I m using the linear fs20z with the staples connect hub to control my garage door while i m away.
Instructions say to power it on and hit the button to get it to.
The relay switch needs a neutral and ground wire in addition to the line wire the two wires that control my garage door are connected to the low voltage wires behind my garage door button on the garage wall.

I ve unplugged plugged it pushed the button even done a dance around it but it s simply not connecting.
