Google Home Automation opening garage doors doesn't work

Hi,

I have a garage door opener connected to SmartLife app, where it works fine. I've added a device to Google Home and it works: when asking Google assistant to open garage doors it asks me for a PIN and then opens it.

Im having trouble however to create an automation; I've sett a voice command "Arriving home" which should open garage doors and driveway sliding doors simultaneously. But the automation never works, as the Google assistant doesn't ask me for a PIN this time.

 

Any suggestions?

Hi JaniB,
 

Thanks for reaching out and for the information you’ve shared. You can select the option “Try adding your own” under actions and put in the command to open your garage door. Observe if it makes a difference.

Hi, 

I am having almost the same issue, but when i put in the PIN, google home is not opening the garage door.  the garage door is also added to google home via de SmartLife app. 

any suggestion why it is not opening with the pin and what can I do to fix it?

 

thank you

So what i ended up doing is create 2 Tap to Run scene in smart life app. one for Open and another for Close. i then went in Google Home and created 2 household automation (Open/Close) using the wizzard. name your starter, voice command and select Action "Adjust Home device" at the very bottom select Add Scenes and pick the scene you just created in SmartLfe app. that is it. repeat for the other Action.
