Hello, I am trying to automate my garage door opening and closing depending on my wife’s or my own location and proximity to home. I’ve got the automation working to the point where it’ll send me a notification when me or my wife enters or leaves one of the zones I’m interested in, but doesn’t open/close our garage door. Is this a security feature or something I’m missing? I’ve got a MyQ garage door opener and am using the below config.
