Hi All, I am about to embark on a new mini-project having the aim of implementing a button within my OpenHab2 sitemap for controlling remotely my NICE SpA ROBO 500 Sliding Gate Opener ( RO500.Manual.pdf (917.6 KB)) I checked the user manual and I found the embedded ROA37 motherboard accepts a wired…

My friend who build such gates says that in the menu of the gate controller there is a function to ignore incoming commands while the gate is openning. So the solution is not to change the sketch but to change the configuration of the gate controller. You have to check the manual for the Robus 500 …

You might be able to use the Garadget , which lets you work like a momentary contact button, but also measures whether the door/gate is open or closed using reflected laser light. There is a binding for it. The product is also open source, so you could take the specs and firmware and build your own…

@Avner Yes it’s called “Apartment Block 2” or something like that. I tried that - it still didn’t work. BUT - I called the gates installer out, and he found a problem with a sensor that was interfering. So - it now works beautifully!

Reviving this topic since I just received my shopping list with the ESP8266s More news soon. I will write up a full manual on how to solve this case later on :slight_smile:

Please post the writeup as a new topic in Examples and link to it from here. It will be easier to find that way.

I just got a NICE 400 in India. My installer wired up a CAT6 and left it for me to hook up my ESP8266 with individual functions to open,close and hold. I’m having some trouble getting things to work though.. What relays did you use, and would you be open to sharing your sketch please? Thanks!!

Hi @gopi_ar , I just started this project. I haven’t configured anything yet. I will record every step (with instructions and pictures) for this deployment and I will share it in this community. Stay tuned :slight_smile: This is what I will be using (see also post above with links) [image] …

Hey @Dim I got this to work with: Relay switch (instructions on working with the relay here ). Relay switch from here Nodemcu + ESP8266 (flashed with Arduino) Cat6 using 2 pairs from the Robus for Open and Close functions. If you close the loop in the Relay switch, the command should work. I use…

[image] gopi_ar: Cat6 using 2 pairs from the Robus for Open and Close functions. Hi @gopi_ar , Nice! I am configuring now my Wemos D1 mini (ESP8266) to connect to my MQTT Broker (Mosquitto) to publish and subscribe to messages. In this way, I will use MQTT to integrate it to OpenHab2. You w…

Hey guys, sorry for the slow response… This is my arduino scrip below that I have loaded on a Wemos D1 Mini which has the relay shield that they also sell. This uses the “Homie” firmware which you can find by searching these forums. It takes care of the wifi and MQTT stuff nicely. My gate has 2 te…

Use the expire binding, that’s what I used and it’s working perfectly.

Take a look at my example
