If you have a garage, chances are that at some point, you’ve driven away and wondered, “…Did I remember to close the garage?” Since a significant percentage of home break-ins occur through garages, forgetting to close or lock up your door is essentially leaving a welcome mat out for intruders. Fortunately, a smart home can sense when you’re gone and automatically close up after you. Just as you can lock and unlock doors and turn on lights, electronics, and appliances from anywhere with SmartThings, you can also open and close your garage door with a simple tap of a button. • A SmartThings Hub • A SmartSense Multi sensor • A compatible garage door opener (recommended: Evolve relay switch) After installing the relay switch in your garage and placing a SmartSense Multi on your garage door (which senses if the door is open or close), you’ll be able to trigger your garage door to automatically open/close when you arrive/leave through two different ways:
You can either use your smartphone as a presence sensor and set up a Geo-fence around your home using the free SmartThings app; or you can simply carry a SmartSense Presence sensor in your car/briefcase/keychain/etc to automatically open or close the garage door when you roll into the driveway. Additionally, you can always manually open and close your garage door simply by tapping a button in the free SmartThings app. Sorry, burglars.

Here’s how I got it working.
First, a quick demo of the final product. Once I got everything working, using this thing is pretty simply. I launch X10 Commander on my iPhone: Then I tap the “ON” button with my finger and after a small lag (1 second?), my garage door… “Who cares?” you ask… well, having my iPhone to control my garage means: So how does this all work? Pay attention because it’s a somewhat long-winded chain of events that makes X10 Commander control my garage door (almost a Rube Goldberg machine!): 1. I have the X10 Commander iPhone App installed on my iPhone (link, $9.99): 2. It talks, over my home wi-fi network (a pair of D-Link DIR-655s setup as access points), to the X10 Commander “Server” software I have running on an always-on Windows XP PC upstairs in my home office: 3. The X10 Commander Server software talks to an USB to RF X10 interface (the X10 CM19A)dongle on the same Windows XP PC: 4. That dongle on my computer talks to an RF to X10 interface device (the X10 TM751) plugged into a nearby power outlet:
5. Now we move downstairs to the garage where I have an X10 controller for low-voltage devices (an X10 PUM01) plugged into another home power outlet: 6. And the terminals on the X10 low-voltage control device are spliced into the control wires for the garage door opener: 7. And the control wires are, obviously, connected to the garage door opener which opens my garage: It’s all run pretty reliably for a couple of months now and never fails to impress. Surprisingly the most fragile piece has NOT been the Windows XP PC (would have been my first guess), but the TM751 (step 4 above). Because it’s connected to a childproofed power outlet and it’s at the entrance to my home office, if it’s ever brushed by a passing child, a the cuff of my pant, or a projectile toy, it easily loses contact. But even this hasn’t been a big deal — I can only remember one occasion where the whole thing hasn’t worked since I set it up. Another tip: A lot of the X10 stuff can be found on eBay and elsewhere online at pretty low prices.
