Smart Implant of garage door and automatic gates

Here is the community conversation I had when setting up Heimdall. You can see all the mistakes I made.

To set up the Sensor Virtual Device:

  1. Add a device, virtual device
  2. Give the device a name nd select an icon, I use the open door icon
  3. Select the device class, select Sensor class
  4. Select a capability, select Door/Window Open

That’s it. Then follow the thread above and you should be all good to go.

I have a gate and a garage door, and the garage has a side door as well. So even though I only need one output to open the garage door, I use both inputs to monitor the state of both doors. You can see here my garage door is open.
