Nice job on this. You really explained in detail how to see this up and because I was looking for a Smartthings compatible device, I just bought one.
Great! Glad I could help. Trying to make this stuff simple for everyone :)
@@SimplySmart123 I installed this in December and it worked great until a week ago when it lost its connection. I tried to "reboot" the device several times by unplugging it. I then deleted the Go Control device under Smartthings and could not get it to re-install. I finally did some reading and had to put Smartthing under exclusion mode to delete the device. I couldn't get the device re-installed until I moved it next to the Smarththings Hub and after doing the install twice got it finally back online. I don't know why it lost its connection permanently. Perhaps it was due to a smartthings hub upgrade which I have as "Allow". Except for that one incident, it has worked with no problems.
Super video! Everything you did, I did. The only thing my device doesn't do is actually open the garage door. It thinks it's working. Still trouble shooting.
That is strange. Might have a wire in the wrong spot.
@@SimplySmart123 I put them into where the wall button is. I'll try something new. Thanks
@albertwilcox1610 you can also contact the manufacturer to see if they have any suggestions on your particular door opener.
@@SimplySmart123 I will do that thanks.
Answers all the questions I had! I wish it was integrate with iOS Homekit when using Z-Wave. Guess that's the price we have to pay being on the iOS side.
Thank you! Subscribed
Great! Glad I answered all of your questions. SmartThings works perfectly with IOS 😎
Simply Smart 123 going to BestBuy right meow!!!
Simply Smart 123 I keep forgetting to close me garage
Automation is the best.
Simply Smart 123 agreed! New house problems
I don't have a garage but I like that and about all I can understand I went to sleep on you and I am sorry and Good morning .
Great!
What app are you using ? I can’t find anything for it on the Apple Store
everything in my house is connected to SmartThings. Then SmartThings is connected to Alexa to enable voice control over all of my devices.
Have you figured out how to disable to audible alert?
No. I kinda of like it. I can hear it from inside so I know when the door is going to open or close in advance.
Does your app report the correct open and closed status if you use the remote or the button, not from the app?
Yes because there is a tilt sensor that goes onto the garage door. The tilt sensor is what determines the status of the door whether it is opening, closing, open, or closed.
Hey! Did you switch to Edge driver yet? Thanks
Not yet. Waiting on SmartThings to do as much as they can before deleting devices and adding them again.
@@SimplySmart123 Thank you! It's great to see that you read comments and trying to help! :)
Are you able to mute or change the alert chime in settings? I leave before my kids are awake, so that sound might be too loud since their rooms are not that far from the garage. Any feedback regarding that concern?
It’s sounds really loud in the video but I can barely hear it inside the house. Even when in the garage it’s not uncomfortable to listen to.
Do you have to have the opener that close to the hub to connect it?....my opener is hanging already...will I have to take it down?
Not sure if I understand that question. You do need the tilt sensor so it knows if it’s opening closing open or closed.
@@SimplySmart123 in the video you took the actual opener to the smart hub to connect it wirelessly...is that how it has to be done
Not necessarily. It’s better to have it close to your hub but it should connect fine in your garage. Just make it as easy as possible by opening doors and if needed you could relocate your hub closer to the garage temporarily.
@@SimplySmart123 thanks
How do you write an automation program to use your iPhone as a presence sensor with geofencing with the new SmartThings app. The trouble I’m having, is that when I return home, the door opens and when I try to manually close it later on, the door will open immediately upon the door sensor reads “closed”. I’ve tried the timers and the home, away and night modes. I don’t have a good understanding on what the different modes are, but I feel like I’ve tried everything that I can think of. The only way I can close the door is to turn off the automation scene of me arriving home. Please let me know if you can help me or not. I’ve looked at plenty of videos of how to do the programming on the old SmartThings app, but not on the new version.
I have the same garage opener. Can you take a close up picture of which spots you put the connectors in?
I have From left to right. A Dark Red Standby, a Light red Standby, A white, and a Black that says B/W
Can't figure out which one to connect them too
I just figured it out. Its the white and black ones to the right. Thanks appreciate the video.
Great! Glad you got it figured out. One of my favorite smart home products!
@@SimplySmart123 Yes. I was debating this one for awhile. Was fearful of people saying theirs stopped working after awhile.
