Please add OPEN GARAGE DOOR when I enter my Geofence. I want that to happen 100% of the time. There is already an option to CLOSE GARAGE DOOR when exiting my Geofence. I bought the Wyze device because I thought that OPEN GARAGE DOOR was a feature. My previous door controller from NEXX had this feature but it’s design was faulty in other areas so I went looking for another solution. What are the security concerns? Has anyone had success creating an OPEN rule with IFTTT?

I read somewhere here that if you have alexa, you can add the wyze skills to it, it will find garage door controller and you can set routines. So I checked and I did 2 routines… One to close when I leave and another to open when I arrive. I put my open settings.
I have tested it this week and it has been working for me. When you set it up, it will ask you set a PIN that you are required to have to open the garage. Closing, it will just close. When I enter my geofence (200meters away) , my routine goes off on my phone (this device) and says “open garage, PIN needed” or something like that and I say it and then alexa says “garage opening”. This is best solution for me. I have my alarm to set/disarm and wyze thermostat to turn off/on on alexa routines and other things. Idk if you have wyze checking your location or using their routines (i tried but alexa is more useful and accurate ), wyze location killed my battery (s22 ultra) 100% to 40% in just 4 hours without even touching it. Alexa has like 0 battery usage when I check my battery log and works without any issues.
Here is my alexa transcript this morning
Thanks Spa. Actually, I went to try to add a new device again, and it still wasn’t found. So I scrolled through the devices and the garage door had changed from a camera icon to a garage door. So I enable voice control and it works!
Now if I could just get the scheduled close to work…
I would really like a location trigger to open my garage door using the Wyze garage door opener.

Maybe someone else can comment about the prospect of geofencing for this - I’m curious as well. But one other option, though not as convenient, is voice control. My car has homelink, but I rent a car for out of town trips and don’t bother setting up homelink for each 4 or 5 day rental. So…when I’m leaving my driveway or arriving home in one of the rentals, I can call out (to my phone or Android Auto, whichever is listening), “hey google - open garage door two!” (for example). When opening, it prompts me for the access code which I can respond with verbally. When closing, it simpy blinks the light and sounds the warning tone. Voice control via Android Assistant works quite nicely with the Wyze garage controllers.
