How this automation works

Automate your garage control by automatically closing it when a specific openHAB item changes to OFF. This Applet runs whenever the selected openHAB item updates its state to OFF, sending a command to close your Gogogate-connected garage door. Great for ensuring your garage stays secure when devices signal it's time to close.
