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.

You want to look for a "dry contact relay" that works with what you have. I got one for Zigbee because I have home assistant with zigbee. This will work in your existing system or in an app or whatever.