Decided to just go with it. Bought mine from Home Depot Online last week and received GD00Z-8-GC. So I guess its the latest version. So 🤞 it stays working for awhile. Goes great with my Jasco GE Z-Wave plus light switches and Samsung Smartthings.
If you are a garage user it’s a must. I have had mine almost 2 years with no issues. It’s possible the people that had issues were in extreme temperatures or moisture creating issues. I know plenty of people that have them with no issues.
Have you ever used meross msg100? What is your opinion regatding gocontrol vs meross? I use smartthings and sharptools.
Since the Meross WiFi garage door controller connects to Alexa you should be able to add it to your SmartThings and then SharpTools by using this method: ua-cam.com/video/fI2TuQMeHHc/v-deo.html
The only issue I see is you might not be able to unlock it with Alexa due to Alexa security.
How is it going. I have the IRIS garage opener and it work great with SmartThings, how do I make it work with Alex ? I have Alex integration with Smartthings but Alexa says it cant open or close garage
You will need to create a virtual switch and then you will be able to control it with Alexa. This is an older video but the concept is still the same ua-cam.com/video/80Bu0vHfuaA/v-deo.html
I want to purchase this device and follow your excellent video; howerver, Amazon reviews are really bad. How is your device functioning these days?
My device is perfect.
Most people don’t leave good reviews because it works like expected. Negative reviews are often more prevalent especially with technology products due to operator error.
I have 2 garage door openers. Is it possible to wire up to both to the one GoControl?
I haven’t tried that but I think you could split the wires and have one wire go to one and one go to the other but you wouldn’t be able to control them independently and it might cause issues when you do control them independently not using the GoControl. I would suggest getting 2 to have more control over each door, less wear and tear on each opener and no syncing issues.
Hi, thanks so much for this thorough video. Do you use google home and can you confirm you can operate the garage (both open and close) with voice commands? I'm looking to use google assistant to open the garage while on the road on my bicycle .
+Joel Miller it will work with google assistant. Do you have a SmartThings hub? You will need a hub to connect the z-wave signal for sure.
@@SimplySmart123 great, thanks
There is also alittle trick in SmartThings that I plan to make a video on soon. Let me know if you need it before I post the video.
Great video. I have 2 questions for ya. I have a SmartThings hub. How do you make it open automatically using your phone as a presence sensor? And how do you connect it so I can control it with my Alexa??? Thanks.
What version app are you using?
Here is the video on how import all of your SmartThings devices into Alexa to voice control but with the garage door it’s alittle tricky. I will try and make 2 videos this weekend to cover each.
How to Connect SmartThings to Amazon Alexa ua-cam.com/video/fmdtvcgE8AI/v-deo.html
Actually I have both SmartThings on my phone. I don’t like the new one at all. Classic gives me much much more information. Thanks for the quick response. I wasn’t expecting that. Lol. I’ll check that video out when I get home from work.
Message me on Facebook later tonight and I will walk you through both. Be good practice for the videos I need to make.
Does this work for an electric gate
It’s not rated for outside but it could work if you can connect the wires in a similar way as shown in the video.
Do you know if this will work without the tilt sensor?
No. It will need the tilt sensor to know the stats of the door. It’s included Witt the controller.
@@SimplySmart123 the reason I asked is I'd be using this for a gate, not a garage door. I was hoping the tilt sensor was able to be turned off or disabled or at least the device would function without it..
That’s a good question. I might ask that to the manufacturer to be sure.
Can you stop it when ever you want when going up or going down? Say its hot and i want air to come in so i want to open it 1 or 2 feet and leave it like that. Is somerhing like that possible?
Unfortunately not. Once you send the open command it will not accept any other commands until it’s completely open and then there is about a 5-10 second delay before it will accept the close command. Good thought though! That would be a useful feature!
@@SimplySmart123 thank you for replying
Anytime. Sorry it will not allow you to vent the garage on command.
Does this work with all newer model openers or only certain brands? I have a new 2019 Chamberlain and I’ve read it doesn’t play nicely with other devices. This looks like exactly what I’ve been looking for but concerned it isn’t compatible with my brand of opener.
