I’m looking for something I can mount outside the house that, when the correct combination is entered, sends a signal to my VeraLite (e.g. triggers a scene).
Sounds simple, but I can’t seem to find it… all the Z-wave combo pads I can find are also door locks.
I suppose I could use an actual garage door opener (like this one), which has the form factor and basic functionality I’m looking for, except that it’s designed to trigger a garage opener. But I could just go ahead and open the garage door, I guess, and then if I want other things to happen, trigger it based on the door opening.
But that’s suboptimal for several reasons. A combo-based scene trigger seems like such an obvious device, surely I’m just missing it somehow… any pointers?

What you want doesn’t exist. Your 2nd plan seems to be common work around.
