automatic garagedoor opener/closer

I would buy a garagedoor with a motorised system to open/close.
But I like to also see it in domoticz. At the sites of the doors I can't see protocols/frequenties.

does somebody have experiences or a dutch seller adress that have a system that is compatible?

Would this work with a system used for blinds?

Most doors can be operated using a KAKU ASUN650.

I'm using a very old Bosch system and have removed the 27MHz receiver 2 years ago since the transmitter was as big as a cigarette package :o
Most, maybe all garage door opener have an additional external potential free "input" for a separate switch. So I used a 433MHz remote switch from Intertechno whis an integrated timer (2sek).

Works great with a http://www.intertechno.at/produkte/empf ... -1000.html and those transmitters http://www.intertechno.at/produkte/send ... K-200.html or this http://www.intertechno.at/produkte/send ... TKL-2.html.

Finally 've installed additionally a second Raspy with Domoticz as a slave via power LAn connector. Via a relay connected on one GPIO pin via a simple transistor switch I can control the door opener now also from remote using also the external input.
Normally you need only a push button function for openening ans closing. So first push is "open", second push is "close",...

Hi,
Not quite... there is a safety feature.
First push is open. If you push again and the door is still moving then it stops. If you now push again it will go back to closing. I assume this logic is outside of your control so it should still work, but it does need checking from the safety point of view

You are right,...but I've pre-installed two connectors to my GPIO pins. Both are set to "IN" using wiringPi.
Next is to install 2 sensors (contacts) showing me the postion "Full yopen", "Fully closed" or "Partly Open".
Currently I try to show the position using the dimmer symbol but couldn't get it working until today. I'm trying to use the slider of the dimmer symbol...
If I couldn't get it to work I will use 2 separate "contact" symbols.

Currently I have not installed the contacts due to bad weather conditions :oops:

Hi. You can use an automation to remotely monitor whether your garage door is open or closed and to remotely operate the garage door opener.
