More Info

My garage door opener accepts a dry contact to open and close the garage door (one button control)

The basic operation of this will just work as an ordinary clicker. The magic comes in with Home Assistant.

Each time we command the door to to open or close we tell home assistant what our intention is with a webhook which triggers automations.
