Z-Wave Garage Door Control (GDC-3)

Introduction

GDC-3 is a Z-Wave Garage Door Control that connects to the garage door opener. After joining Z-Wave network, GDC-3
can receive commands from the Z-Wave network to activate connected garage door opener, providing convenient
Operation for remotely opening or closing the garage door.
GDC-3 also includes a wireless tilt sensor (Tilt-GDC3) that attaches to the inside of the garage door and reports the status
of when the garage door is "open", "closed", or moving.
Before the remotely activated garage door begins to move, the warning LEDs on GDC-3 will flash and the built-in siren will
emit alarm beeps.
Z-Wave is a wireless communication protocol that uses a low-power RF radio. The Z-Wave Garage Door Control allows
access to the "S2 Unauthenticated" class and supports Z-Wave SmartStart inclusion as well as classic inclusion.
