A few people with garages and door openers have done a really neat thing. They have a Z-Wave or Zigbee transmitter hard-wired to the switched ignition power in their car. When they turn on the ignition to start their car, the transmitter powers up, and garage door automatically opens. If they accidentally push the remote start button or try to kill themselves from carbon monoxide poisoning, the door opening keeps everyone safe! As soon as the ignition is turned off or the car leaves the short Zigbee/Z-Wave radio range, the door closes itself. Another example of home AUTOMATION.
We don't park in our current detached garage, but you can take it to the bank that I would have something like this set up...like yesterday...if we did.....
