In the process of designing a new place, with a sectional automatic garage door, and im thinking about prewiring the garage door opening buttons, but have a couple of questions.
1) Given that the hard wired opening buttons tend to be low voltage, is it okay to put them in the same flush box/wall plate as mains voltage light switches? I was thinking about using a momentary switch mech.
2) Im thinking of having two trigger locations - one at the back of the garage, and one just inside the front door of the house. My only concern is that the front door location doesnt have a direct view of the garage door - would this be unsafe? As it is a sectional door it doesnt swing out, and we dont have kids, but i cant help but feel this might be bit of a hazard.
Appreciate your thoughts.
