I have two questions.
1. I'm currently using an IFTTT recipe to open my driveway gate via a cell phone when I enter a geo fenced area on Google maps. so basically, when I arrive to my house, the gate is open for me and closes after a set period of time. It works fine a lot of the time, but other times it can take from 1 minute two half an hour to work which is a bit of a bummer. Maybe it's the cell network, who knows.
Anyway, I was wondering if anything can be done on homeseer to achieve more consistant results?
2. I'd like to be able to open or close my gate internally via alexa. I have 3 handsets in the house and normally you would push a button on one of the hand sets. The wiring for all 3 handsets terminate into a junction box in my comms room, right beside my alexa and homeseer setup.
I was thinking of a z-wave power relay but maybe thats a bit over the top for something so simple. Basically, I'd like to be able to say, "Alexa open/close the gate"
I should add, I'm also using OMNIPRO 2 and a centralite system if that helps.
Just wondering if anyone has done something similar?
