Martin Schou Just so you know, this works just fine without IFTTT.. sure you can tell Alexa to open/close your garage or use location based. However, there is an app and it’s 100% FREE and works over the internet.. So you can open and close the Chamberlain garage door anywhere in the world. Tho IFTTT would be nice if it wasn’t behind a paywall, it isn’t a huge deal breaker. Plus, I think some people have found ways around it.

I agree with mastavagasa even though these parts cost like $90 the single chamberlain garage door opener will be over $100 plus monthly fee. Also adding in a relay is so much better aside then replacing the whole drive motor and possibly the chain. Unless those units were on their way out, I would keep them, new openers have way too many plastic gears (probably for safety) I had one that stripped itself because it kept going after it was fully open for no reason, I had to pull the plug. The main gear was stripped (it was only plastic gear in there) and even though I could pull it out, I contacted the company and was quoted “no serviceable parts inside drive unit” and couldn’t find the gear anywhere online. So it was junked 🙁

Most apps that it works with are free.

I think it meant the company pays a subscription for ifttt which is an easier way to link devices over the Internet" but its not charged to the customer. I think it might be because anything used by a company has to be licensed. Like notice media software has business and personal licenses. And some have said this license is for home use only.

[@ow_will]

@@s14theron if the circuit is NO normally open then neither of the two are live because live is cut off at the switch and y do you think power can go when the switch is open

[@AceBoy2099]

Yes no is normally open (circuit not connected at rest *no power*), and nc is normally closed (circuit connected at rest *no power*) c is common, think pc power switch it's a no circuit when you press the button it closes the contacts and turns on the pc. In this case you connect 2 wires between c and no, the relays then switch it to closed to close/open the garage door. I did this a while ago by modding a remote to connect to the board. It's now sitting in a static bag on the outlet box with an ac adapter coming out to plug in the wall outlet. No connection to the door opener itself. FYI, if you have a opener that uses rolling codes and not a wall switch like the ones he has it won't work, you have to do it like the way I did because the pcb units only connect wires together not broadcast rolling codes to open/close the door. There's another video where a guy did this exact thing with his front gate to his house, that's how I did mine.

[@ibrigs19]

As a professional, you really need to have entrapment sensors on any door that can be operated from offsite. This is super unsafe. This is my full time job. The leaking is a blown capacitor, should be replaced asap and the fluid is toxic.

[@wilson8468]

Just about to point that out! Good one sir!

[@lightninguitarsolo]

isnt the safety sensetivity the failsafe for that? like the opener is supposed to shut down if it senses too much resistance? im not disagreeing that a beam would be a good idea, im just saying its not like he just has the beam terminals wired together.

[@ibrigs19]

@@lightninguitarsolo as old as those ops are I wouldn't trust just the force setting. Plus who knows if it's even set correctly to begin with. Many homeowners just crank it to max without understanding what they're doing.

[@wilson8468]

Also with the force setting set to max and no eyes, you run the risk of a cable coming off one of the drums and having a door hanging side ways basically, because if an obstruction occurred, the opener would continue to close/open. He definitely should have installed the Chamberlain opener. The myq stuff is a perk. He could have even gone with buying a cheaper opener and installing an after market security system which is super easy to install. Plus you get a warranty.

[@lightninguitarsolo]

I install the linear switches on openers all the time and the chamberlin openers went all "apple" and made their circuits digital, so they are pretty much the only ones that dont work with them.

I bought one of these wifi relays and used an old power supply that we all have lying around and got a internet-enabled garage door for $15, and it came with an extra RF remote to boot. It doesn't get much easier or cheaper than that unless you opt for the $12 model that doesn't come with a nifty enclosure and RF remote. I don't really see how Patrick's solution is better.

@@MrStrizver No one said the word cheaper. Better? Yes. Cheaper? Not the initial investment maybe. However, once you get Home Assistant running, adding on additional automation devices to it is super easy. Met anyone, who got into home automation, and only connected their garage door to the internet? Doubtful. Idea is that, once your HA is running, it is cheaper to add on additional IoT devices to it than anything else I know. P.S. Yes, run HA on a 3 B+

[@dragoro3033]

Nc stands for no connection.... sssuuuurrreee. in a relay.... that is about switches and on and off... Made me laugh. NC means normally closed for those that don't know. there are 3 ports, and can power one or the other port depending on whats wired into it. NO is normally open and is the switches default circuitry path, you would leave this unconnected if you wanted just an on off swith, because you don't need something constantly powered

You could have just used a raspberry pi and unlocked it via your phone!

[@FunctionalHacker]

Raspberry Pi is already $35 and it doesn't have any relays, so you would have to DIY that. On top of that you would have to code a program that handle's the connectivity between the phone and the Pi. Honestly, I would've went with a cheap Sonoff switch, flash a custom firmware with MQTT support and connect that to my home automation server

[@SahilP2648]

@@FunctionalHacker you will need some attachment to interface it to the garage door mechanism and write code for both the pi and phone, but if you do that correctly, that system becomes so versatile that you could unlock your garage over the internet (not just LAN) if you want to. I think doing it with the pi is far cleaner and safer.

[@FunctionalHacker]

@@SahilP2648 I understand what you are getting at, but I would say using an ARM based computer to just push a button is a total overkill. Something like a Sonoff basic would be much better suited. It's arduino based, so you can flash whatever firmware you want, or you can use the stock firmware with the sonoff cloud. Best thing is, it's only $4.50 www.ebay.com/itm/Sonoff-Basic-Smart-Home-WiFi-Wireless-Switch-Module-For-IOS-Android-APP-Ctrl/323409941713?hash=item4b4cbc14d1:g:p9EAAOSwMxtbLNX5:rk:1:pf:0

Just so everyone knows, the Chamberlain works just fine without IFTTT.. Sure you can’t tell Alexa to open/close your garage or use location based. However, there is an app and it’s 100% FREE and works over the internet.. So you can open and close the Chamberlain garage door anywhere in the world. Tho IFTTT would be nice if it wasn’t behind a paywall, it isn’t a huge deal breaker. Plus, I think some people have found ways around it.

[@andykillsu]

I own the opener and use IFTT a lot and I have never thought of using IFTT with my door, I am not even sure what you would want to do it with IFTT.

[@andrewober]

I just installed this same model last month. 3/4hp belt drive. I wanted IFTTT for using with an echo. But I'm not gonna pay for it. It's bullshit that Linus didn't mention that the app to control the door is FREE, and you don't have to be on your own wifi network to use it. But that's LTT for ya.

[@fiorbeth2662]

@@andykillsu Assuming you mean why you would want to do it with IFTTT, get google assistant, siri, or Alexa on your phone and have them wake on a wake word. Then tell them to open the garage door, that way it is entirely hands free. Even potentially the way Linus has it ATM you would need to stop in your driveway get out your phone navigate to the app and tell it to open. With full IFTTT through a smart assistant you could just have the door open by time your car pulls into the driveway.
