Modify Sonoff Basic to open my garage door via Google Home

[@lucclaes6270]

Just put a extra relais (230 or 110V) at the output and you don't have to modify the Sonoff at all. The extra relais will work as a voltage free switch.

[@We-R-Racing]

Absolutely! I was just too lazy to figure out how to power it. Your solution will also work well if you wanted to switch a really high power consumption item like a geyser or something...

Sonoff input îs connect to 220 v and output to the motor? 😬

[@We-R-Racing]

Hey Robert. Thanks for the question. This is the reason I had to cut the circuit board. The 220v does not get relayed to the motor or switch. Instead, I short the relay for half a second to mimic pressing the push to make button.

Great thanks

So instead of doing modification on Basic model, does using the new R3 model solve our problem?

[@We-R-Racing]

Indeed. It wasn't available at the time of the video, plus I already bought 4 so I had them...

[@roshans4917]

@@We-R-Racing Thanks for your reply, and I have one more doubt. I heard that the Basic model is also having the inching mode with update of new version. Is that true?

[@We-R-Racing]

Yes it does. That is the function I use to "pulse" the switch. I also created a routine in Google that responds to "open the garage door" although it will open or close no matter if it is already open... it just activates the switch...

[@vjmilan8588]

Hi what was the mods? Do you need mods for R2, it has itching settings. T

[@We-R-Racing]

The only mod really is the circuit we cut, so that the relay became a pulse switch instead of switching through the power...
