Basically. I have a switch which literally sends the MQTT command,

I use a ruller shutter item to have UP X DOWN as commands.
I then run rules to check if the garage is down, and i press down, nothing happens, If the garage is up and i press up, nothing happens. And the X button only works if the garage is neither opened of closed.

I also have 2 reed switches, one for open, one for close.

I have another rule. which when i press either up or down, it sends the command to activate the garage. if after 25 seconds, it hasn’t activated the reed switch i wanted, (either opened or closed depending what i pressed), it will press the garage button one time. If for instance, there is something blocking the door from moving, it wont run the rule again, as I pressed the garage button, not pressed up/down again.

I also have timers, and auto closing after certain times. as you can see in my rules
