Yeah it’s weird. Autoslide have gone quiet on official integration. But it works great with a ratgdo wired into the indoor press cable. So it’s always locked. I added two hue buttons inside and outside and now ha manages access. Slide is always in secure mode.
I am trying to get the autodrive working with RS485.
Joel, did you ever get it working? It’s proving to be a bit painful for me. I cannot get it to respond.
Yeah it works with a ratgdo for me. How have you got it wired ? What is your controller ?
For anyone interested, I just got my autoslide automated via rs485.
I’m using this device for the rs485 interface and relay. I loaded esphome, with this config.
Unfortunately, the modbus doesn’t work at all on autoslide board 3.9. I happened to have an older 3.2 board where it does work. Reading the mode and triggering the door in different modes works, but writing the mode doesn’t. I soldered the relay to the mode set button, and included in the esphome config to calculate how many button presses between the read mode and the desired mode.
thank you for sharing! Much cleaner than sending the mode change over IR like i do. I use node red to cycle as i can tell which mode if door opens . i keep it in lock mode all the itme and have zigbee button as above.
ill have to look into this solution if i have an older board.
