  • Systems and methods for controlling garage door opener operations
    Patent number: 10167661
    Abstract: A garage door opener system includes sensor components and actuatable components. When a condition is detected based on sensor output, a responsive action is selected. The actuatable component is controlled to perform the selected responsive action. Accessory sensors and actuatable accessories may be in communication with the garage door system. When the accessories are found to be present by the garage door opener system, and a condition is detected by the accessory sensor, a responsive action is selected and the actuatable accessory is controlled to perform the responsive action. In either case, the responsive actions may be selected based on rules. The responsive actions may be performed by a combination of the actuatable components of the garage door opener system and the actuatable accessories in communication with the garage door opener system.

  • Methods and systems for controlling a garage door opener accessory
    Patent number: 10127806
    Abstract: A modular garage door opener system has an accessory device including a load, and garage door opener including an accessory port for receiving the accessory device. A server receives initial accessory device status and settings data from the garage door opener, stores the data as associated with the accessory port, and sends the data to a peripheral device. The server receives new accessory device status data and sends it to the peripheral device. New settings data is sent by the peripheral device to the server and the server sends it to the garage door opener such that the load of the accessory device is controlled based on the new settings data. Similarly, initial data may be stored and associated with a second accessory port for a second accessory device and a load of the second accessory device is controlled based on new settings data from received from the peripheral device.
