Add Garage Door opener to Fav on UD Mobile

[jim_]

One of those items you forget to add ... caught in heavy rain today, no shortcut to open the garage door on my cell.  I had a look through other posts and can't find a simple guide to creating a FAV for my garage door opener on UD Mobile.  I have the Garage Door Sensor and Relay (IO Link) listed as hardware, I also have Scenes connecting garage door KPL's, but nothing seems to work when adding as a new FAV

I found this on Google, but not clear on what in my devices to assign to "select your garage door opener"

Step-by-Step Guide to Adding a Garage Door Opener Favorite 

Navigate to the Favorites Page: Open the UD Mobile app and go to the Favorites screen.
Enter Add Mode: Tap the + (plus) icon, which will be located on the Favorites page.
Select the Node: Tap on Display Node.
Choose Your Device: From the list of devices, find and select your garage door opener.
Save the Favorite: Click the Save button to add the garage door opener to your Favorites.

See the custom toggle example. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/UD_Mobile#Favorite_Examples

Basically you want the "Display node to show the sensor and the "Command" to be a program you create which triggers the door.  Or if the door only supports toggle, you can trigger the door directly in "Command".

I have an Elk alarm that I physically wired the relay into the garage door opener, so if I turn the Elk relay on for 1 second it is like pushing the button for 1 second.  An IO linc would work the same.  This is how I set it up.  I also set the icon to be green when the door is closed.  Hitting the button on UD mobile is the same as hitting the button in the house for 1 second.  I do not have a "close" and "open" button because they don't work with garage doors that are already in motion.  If the door is closing, it will still register as open.  I suppose you could put a delay in that waits for however many seconds your garage door takes to close before testing if the door is closed, but then it will delay every time you try to close the door.
