- In this video I demo automating a garage door deadbolt based on the location of the individuals in my home. I also demo an automation that disables my garage door remote when I'm not in the immediate vicinity of my house. These solutions are built using HomeAssistamt, a ratgdo shield, a phone, and a relay.
I had known about garage door deadbolts, but was only aware of manual versions that you used when you were away for extended periods of time. I didn’t think having an automated solution until after I purchased my new garage door motor. After purchasing the cheaper motor model, I realized more expensive versions existed with automatic deadbolt support. While I was too late for a turnkey solution, I wanted to explore using HomeAssistant to develop an out of band solution.
Yeah, I know having two security automations such as these is a bit overkill. However, I realize not everyone might want to install a deadbolt so I figured providing both options would open the possibilities to a larger group.
You can find the build of materials and detailed deadbolt wiring instructions on my Github page:

Great overview of your automations. Some of it is over my head at the moment because I have not delved into HomeAssistant yet. What brought me to your video was a search for using an 841LM without a GDO. I hope to use a simple 12V wifi relay to control the 841LM on a manual garage door. My question for you is… is there a minimum amount of time voltage must be applied to the lock to open/close it? And how do you determine it’s current state?
BOOMER!!
