I’ve got a GTO Pro 2000 gate that has been no functional for awhile that I’d like to get up and running and tied into HASS. The board, an AQ251 needs to be replaced, and I was researching options to get it zwave aware. The remote appears to be the same thing as a garage door transmitter, so would a zwave garage controller work in this case? Has anyone gotten this gate (or something similar) integrated?
Gate needs momentary switch.
I use raspberry pi connected to relay with ha installed. I connect to main ha instance using mqtt.
Esp8266 or sonoff switch may be better option but I just used what I had.
You need switch and sensor (detect open/close). I recommend camera and motion as well for visual verify open/close and detect arrivals.
Sonoff, esp8266 and pi all have ability for relay and sensor. You may also use separate items to accomplish this
My gate uses a two low voltage wires connected to a relay to the gpio on a pi with HA on it. When my house was build, they ran extra wires in the conduit to my gate right to my basement where my pi was. I would do as tmjpugh suggests, use a sonoff if you have wifi at the gate and don’t have wires running easily to a pi.
This is what I’ve found through some research that should do what I need. Just need to determine now if I can power it from the board or the battery, as I don’t have easy access to a recepticle in this area.
