Any tips how to best integrate a garage door opener to the car (other than gluing my remote to the dashboard? Perhaps some aftermarket option that is neatly done and fits the Enyaq?

I tried a Meross smart door opener which fried the PCB on my motor, so after a £150 repair I had to rethink and found the "Smart Bot" switch which you just stick to the rocker switch of your electric door opener and along with a tiny hub close by enables you to open or close your garage door by asking Alexa, Google assistant, Siri etc. from anywhere. It is brilliant, only took minutes to set up and cost about £40 all in. I just keep the Alexa app open on my phone, usually on the charging tray and don't need to touch it.

I have a similar door opener. If yours is the same you can set up two routines on Alexa to open and close the door. As Alexa thinks the opener is a switch set up a routine "Open garage door" and "Close Garage door" as Turn smart garage door opener on/off".

Yep, that's exactly what I've done.

Great minds think alike. :P

Thanks, so essentially you control it via phone/app.
Maybe the Skoda voice assistant can handle it for you?

I doubt it at the moment, I think you're better sticking with Alexa, Google assistant or Siri. Have a look at the switch Bot on amazon, there are also plenty of videos on you tube

Yeah, I found that, but wanted a more low tech (real button) solution. Not a fan of Alexa/Siri/google to flush the toilet just because I can. :D

Sounds like you might be best to stick with the remote.

Was thinking more along these type of solutions. Maybe it works for the Enyaq as well?
