Very cool homebrew solution. If you need the feature but don’t have time to homebrew it, Chamberlain has a piece of hardware (MyQ) for $30 (occasionally goes on sale for $17-$25) that enables you to poll garage door status and control it remotely using their app and API. Uses a sensor you attach to the garage door, talks using RF to the opener. Some lifter units even have this built in now.
