The garage opener i bought is called boxer 3000 and it seems similar to almost all other openers on the market.

Since the garagedoor icon expects the states open and closed the icon will visually change to match the door state. Also i changed the item names to reflect which garage door they are foor so i put a 1 at the end of the ones for garage door 1 and a 2 for garage door 2. See the instructions to learn more. Since the door icons end in open png and closed png they won t work with a switch unless you make copies of them and rename to end in on png and off png.
