I have a smart relay module that does this. On my garage doors, at certain times of the year, during the afternoon, the sun shines into the lens of the sensor and you have to hold the button to close the door. I have the four relay version. I wired each door to 2 relays. One is programmed for a regular one-second press, the other is a 16 second press (the amount of time it takes my door to close.) I can use the secondary relay when needed, and not have to stand there holding the button. Does this bypass some safety…. Yes. But if the close force on your opener is set appropriately, the risk should be minimal. This is the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1ZX1BVM
