Great info all. I think I have finally got this down.
1) I need a sensor to detect current status of the garage door. Open or close
2) I need a way to trigger the garage door opener
I have ordered a DS10a to connect to a Seco garage door magnet. That will be used to detect the open/close state of the door itself.
I have ordered X10 Pro Universal contact closure and WGL X10-RF (USB) adapter. This is what I will use to trigger the door opener. The only RF anything I have right now is 802.11 wifi....
My door has a safety sensor so it will not close if something is in the way.
Let me know if you see any potential issues with this setup. I should have all my bits this week so I can get this installed this weekend!
Thanks!
