"Dumb" switch not opening garage

[withay]

Thanks! Yeah, no way of knowing until I can get into the garage, and the garage isn’t attached to the house. LOL I truly love, LOVE the cold and snow, but I’m comfy and don’t feel like trekking through it! Thanks again - I’ll report back when I get this figured out.

None of my contact sensors actually open or close something,

I had the same question… something is up there…

physically consists of two parts, the main part that receives the zwave signal and acts as a switch to tell the garage door to open or close, and a tilt sensor that tells the main part whether the actual door is opened (tilted) or not.

• Normally, contact sensors report to the hub when contact changes
• Normally, contact sensors cannot receive commands from ST or webCoRE

As mentioned earlier, I would focus on trying to send a command to:
'the zwave signal (that) acts as a switch to tell the garage door to open or close"

So my OTHER garage door (same setup) I used the new app’s “if/then” automation, and it works. But it doesn’t work if the switch position doesn’t match the door (if I use my truck’s remote to open the garage door, I can’t use the switch to close it unless I turn “on” the switch first, which I don’t like). So SOMETHING works with it…
