Answer:
YoLink garage door kit like most garage door controllers on the market, is suitable for most old and some newer garage door openers. You can use a metal jumper to temporarily short the two terminals which are connected to your garage door operator button. It this triggers the opening/closing/resolving of the garage door, it will work; otherwise, it will not.
YoLink garage door kit has the longest wireless coverage and also comes with the garage door sensor compared with other brands of garage door controllers.
If YoLink garage door kit does not work with your garage door opener, we recommend that you use YoLink Garage Door Kit 2.
YoLink garage door kit 2 – the finger kit is 100% compatible with all garage door openers. It uses a motorized finger to actuate the garage door operator button. It is battery powered and does not require wires or installation tools.
Answer:
YoLink garage door kit is not compatible with your door motors. YoLink garage door kit 2 including YoLink Finger and Garage Door Sensor 2 may be compatible with your roll-up door motors.
The YoLink Finger presses the wall button, garage door opener, remote control or garage door panel. If you use YoLink Finger for this operation, there should be no problem. We have recorded a video, you can visit https://youtu.be/A4BZUX2VA0c

Some notes about using Garage Door Sensor and Garage Door Controller on Alexa-
1, when Garage Door Sensor is bound to Garage Door Controller, there will be two devices on Alexa app. Alexa refers to opening or closing a garage door as “unlocking/locking”. As for Garage Door Controller, you can use Voice Control to lock or unlock; or create routines to lock.
As for the garage door sensor, you can create routines to get voice announcements through Alexa app; use Alexa to check its status.
Please note, Garage Door Controller is supported to create Routines for Locking the device only, unlocking is not supported, for security reason.
2, About Discover device, only when the garage door sensor is bound to Garage Door Controller before adding to Alexa app, the Garage Door Sensor and Garage Door Controller will both work with Alexa.
If the Garage Door Sensor is not bound to Garage Door Controller before adding to Alexa app, only Garage Door Sensor will work with Alexa. You can bind the garage door sensor and garage door controller in the YoLink app, then use Alexa to discover devices or re-link the YoLink app account to Alexa.
For the best user experience, we recommend using Groups on you Alexa device to manage your devices.
