I’m still quite a novice at this stuff. We have a standard crafstman garage door opener with a button on the wired remote to lockout wireless remotes. Want to automate this feature as we are unreliable at doing it ourselves.

Solution can include zwave, zigbee, or wifi. Preference for zwave as it seems most reliable for me and this is a security/safety feature. Off-the-shelf product preferred as well as I don’t have the skill or time ATM to homebrew something.

Tried automating the whole opener with a smart switch on a schedule, but that is not ideal and causes frustration for wife and I and safety issue for our kid.

Is there a simple way to put this on a schedule while remaining flexible for exceptions (wired remote button still works, remotes will work if we’re out and arrive home late, etc.) without having to interact with a separate button or dashboard or app?

Thanks for any ideas!
