Today I got on the ladder and worked out my door sensor. The microswitch is mounted in the garage, and closes when the door closes.

I am using the NO (Normally Open) tab on the switch.

The microswitch is mounted to the frame of the garage door, and a tab is mounted over the switch. When the door is closed, the tab pushes down on the microswitch, and it closes.
