Shelly Plus 1: How to make your electric gate SMART, via WIFI control!

[@zimi14]

Thank you your video! The 0.5 timer setup was very helpful, fixed my problem. :)

[@recanything]

You're welcome!

[@Alen.88]

Thank you. You covered most information that others didnt.

[@recanything]

You're welcome! I hope it works well for you!

[@mrSabic]

Nice project! The BFT motor has an 24V DC output (pins 50-, 51+), I would connect the shelly that way, it's safer than playing with the mains and you could probably tap the ground signal from the gates limit switch and connect it to Shellys SW input, to read the gates status.

[@chicolate_chan]

U know which port is limit switch

[@mrSabic]

@@chicolate_chan dosent work unfortunately, limit switch is on 41,42,43 but no ground. Maybe someone more skilled could wire some type of relay or diode between the pins and the shellys sw input... The 24v output works with the shelly, already tested. P. S. You can alway wire in an cheap magnet switch to read the status.

[@djkdawg]

thank you, the app configuration you showed fixed my issue

[@recanything]

Happy to help

[@oaklejant]

Great video, however I miss how to add a reed sensor in order to confirm that the gate is closed. Please add it.

[@pmanija]

Literally took 15 min to setup everything (as long as you have same BFT and you bough same Shelly Plus 1 model). GSM modem (BFT does not have WiFi only) costs - 100€, Shelly ~20€). And arguably you have more control options for automation

[@recanything]

Thanks!

[@modelSUB]

Hello and very good video! Please can you tell me if I only can connect the Shelly by bluetooth to my sliding gate motor? I have a router but no WiFi Internet connection in my house yet so I wish use the Shelly to make the same functions of a remote control but using my smartphone and the App to open the door. Many Thanks and cheers from Spain!

[@Kurmus]

Hello! I connected the Deimos 600 to the Shelly 1 Plus. Everything works, but the original gate remote loses signal. Where to find fault? I connected everything after this video. Please help! 😶

[@antonyballesteros7136]

Great video, thank you! I followed the instructions exactly but the switch only operates the gate one way, it will not interrupt operation midway and it will not close the gate once it is full open. Any ideas please?

[@antonyballesteros7136]

I fixed my own problem - anyone experiencing the same thing, turn dip switch 1 to the off position.

[@rain8184]

Thanks a lot. I was able to use your tutorial to get King Gates Dynamos model working with Shelly Mini (the blue one). Cheers.

[@recanything]

Glad it helped

[@paulthompson7228]

Good job mate, youre a legend.

[@recanything]

Much appreciated

[@mikulamali8833]

Since you are tapping into the mains, I assume this can be also done with Shelly 1 Mini Gen3??

[@massimoresnati]

hello, thanks for your video. I already have a smart switch for opening the gate and for other basic functions at home. I would like to change everything with Shelly, they seem more reliable and have a nicer user interface. In the video I can't understand if when the gate is open the system warns you that it is open and after it is closed if it warns you that it is closed. I also wanted to ask for your help in understanding whether in a circuit for switching on lights there is the possibility, with the Shellys, to insert buttons and switches in the same circuit? I know that Shellys work with both buttons and switches, but I don't know if I should use just buttons or just switches. Thanks for your help.

[@DanielSoanca]

Salut, pe cele doua fire de iesire conectate la 60 si 61 exista vreun curent/tensiune sau este doar releu care inchide si deschide ?

[@tomaszgawron5462]

Hi, Great tutorial mate. Could you please tell me if it’s also possible with Came engine? Thank you.

[@josecarlosdelacal5806]

Hello, I have mounted the same one on a CAME motor, but I cannot make the door stop before reaching the end of the stroke. If I press the button again and it closes, when I press it again it changes and opens the door!! but it doesn't stop it, tell me what am I doing wrong? please . all the best

[@DaniPitu05]

Dacă nu apeși a doua oară pe buton, mai funcționează auto închiderea? Sau odată instalat modulul, închiderea se face doar Manual?

[@cristoforopontikas]

what is going to happen if you leave on 60sec the Auto off mode?

[@pepaonline]

How to connect under the switch on the garage door which only has phase earth and zero?

[@yahya_ahmed14]

I also want to make my gate smart. I have a push button in my living room from where I control my gate. Can I use the Mini Smart Switch there to make it smart?

[@federicoorrantia842]

Hi! I do have de same BFT motor model (Deimos BT A400) but mine says 110 - 120V... and yours is 220-230V. Im very bad with electrical job so need help knowing where should I connect the wires. I was gonna copy 1:1 the way you di it in the video but not sure if im gonna mess up something.. Please help with that. BTW great video!! Cheers!

