If your garage door opener is on the compatible list below, you can connect the device to the opener, if not on this list, you can do the following to test if GD-DC5 will work with your garage door opener:
Take a wire with both ends stripped or a straightened-out paper clip and put each end to the same terminals as the wall button wires are terminated to. By doing so, if your door activates, then your garage door opener is compatible with EACHEN GD-DC5 by default. If the door does not activate, then the opener is not compatible by default, then you can try to connect the device to the remote controller or the wall console.
Also you can ask Google Home to control the device with the following voice commands.
Try out these phrases ( {deviceName} should be the name of your device):
“hey, google, turn on {deviceName}”
“OK, google, turn off {deviceName}”
This product is also compatible with Amazon Alexa. You can ask Alexa to control the device with the following voice commands.
“Alexa, turn on {deviceName}”
“Alexa, turn off {deviceName}”
