About
Third Reality's smart garage door opener takes a different approach to retrofitting: instead of wiring into the opener's terminals, it physically presses the existing wall button. That makes it compatible with virtually any garage door opener regardless of brand or age, and it exposes the door to Matter ecosystems so it works with Alexa, Google Home and Apple Home alike. Installation is adhesive-mount and requires no electrical work.
