There are several ways to control your garage door with a Z-Wave home controller. We have found that this method using these products seems to be the safest, easiest and cheapest way to go.
Your kit will come with the following parts.

  1. A Z-Wave Appliance Module 
    The appliance module will receive the Z-Wave signals for the door opener.
    Make sure you have an appliance module and not a dimmable light module, as a dimming light module will not function correctly with our RM10.
  2. A relay module to trigger your garage door opener. (RM-10)
    The RM10 is the interface between your appliance module and your door opener.
    It is designed to duplicate the action of the button on your wall when triggering your door opener.  
    This low voltage relay is assembled by 007 Systems. It is tested and is much safer than any 110 volt relay.
  3. A door sensor. (EL-TILTZWAVE2-ECO)
    This Z-Wave door tilt sensor will tell your home controller if your garage door is open or closed. You will need this sensor if you plan on doing any automation based on the status of the door. You will also need this sensor if you want to see the status of the door.
  4. A camera to see the state of your garage door live. (Optional but highly recommended!)
    This is an option, but we do highly recommend them as they give you a live view of your garage door. With an IP camera you can see if it is safe to open or close the garage door.

Instructional Video
WARNING: Do not install automation equipment on any motorized door or gate unless you have the latest safety equipment supplied by it's manufacture installed on it, including but not limited to, occupancy sensors, status sensors, reverse sensors and reverse mechanisms.
Using automation or control equipment on a motorized door or gate can be dangerous. Be aware, you are giving control of your electric door motor and door to an electrical device which can trigger your door or gate at any time.
007 Systems takes no responsibility for any damage or injury resulting in the use of these parts.
We also have a written document you can print out for installation of the RM10 here.

Further Instructions
Once you have the appliance module, RM10 and the door sensor installed, you can now control your door with the controller.
Please be aware that appliance modules are either on or off. Each trigger of the door opener places the Z-Wave module and the RM10 in the on position. It will stay in that position until you turn it off until you install automation to do that for you. If you leave the Z-Wave module and the RM10 in the on position, it may cause problems with your wall button.

To solve this problem, please use automation to automatically turn off the appliance module after it is triggered by you. If you have a Vera controller and have both the appliance module, RM10 and the door sensor correctly installed and connected to the Vera controller, we recommend downloading and installing the "Garage Door" plug in from the Vera plug in store. It will take care of turning the Z-Wave module and the RM10 off for you after each trigger and really makes controlling your garage door much easier.
