Overview

The Konnected Garage Door Opener White is a smart home device designed to automate your garage doors. It can be easily retrofitted older garage door openers, letting you open or close it and know if it's open or closed in real-time using either a laser based sensor or hard wired sensor.

The Konnected Garage Door Opener White is designed to meet the requirements of UL 325 and related United States safety regulations concerning the unattended operation of a residential garage door. The device features a customizable and built-in audible and visual pre-close warning that is automatically initiated by the hardware, so no action is required by the integrator when automated through this driver.

Konnected’s Garage Door Opener White works with most garage doors with a wired push-button mounted on the wall, a simple “dry-contact” switch.
