Use a regular door/window sensor connected to a hub that can alert you with status changes combined with the hinge hack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlwwGyNbR5U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlwwGyNbR5U I also have a MyQ gateway that I can use to view the status of and operate the garage door remotely. The garage door itself has a timeout set which closes the door automatically after a set period (2 minutes in my case) if I forget to do so.
