A powered garage door pivots about a fixed pivot axis extending between side edges beneath the top edge of the door panel, such that when moving from the closed position to an opened position the top edge moves rearwardly while the bottom edge moves forwardly. A front top header finishing plate is fixed so as to extend downwardly from the header in front of and beneath the top edge of the door panel. An inclinometer sensor is secured to the door panel, sensing the angle of the door panel as it pivots between closed and opened positions. Hydraulic cylinders, which can be housed within uprights defining the door opening, are controlled by the electronic controller based on the inclinometer signal, and a graphical user interface allows the user to set both zone sizes (based on inclination angle) and zone speeds, independently for opening and closing.
