Implementation Tip
We recommend implementing a garage in KNX with a relay actuator that sends a short impulse, and a binary input connected to a reed contact that closes when the garage door is fully closed.
If you measure the time the garage needs to fully open, you can add this turn-off delay to the binary input to get an "open" notification in the app only after the door is physically open.
