Good luck with your project.
Garage door status switch.
A new product that would be very useful would be an inching self locking wifi wireless switch with 2 leads that could be connected to something such as a reed switch that would report back the status as being open or closed.
Whether for convenience or security your smart phone and tablet allow you to control your garage door.
This would make a simple wifi device that could be used on items such as a garage door opener.

Know if you accidentally left the garage door open and remotely close it if necessary.
The doorbell switch now activates the garage door opener and the light comes on when the door opens whole thing runs off the existing door bell transformer using repurposed 4 conductor telephone corded.
For prototyping testing you can apply the magnetic reed switch to your door using velcro.
The rf sonoff door sensor will not help you knwo the status of the garage door.

So it does not give a status of the door just gives you an alarm when the door transitions from closed to opened.
I have 2 of these modified switches one by the front door and one by the rear allowing me to open and monitor the garage door from either spot.
I use a itching self locking wifi wireless switch now to control my opener.
It only send an rf pulse in the moment the sensor goes from closed to opened.
