Hi, I’ve read a few posts here about controlling electric gates. This seems to be an area lagging behind the drive for automation in the home.
I have moved to a property that had auto gates which we are now replacing with a new automation system. From what I see, all the circuit board on the gates looks for is a pulse closing two contacts temporarily. Basically needing a switch to close for a second then open again.
The pulse tells the gates to start their open cycle, meaning they will open slowly to a pre programmed speed and distance. They will then wait for the pre-determined time, then run the closed cycle.
The question here is, is there a wireless device that when told to do so, closes a switch (that can pass 24v) then be told to open again (without having to do it manually).
I wrote the driver and tested on an actual device in a test harness. Disclosure: bleBox provided the device; however, all labor was provided free. I am not currently using this device.
I believe there may be other us-based solutions with drivers. So maybe more will reply. Search this forum for gate controller.
