mtvanc Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Is there a module or a piece of hardware I can buy to pair my car's garage button to do a custom action such as turning on the alarm or setting a scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAV Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 You'll need an RF remote your car can learn, and a receiver in the house that can interface with Control4. Could be as simple as a relay kit from amazon wired to a contact of Control4. Could be done with a Bond bridge to Control4 and any old ceiling fan remote taught to both the car and the Bond. New garage openers are mostly 433Mhz, older openers were 300, 310, 315, or 390 Try one of these if you're game and let us know. 433 https://www.amazon.com/DieseRC-Universal-Wireless-Transmitter-Controller/dp/B098LHS5RN/ref=m_crc_dp_lf_d_t1_d_sccl_1_2/136-1745826-2404545?pd_rd_w=7ulPS&content-id=amzn1.sym.76a0b561-a7b4-41dc-9467-a85a2fa27c1c&pf_rd_p=76a0b561-a7b4-41dc-9467-a85a2fa27c1c&pf_rd_r=Q0BC88BWQTTBSDYYK0R6&pd_rd_wg=v3Nme&pd_rd_r=a80b34c8-18dc-48cd-abb0-05b435193a5a&pd_rd_i=B098LHS5RN&psc=1 315 https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Receiver-Equipped-Portable-Transmitter/dp/B07V465LLB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAV Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 You can also use a Lutron Pico remote with a Visor clip rather than your car's button, gets you several buttons and has great range. or if invested in Radio RA already, their Visor Interface ~$300 and learn to your car's built in button.

I just found one that also supports zigbee so hopefully I can just connect straight to c4 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B978T5FT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can wire those relays to a Control4 contact input and do your programming as you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it works out well! I got big plans for this! These run on Tuya. I own one. I haven't attempted to integrate it with C4. They do not pair with Control4 zigbee. Your best bet is buy the Liftmaster 850LM. This will allow you to connect it to your cars homelink buttons. You then hook this into the back of your Control4 controller (contact sensor) or use a z2io to capture the contract closure. You can then action off of it. I do this today and it works really well.

Neo1738 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 1) PICO remote 2) There are C4 NYCE remotes (might get on ebay as they are discontinued) but would do exactly what you want. https://www.nycesensors.com/product/lifestyle-automation-keyfob Biggest thing will be range.
