Relais stays on
Posted: Monday 08 February 2016 11:12
I'm struggling for a long time now with a relais that opens my garage door.
Got it al set up with wiring pi and it actually it seems to work pretty well.
The only problem is that the relais is always turned on. So the normally closed is always open, and the normally open is always closed. So I can switch my relais to close to it connects my two wires, which triggers my door, but I have the feeling it's not right.
Because in this case I always have power running through my relais, and I don't think this is how it should be.
So I've put this line inside domoticz.sh:
usr/local/bin/gpio -g write 17 1
Which makes that the relais turns off when domoticz starts. But after I switch it with domoticz it changes back to 0 but it does not come back to it's 1 status.
Hope you understand my problem
