Telguard Introduces Universal Z-Wave Garage Door Controller
Telguard introduced the industry’s first truly universal Z-Wave garage door controller, the Telguard GDC1. The UL 325 certified GDC1 was designed and built to Telguard’s specifications by FortrezZ using the binary switch command class. The binary switch is one of the fundamental command classes in Z-Wave home automation, and found in the Z-Wave platform of Telguard’s own HomeControl interactive service and in other interactive platforms including Icontrol Networks, 2GIG, DSC and many more.
The Telguard GDC1 works with any automatic garage door opener connected to a sectional garage door with all entrapment protections in place. It can be quickly and easily installed by anyone simply by pairing it with a Z-Wave controller, mounting the unit and sensor, connecting two wires and plugging it in. The GDC1 can be added to a home automation system to receive notifications if a garage door has been opened when it shouldn’t be or ensure that the garage door is closed at a specific time every night. If the system’s Z-Wave gateway has a mobile app, it can be used to remotely control or monitor the garage door from anywhere.