In the part of the video you will need to check if you have the connections mentioned in the wiring portion. If you don’t have your wall button hardwired to the opener it will not work because it’s sending a wireless signal and this device sends the commands via the wires to the actual garage open motor.
If you get it and it’s not compatible you can just return it also :)
Does this device still work for you with the new SmartThings hub that just came out? I can’t get mine to add as a device with the new SmartThings app. It just stopped working a while ago now and hasn’t worked since.
Yes, it still works. Note when adding with the new app sometimes it says it fails but it does add. If it was previously added you will have to exclude it first. Follow the directions to do that but first be sure it's not in your device list.
I need help connecting a GoControl Smart Wall Switch to SmartThings. Do you have a video?
Andrea Clark I don’t have a video on it but what I would suggest is to follow the exclusion process first and then follow the inclusion process. Each process should be found in the instructions that came with your device. Good luck!
What is the other device installed on your ceiling?
You are probably talking about the laser parker. Here is the install video on it:
ua-cam.com/video/XYmSblWJBHk/v-deo.html
The other stuff is just a power strip and an extension cord.
Does the installation of this product render the actual garage door opener remotes useless where only the phone app will work the opener? Thanks, I’m relatively new to all this automation. Thanks for the video.
+MagzOK No. Your normal garage door openers and everything existing will still work as normal.
Basically all this does is adds another way to send a signal to your garage door just like your remotes but you also get the benefit of knowing the status and being able to contol it anywhere in the world (with internet connection) and even open and close it with Alexa!
This is by far the best smart home product I have purchased along with my smart front door lock because gaining access to your home and making it secure are both very important!
Are you able to turn off, or at least turn down, the sound of that beep?
PerkyandSaggyVids it’s not too loud. There is no software way to disable the beeping because it’s for safety. I will look tonight to see if there is a easy manual way.
I guess I could tape over the speaker or something, in the video it seemed very loud
Yea I was going to check to see if the sound comes out at a specific place that was tapeable. I don’t hear it very often because it automatically opens for me to go to work in the morning and automatically opens when I come home. I can also open and close it with Alexa so I don’t need to be in the garage or nearby to operate it.
Okay well let me know when you get a chance to look, thanks for the quick reply!
There is no specific location that the sounds comes out of that I can find. But if I had to guess it comes out from around the bump out on top of the base. There is a gap all the way around it. But even with my head right up next to it it wasn’t unpleasant and I have great hearing :)
So I hooked up everything to a smart hub and my phone...smartthings sees the opener and sensor...when I hit open the go control beeps the warning but never opens or closes the garage...please assist
Sounds like everything is working but when it tries to send the open command to your garage door your garage door is not getting the command probably because the wires are not in the correct place. Also you do need to calibrate it by opening and closing your door with your normal wall mount push button.
@@SimplySmart123 I am on the red and white terminals..when I open smartthings app and go to the opener I see the opener and sensor...when I hit open the opener does an alert sound and blinks and even says door is opening but it doesn't
For some reason it’s not sending the signal to your garage door. Have a garage door is a little bit different so make sure you are using the diagram for your specific garage door. What I show in the video is specific to my garage door. You may also contact the company for customer support.
@@SimplySmart123 what is the exact part number to the one you installed in the video
Not sure. That was years ago.
IFTTT or geofencing possible?
Megan R since it’s not cloud based you can’t directly connect to IFTTT but if you connect it to SmartThings or another hub you gain the cloud functionality and both the IFTTT and geofencing is available. We use our phones as presence sensors so the garage door opens automatically when we arrive. We still manually close it or use Alexa.
you can get the Tailwind iQ3 smart opnerer gotailwind.com/ and then you dont have to jump threw hoops or buy extra hardware to get it to geofence..cost about the same perhaps less if you dont have to buy additional parts
I've read a lot of comments about how unreliable this product is. How's it operate for those of you who have installed it?
Mine has been perfect. Most people are not going to say something if it works great. But people that have problems tend to have stronger options. Also it may depend on the environment that the controller is placed. We are in SC with an insulated garage so the electrical components are not in any extremes.
I was debating this one for awhile too but decided on it.
Decided to just go with it. Bought mine from Home Depot Online last week and received GD00Z-8-GC. So I guess its the latest version. So 🤞 it stays working for awhile.
