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.

Good job mate, youre a legend.

[@recanything]

Much appreciated

[@anyacori2898]

Thanks for the video 💖

You’re welcome 😊

[@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

[@djkdawg]

thank you, the app configuration you showed fixed my issue

[@recanything]

Happy to help

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!

[@user-uf1oz9bu4d]

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.

[@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!

[@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 ?

[@joseluisbranconunes]

Thanks man!

[@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!

[@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?

[@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! 😶

[@piseicocosomsistema]

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

[@user-tt6wk1mm7x]

my friend very nice just 4 wire.

[@oaklejant]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@teohojda3477]

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

[@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.

[@CANCHOLA05]

what type of wire and wire size?

[@user-yv4ho3cw1o]

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

[@recanything]

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

[@ConstantinYou-op8jj]

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

[@recanything]

You're welcome

[@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.

[@alkaabi95]

Does this small device fit inside the box of motor?

[@recanything]

Yes it does!
