The 'smart' openers have a continuous voltage across the 'smart' button controller. The controller button has a clock and provides other functions. Creating a short across this circuit, with a parallel relay, reboots the 'smart' controller.

Last time I had a GDO replaced in my home, I opted for a 'dumb', old-fashioned model, to ease integration.

If you can remove the fancy pushbutton controller (which displays the time) and replace it with a simple pushbutton, I think your relays should work. Not sure if that is an option for you.

I don't think they have the smart controllers but will check tomorrow, thanks for the insight! That may be the issue....

If it's the case, we may be able to swap it out but do you know if a diode or resistor may work in that scenario in case they decide against it?

TIA,
Kevin
