Thank you for these tutorials. I've built 1 board so far and have 2 to go. I flashed it with the 2.0 scheme. I tried the 2.5 later and that didn't work. I'm thinking it's because I use the esp8266 chip and the 2.5 boards don't seem to use that chip. I also didn't change the D1 port. I don't use Home Assistant, but I do have OpenHab installed and have quite a few smart items controlled, and OpenHab recently mad a binding available to connect to ESPHome items using the native API. I also installed the ESPHome python project on a raspberry pi 4. It has the same dashboard interface to access the ESPHome device yaml. That interface looks like the one you show in Home Assistant. This was a fun project and I'm glad to get rid of MyQ.

Would it be possible to connect 2 garage door openers to 1 D1 or would I need 1 of these for each door?
@thedaddyshow016 ай бұрын
It is theoretically possible, I think. I don’t really know but I think you would have to fork the ratgdo github and adjust the python programming to accommodate a second door and then adjust the yaml code in ESPHome to point to the pinout you choose for the second door as well as your GitHub repository of the forked ratgdo. As for the circuit board: If you wanted to add the second door on the same circuit as the first door while utilizing a different pin a couple diodes would have to be added between the pinouts in the esp8266 and the transistors and then the proper circuitry would have to be soldered in or created on a pcb board. So I think it is doable, but I truly don’t know for sure. I haven’t looked into that as I haven’t needed it. That is an excellent thought though!!

Hello...I think I have made these correctly. When I connect them to my GDO Liftmaster with yellow learn button...the obstruction sensors go dark. I assume red wire to red terminal, white ground to black terminal, and black data to one of the two remaining white terms. Flashed with 2.0 and 2.5 no luck. ESPHome sees and communicates. Just no GD movement. Any ideas?
@thedaddyshow018 ай бұрын
The way I made mine is the red wire to red (the input into one side (drain) of one transistor and also into the ground (center) of the other transistor). The black wire goes to black which is wired through a resistor to pin 7 on the esp8266. The white wire goes to white and is the ground. The black wire on the GDO is the data from your obstruction sensors and needs to go through a resistor to pin 7 with another resistor between pin 7 and the first resistor returning to ground.
@booman20001238 ай бұрын
What I don't understand is why the obstruction sensors go off? The Paul Wieland RATGDO does not do this. There appears to be extra chips on the board purchased from him. Wondering if yours doesn't have all the needed chips?

So I followed this video and replaced my starter flawlessly. Very well done video. I just have a question about "This little guy" at 3:14. I know that's the ground wire and when I was taking it out the first time, I broke off a little bit of the clip, it still goes in but easy to pull out. Anyway, replaced my starter, drove for two days, dead again. Noticed "That little guy" was already out when I started investigating. Is that actually important for the ground wire to function or is it just there to help hold it in place and offers no real value?
@thedaddyshow018 ай бұрын
That clip shouldn’t be important for the ground wire to function if your ground wire is in good shape and where it connects to the battery and Car are good connections. I have had to replace the entire fuse block that attaches to the top of the battery once already. You may check that setup to see if it is in need of repair or replacement. Also make sure you don’t have any corrosion in your battery terminals, relays, or wires at the starter.

It looks like you are using mqtt or tasmota on the shelly1 device. I tried mqtt a few years ago and was disappointed with the stability. It also takes a lot of steps to setup. Now, all my Shelly devices are auto detected by “Shelly for hass” integration. I find this to be stable and no issues at all. And it means I don’t have to flash anything as I’m using the vendor firmware. It’s not clear to me what benefit there can be for other firmware since the original is working perfectly for me. And I’ve got a lot of devices so quick setup is important.

There are a few things that can be added to the yaml to add additional support for more states. Your current design only has open and closed and these tie directly into the reed switch states. On my own design I implemented opening and closing states. These are derived by creating a moving binary sensor that goes true when button pressed and when timer expires goes to not moving. Then the states transition a few ways- when moving starts and was open becomes closing. When moving starts and was closed becomes opening. When timer expires the state becomes whatever the reed switch says. Now I can get a alert when fail to close because that’s simply a state change from closing to opened. Likewise I get alert for fail to open.

@@thedaddyshow01 when done correctly the icons automatically update for all 5 states. You can go from seeing the icon for a closed door to the up arrow icon indicating movement followed by an icon for an open door.

The extra states allow for more intelligence in the automations.

You are better off using a ratgdo, it hooks directly to the button terminal on the operator and speaks directly to the garage door controller. This means it know if the door is moving, and what position the door is in, so you can give it commands like open door to 20%. It also can control other functions of the door, such as the light, give you cycle counts and diagnostic information, and a ton more.
