I solved your problem in my own application 3 different ways (I love redundancy, I love redundancy) that are completely different than the way you are looking to solve it. So I'm not going to answer your question, I'm going to answer mine and hope it applies to you.
My solution is on a Pi0W with a relay that shorts the switch on a hacked garage remote to open the door. This is also a single button trigger and I believe similar to your application. I heavily modified this solution to create a webpage that allow me to press a button on the screen to trigger the button.

Solution #1
I have a webcam set up in my garage pointing at the garage door. This in itself is a full solution because I can always just look at the feed to monitor the door. But that's not enough for me. The model camera I use:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004P8K24W/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It has a url which publishes a snapshot of what the camera sees. This url can be embedded in the "button web page" to publish an image of the garage on the same page as the button <img src="url" />. 1-stop convenience. To turn the snapshot into meta-video I refresh the page every 3 seconds <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3">. Essentially allowing me to press the button and watch the progress of the door. All in one place.
Solution #2:
I picked up one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006M1I1W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
and again heavily modified this guide:

To determine whether the door is open or closed.
I run the script at boot in a terminal window and a bonus effect is I can effectively log the door status.
I incorporated this into my webpage by using this:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=37&amp;t=58267
I added this code to the "open" condition to email me if the door is open:
http://naelshiab.com/tutorial-send-email-python/
My modifications basically pulled all this information together into my "button web site" Action, view, and response on the door. Basically they were cut and paste and mostly done in HTML.
Finally not sure how new you are to this but there are other factors to get this all to work:
OpenVPN - to hide everything behind my firewall and expose none of it to the internet. I vpn in and it's all as if I'm on my home network.
no-ip - dynamic dns so I can resolve my vpn to a name rather than an IP which periodically changes.

This would be the only thing that would have to be outside the rest could be inside
Those are called ‘tilt sensors ’
Another option is to use a simple contact but you’ll need a GPIO and that till drive up your costs

My comment was really targeted toward OpenHAB. If you're running Wink, I think you'd be better off getting one of these GoControl/Linear GD00Z-4 Z-Wave Garage Door Opener. Amazon reviews are pretty solid and Home Depot was selling them for use with Wink for a while. I believe it comes with a tilt sensor, which is probably easier to use than boogering a regular door sensor on like I did. Probably a solid bet. I would have bought one of these if OpenHAB supported the z-wave barrier class.
As far as the MIMOLite... I can't tell you for sure as I run OpenHAB, but it looks like it should work according to these links: post in reddit /r/homeautomation and Amazon review
I'm using a Go Control / Nortek Controls / Linear WADWAZ-1 to sense my garage door. I snagged one of the WNK01-21KIT kits from Home Depot on sale.
I've also got a Honeywell Ademco 958 overhead door contact on my other door that should work as the door contact listed in fortrezz's diagram linked in my previous comment, if you wanted to sort of wire it.
For Wink, by the time you buy both the mimolite and the door contact (wired or z-wave) you might as well just buy the go controls device and get the benefit of secured z-wave barrier class.
