If you have a Genie garage door opener, and the “Aladdin Connect” app connected, it does exactly what you describe if you open the door via the app. Basically you press the button in the app, then the garage door starts beeping and flashing the lights, and then what seems like a few seconds later the door will start opening.

I am in the process of replacing all my switches just like that with occupancy sensors in my fans that automatically run for 20 min any time someone enters the room.

The trick is I now have holes in my wall to patch / cover.
