Manufacturer Specific • Manufacturer ID: 0x014A • Product Type: 0x0007 • Product ID: 0x4731 Mapping of the Basic Command Class The Garage Door Controller has the Basic Command Class mapped to the Barrier Operator Command Class such that a Basic Set of a value is the equivalent of a Barrier Operator Set of a target value. A Barrier Operator Report with a state of 0x00 will map to a Basic Report with a current value of 0x00.

The Supervision Command class does not allow for status updates for a controller to monitor door state changes. For status updates on the state of the door, the device will transmit updates automatically using the Barrier Operator and Notification Command Classes without needing to rely on the Supervision Command Class for door state behavior.
