Curious about this. New house has this old drive system and it seems so old that I can't even sync a universal clicker to it.

Any recommendation for some add-on that can make it smart?

Ideally, I would like something I can just plug/wire into the existing drive motor that will allow me to connect to wifi and/or do an exterior keypad and/or get a universal clicker.

Ismartgate will do it. I have the older version, GoGoGate. Works well via its own app on smartphone/smart watch.

Personally use mine via HomeAssistant now but not essential by any means

Calling does really is send a pulse to your garage door opener like the wall mounted bell buttons did

yea, this is what I think I need...something that sends a wired signal like a wall-button.