[@RP-sv5tu]

Hi, do you know how to check the status of the gate (open/close)?

[@recanything]

Not possible with this device

[@ConstantinYou-op8jj]

C'est trop bien votre vidéo c'est trop cool je m'appelle Constantin merci beaucoup ❤

[@recanything]

You're welcome

[@teohojda3477]

Salut. Dacă am conectat încă un întrerupător cu fir pe canalele 60 61 este vreo problemă?

[@zsolts.channel]

Multumesc petru video :D

[@Felix7_SKZ]

I have configured the device with the same setup in the app. But i seem to have to press the button twice for each open and close of the gate. Anyone got any idea? Tia

[@piseicocosomsistema]

So the power input is 220v but the control to give signal do open or close is 24v?

[@robertsvidz9141]

No, you don’t need voltage to give the signal. All you need to do is connect/bridge the pins together. For instance pin 2 and pin 7. Connect them by 1 wire, and the signal to open/close/stop/close is given. I made the mistake to put voltage on those pins. Had to buy a new controlboard :)

[@CANCHOLA05]

what type of wire and wire size?

[@anyacori2898]

Thanks for the video 💖

[@recanything]

You’re welcome 😊

[@steve-l6h7v]

my friend very nice just 4 wire.

[@facatube]

hi, good vid this is what I´m going to install in my house. One question it´s there the possibility to add a widget to on/off management

[@recanything]

Yes, on Android, you can add a widget on the homescreen.

[@RazvanRaul2]

@recanything Salut. Ar trebui sa mearga exact la fel si cu un Sonoff Basic? Sa ii pun inching la 0.5 sec? Pare ca da 220v cand porneste, e ok pentru bornele 60 si 61? Thanks!

[@recanything]

Sonoff-ul trebuie modificat ca sa mearga, si e complicat. Plus ca nu e asa trainic ca si Shelly (mi-a murit un Sonoff anul trecut la -5 grade). Shelly Plus 1 are si dry contact, deci chiar e recomandat pentru poarta.

[@RazvanRaul2]

@@recanything Mersi mult. Am inteles cum ar trebui sa mearga. Orice dry contact pe bornele 60 si 61 si e ca butonul de la telecomanda. Am sa incerc cu un Sonoff Mini R2 ca am vazut ca e mai usor de modificat si mai revin cu detalii daca a rezistat sau nu. Am multe sonoff-uri si nu as mai vrea inca o aplicatie si pentru asta. Thx inca o data!

[@Trading-oz3ot]

what if you now use the RF remote? Does Shelly still know the new position?

[@recanything]

Yes, it does! You can use the RF remote without a problem!

[@andreasschulz3063]

@@recanything sure? Shelly does not know the position. It gives only the signal to change the status (if closed, then open / opened, then close).

[@p0t3st0t92]

Does your phone have to be connected to the home wifi or you can do it using mobile data since shelly by itself is connected to your home wifi? Thanks

[@recanything]

Once you set it up, you can control it from anywhere in the world

[@9evoluzione]

HI! so you configured it with bluetooth and then it works on wifi, right? thanks if you answer me!!!

[@recanything]

Yes, this is how it works!

[@AndrejFiser-m3o]

What about winter? Is Shelly plus 1 survive winter (-10 degrees)?

[@recanything]

I don't know yet. For the momment it survived -5.

[@eafjjksdmz]

Can this be used also with a shelly 2.5 please ?

[@recanything]

No

[@alkaabi95]

Does this small device fit inside the box of motor?

[@recanything]

Yes it does!

[@joachimcilliers]

excellent!

[@recanything]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@mitikumitiku4442]

Why you made the 0,5 s timer setup instead to setup the Shelly as a toggle?

[@recanything]

Because I just need a short electric impulse to open/close the gate, so if I want it to act like the remote control, this is what I needed to do

[@mitikumitiku4442]

@@recanything shelly can do that you can change switch to toggle (impulse)

[@recanything]

@mitikumitiku4442 I know, but for some reasons, sometimes the gate don't take the command. That's why I decided to make it work this way.

[@mitikumitiku4442]

@@recanything Okay! I see it works well. I use the timer to switch on the warmwater circulation pump for 5 minutes. Funny to activate by Alexa.

How to know the status of opening and closing gate status

[@recanything]

This device won't tell you the status in this use case.
