Not sure how possible or easy this would be. I have two garage doors as you have the app configured; however, they are in two separate locations, requiring the need for either:
-a lot of work and a long trace of wires across the house
OR, much more easily
-another raspberry pi running the second

Is there a way for a single pi to handle the two doors by performing some sort of call task to the alternate pi?

i.e.
Pi1- configured for garage door 1
Pi2- configured for garage door 2

Pi1 has ability to trigger garage door 2 by sending a remote request (and possibly even pull garage state from the pi)

I would imagine it would require either SSH or similar, but I'm relatively new to the raspberry pi/linux world.

  1. Put this software on both Pi's.
  2. Put OpenHAB on one of them.
  3. Use OpenHAB interface to make http calls to this software.
