Jun 17, 2019 at 3:56 comment added Sumit Panse Please share some details like what are the connection diagrams (schematic), the kind of switch or a block diagram and the expected behavior of the door opener (like for what is the minimum time you want it to operate, switch behavior during its operation, how switch should turn it ON, etc.)
Jun 16, 2019 at 19:43 comment added Peter Just a detail: check the voltage and if it's high you must use a relay.

Jun 15, 2019 at 23:02 comment added Jasen if you want the opener to only run between two limits, just put additional limit switches at the two limits, wire them in parallel. and wire the push-button in series with the switches.
Jun 15, 2019 at 22:06 comment added jsotola why do you need to debounce the button? ... i am sure that the button on the garage door opener is not debounced
Jun 15, 2019 at 21:36 comment added TimWescott And, while I'm pestering you -- please edit your post to include a proposed schematic, or a block diagram if you're not comfortable with a schematic. Detail how you're connecting the Arduino to the opener, and what "does not work" means (i.e., does it act like the switch is always unpushed, or always pushed, or something odder yet?).
Jun 15, 2019 at 21:35 comment added TimWescott Two things about your question are confusing, and an edit would be appreciated. First, you use "beard board" and "bread board" interchangeably. I believe you mean "bread board". My apologies if dyslexia is one of the crosses you must bear. Second, "debounce" is not the correct term for what you want to do -- "time delay" is a better term. "Debounce" is specifically what you do to overcome the switch physics, not to create some desired behavior.
Jun 15, 2019 at 21:08 comment added Mattman944 The existing opener electronics should already have a de-bounce built-in, you shouldn't need to add one. The simplest control method is to use a relay, then you don't need to understand what is inside the existing opener. Or, a opto-coupled transistor should work, if you get the polarity correct.
Jun 15, 2019 at 20:34 comment added Huisman Or on "arduino button debounce" software solution
Jun 15, 2019 at 20:31 comment added Huisman Why not search for "debounce circuit"? Hardware solution
