Omegix/Home Automation/Monoprice Dual Relay Garage Door Opener

Dual Garage Door Opener

Pictured Above: Monoprice Dual Relay Controller wired to two 120 V isolated relays. Resting inside the enclosure is a Aeon Z-wave minimote (remote) used for testing. Both the relay controller and the minimote are joined to a Zwave networked controlled by a SmartThings v2 hub. A SmartApp (TM) has been setup on the hub to react in the following way: When Button 1 is pressed, Relay 1 is toggled. When Button 2 is pressed, Relay 2 is toggled.
