The job that keeps on giving... This is why I was thinking it might be a good infill for Mr 4...

Are there any third party solutions that use the garage roller door light circuit to also power up the bollard lights? Ideally 240V, not really interested in going down the 12/24V /Raspberry Pi etc rabbit hole.

The driveway is quite long. First issue is the remotes don’t work until you’re about 20m past the kerb. But it would be nice to find a fix that boosted the controller signal at the front boundary, and also powered up the bollard lighting when either door operated. The approx 3 minute hold on the garage door light circuit would also serve well on departure.

I realise another solution might be an IR beam or heavily shuttered PIR sensor at the driveway entrance, in parallel with an existing one at the house (which presently just operates a couple of floods).
