Thanks for the great video. When I add the cover template to the YAML code, I get this output: [covers] is an invalid option for [cover.template]. Do you have any ideas how to fix this?

@SpeakToTheGeekTech 6 месяцев назад

I have just double checked the code on my web site against the code I'm using in real life and they are the same, so I know what I've provided works. I can only assume you have an indentation error or a typo in the config. You've had to edit my config to change the entity IDs in five places so I'd suggest looking there to start with.

@hommel90 4 месяца назад

you can use also a button output: - platform: gpio pin: GPIO16 id: output1 inverted: True button: - platform: output name: "Garage" output: output1 duration: 1000ms

To control a relay or to directly connect the ESP module to the button terminals on the garage door opener? If the latter, I was nervous about recommending anyone directly connect the ESP to the garage door controller because you never know if some brands push voltage through them or not. I figured the volt-free contact from a relay was the safest way to do it.

@johnadams1976 4 месяца назад

great video - thanks.... Think I'm going to try this, rather than buying a shelly device... Is there a PoE version, rather than USB?

@SpeakToTheGeekTech 4 месяца назад

Not that I know of but check the manufacturer's web site

@johnadams1976 4 месяца назад

@@SpeakToTheGeekTech I guess I could just use a PoE-to-USB adapter and power the board you used with that. Cheaper too... otherwise it looks like it's an Olimex board but that's much more expensive. Need cheap! ;-)

@@SpeakToTheGeekTech tried it out with a ESP8266 and relay and it worked. Nice and simple solution. with a D1 mini sitting there operating the relay, is there a reliable temperature sensor that could attach to different pins to the same D1 mini, which could then appear as a 2nd entity?

@TwanJaarsveld1 Год назад

Amazing and clear instructions, I'm looking to build a automatic gate and want to integrate it into home assistant, would this work for a automatic gate opener ?

@SpeakToTheGeekTech Год назад

If your gate opener supports a volt-free contact switch then yes but you’ll need to check the gate controller and its manual to be sure.

I am planning to go the route of using a reed switch. Would you possibly be able to provide the esphome configuration changes required to get that functioning? Also do you have any pin recommendations for attaching the reed switch to the esp? Thank you.

@SpeakToTheGeekTech 11 месяцев назад

Without building that up myself I couldn’t advise, but start with Google - it looks like there are a lot of people out there who have done this on ESPHome before

@PinkBucket33 5 месяцев назад

I have just finished building one with a magnetic reed switch connected to pin D5. This is the extra configuration I added to the ESPHome code - platform: gpio pin: number: GPIO12 mode: INPUT_PULLUP name: "garage_door_open" id: garage_door_open filters: - delayed_on_off: 1000ms device_class: Garage door

@ericilkwatson5557 8 месяцев назад

But how do you connect that magnetic switch?

@SpeakToTheGeekTech 8 месяцев назад

Have a search for ESPHome reed sensor. I don’t have any tutorials covering it myself sorry

@jimlea7935 9 месяцев назад

What would happen if I send 12v to pins 10 and 11?

@SpeakToTheGeekTech 9 месяцев назад

I dunno but I'm not willing to try it out myself for you to find out! They're rated volt-free so designed to have a switch connected to them (or volt-free relay as in this case) so the controller really won't be expecting an external voltage to be added to its circuit.

@jimlea7935 9 месяцев назад

ok thanks for the reply, it will only be 12v momentarily so hopefully won't cause any issues. I'm turning on a smart plug from my phone and a 12v power supply will be plugged in so I was wondering if I could simply connect it to the Somfy unit. The plug will be turned off automatically after 5 seconds. I did wonder if I could just use a 12V relay and rather than use the relay to supply power, I could just use it to give continuity between two wires sort of thing.

@SpeakToTheGeekTech 9 месяцев назад

Those pins are not designed for voltage, don’t do it!

@LuminarySpeshal Год назад

Did you stick those components in with Chewing gum?! :D

@SpeakToTheGeekTech Год назад

You're not too far wrong actually: Blu Tack! Just temporarily until I was certain it worked. Now they're secured with 3M pads.

@thefirst555 11 месяцев назад

I'm using a £5 5v-24v single channel tuya zigbee relay board (Sorry no ESPHome here !) on the same somfy controller and powered via the 24v feed within the somfy on pins 14 and 15. The whole lot is inside the original somfy case. also using the same smarthings contact sensor which also exposes when its in motion to Home Assistant which is a nice little extra bit of feedback to confim its working. Been working flawlessly for at least a year.

@SpeakToTheGeekTech 11 месяцев назад

Sounds nice and neat. There is plenty of space inside that Somfy controller but I decided to house mine externally to make it easier to tweak if there was an issue. As it happens there have been no reasons to tweak! I hadn't thought of using the motion sensor as part of the automation, I'll give that some thought.
