Ya, no... I bought a gocontrol garage opener to make mine smart, but its only designed to short the two wires together (simulating a door bell style button). Unfortunately, that just doesn't work here since those wires are carrying data when connected to the enhanced wall units.

So, I bought a little project box, wired the gocontrol to a standard 12vdc relay with wires running from that to the wall unit. I soldered those to the physical button on the circuit board.
