Z-Wave Smart Garage Door Controller

Why Choose This with Smart Shield Systems

• Clean, code-aware install: we mount the controller, tie into the opener’s control inputs, pair it to your Alarm.com-enabled panel, and verify the mandated beep/flash warnings and safety reversal work correctly.

• Door status that’s accurate: we place and enroll the included tilt sensor at the top panel so your app shows Open/Closed/Moving reliably.

• Compatibility check: we confirm your opener isn’t a MyQ/AssureLink-only model and advise alternatives when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the system know if the door is actually closed?

An included tilt sensor mounts on the top door panel and reports Open/Closed to the controller, which the panel/app displays.

Will it work with my opener?

If your opener uses standard wall-button inputs on a sectional door, likely yes. Pure MyQ/AssureLink-only systems require a different approach—we’ll check your model first.

Is it safe to move the door remotely?

Yes—the unit beeps and flashes before motion to comply with UL 325-2010. You’ll also retain your opener’s built-in safety eyes and reversal features.

What’s the wireless range?

Z-Wave mesh range is up to ~130 ft to the nearest node; we ensure there’s a nearby repeater/device for a solid link.

Does it support secure Z-Wave?

Yes—Z-Wave Plus with S2 security and OTA updates are supported.
