On the first use I was like ; "what took me so long" 🤣

Easy?? Amaizing set up to get more comfortable. Nice carbon fiber on side bike.

Thanks, it's mostly easy on how ikea doesn't care about people hacking their products. Low cost and volume are key. The programming headers are even labelled on the boards 😎. Oh yes that carbon. Still need to reproduce the belly pan and then sand them all down and clear coat. I don't think I shared a video here yet about those. Will make something when I start on the belly 👍

I just found this video while trying to plan a very similar setup. Im curious if you can comment on how the zigbee connection has been with the button leaving and rejoining the network regularly? does it trigger ok when coming into the driveway? Thanks for the video!

Yes it worked flawlessly in my case. Worst case I would think a second press is needed. One to reconnect and the second one to give the actual command.

@@Hans2183 finished mine last Friday. taken a few rides already and it's been awesome. No issue with device coming back in range of the network, like you said. Unsoldered the reed switch from an aqara zigbee door sensor for mine. Thanks for paving the way
