Many of us would like to control our garage doors (automatic opener), but the lack of wires running from our home automation hardware to the garage area may limit this from happening. This How-To will give you some ideas as to how you can accomplish this goal using your existing remote control (well probably a spare one). The method of monitoring the garage door in this example was "hardwired" but that doesn't mean you couldn't use a wireless method such as the DS10A with a W800 RF receiver or an X-10 power flash module. (I already had my garage door monitored by wiring a magnetic contact switch to my SECU16I (Ocelot add-in module)).

This How-To will not show you any "earth shattering" techniques; rather it will hopefully generate some ideas that may work out for you!
