I'm using m1rb to control my lawn sprinklers. What else can I control with this card?
Thanks in advance!

It will be fine, I am doing this as well. I believe in my case, I only measured 6VDC (and I'm sure that current requirements are very low), the relays are rated for much more.

What about the cat5e wire, it should be fine too right?
So is this rule going to work?
If time of day is 12am
and garage door output 114 state is ON
turn off garage door output 114 OFF

No. You would need a sensor on the door to tell if it is open or closed:
Whenever time of day is 12am
and garage door sensor (input 17) is not secure
then turn on garage door output for 1 second
The LED doesn't matter on the sensor, and I'm using Cat6 for mine so your cat5e should be fine. To test it, just take a small piece of wire and touch each end to each terminal. If the garage door activates, the N/O and COM will work just fine.
If you had a motion sensor in there, you could put it on a timer and do a rule where if the timer expires and the time is after 12am, then close the door. This way, if you were out in the garage working at 12am, it wouldn't close the door on you. If you're going to automate closing of the door, you should make sure you have an opener that has a beam and resistance sensor to minimize the chance that you'll crush something or someone.
I only close mine automatically when I arm on Night or Night Instant mode.
