Re: Rigging sensors

You would need to look at what connections there are on the sensor. If you had someone with a sensor installed on their garage door then you could just take a multimeter and see what leads are the power, ground, and signal. There may be more than one signal but I doubt it. Testing a working one would be a great way to find out. You may have to wire a custom connector for it eventually though.
