I use this: https://www.thesmartesthouse.com/products/diy-smart-garage-opener-kit-zooz-multirelay-ecolink-tilt-sensor

It's a bit finicky. If I open the door through home assistant, it prevents me from operating the door through the manual opener until I click twice. Otherwise, local opener has no power. Not sure if I installed it incorrectly.

But it works fine, otherwise.

I don't know if my opener has the dry contacts required to make a solution like this work. I'm not keen on hacking the remote or anything. I might have to replace the opener before I have the right contacts to use something like this..... which might be the plan, I'm going to take a close look at the specific unit I have and find the model and manual tomorrow, and see what's in the manual before I do anything more....
