Can you show a video how to connect a Shelly 1 to a gate remote? The standard gate remote we use in South Africa. Thank you 🙏

Hi, do you have a detailed video on the correct way to wire up the back up power supply, I have the IDS alarm and back up supply with 2 new batteries and it won't even last 4 hours, the alarm company says the back up is connected to the Beams only, so I don't understand how it's been wired.

Hi Ashton, did you manage to sort this out? I had a Sherlo Tronics 12V 6.4A backup battery connected and it does not last 2hours.

[@ashtonchetty4408]

Hi, it was the battery that was faulty, the lead acid battery is not meant for the loadshedding we get, even a new lead acid battery that is completely drained will never work properly again, I switched over to lithium 7ah batteries, they cost a bit more but last much longer in terms of age.

@@ashtonchetty4408 Thanks for replying. Only 3 months ago I had a 12V backup gel battery installed, but it keeps dying after about 90min of loadshedding. The battery definately does not charge. Thought I was a faulty installation.

@@Zee-z7m I did have a problem with the sherlo back up unit, the power supply was charging at a low voltage so it did not charge the battery enough, if you open it up you will see on the power supply a small plastic adjustment screw use a star screw driver and turn it clockwise if I'm not mistaken it will increase the voltage, mine wasnt adjusting so I bought a power supply from China mall, costed like R150, works perfectly now (note) it should charge over 14v mine was charging at 13v.

@@ashtonchetty4408 thanks Ashton, this is really good advice. I'm no electrician, but I knew something is not right. No instructions of this kind with the installation pamphlet. 🙁

Good morning, I have á doubt, yesterday when there was a power cut , the system of alarm was working with battery power then the battery ran out of power and the system turned off , but now that power is back , all the sensor and keypad are turned off, but the keypad lights up and then hang up soon , I ask you to help me what could this be.
