Hello all
Next week my electrician will be replacing my automated gate control (with new lca 70 board). I will be adding a relolink video doorbell and a tuya keypad
The Tuya keypad will open the gate once code is entered fine
Has anyone created an automation to add a button to home assistant to be used when someone is at the gate and i get a notification i could then press a button to open the gate?
thank you in advance for any assistant
Hello william bravin,
Other than Tuya WIFI has many question marks, the rest seems OK.
Search the forum here for the Tuya tag and you will see.
Here’s a blueprint to take numbers from a keypad (or any 5 entity changes) and fire an input_boolean:
Hello @Sir_Goodenough
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I looked at this link and blueprint. In my case (i’m in no way savvy enough to undertake this)
I was hopping for something simpler example; notification causes gate switch to toggle.
I would then add a timer close the gate or a button that i can double tap to close the gate.
I will continue to play with this next week once all is installed
Once again thank you for this link
Well, it’s a blueprint.
It’s written for you.
You load the blueprint, then go to add a new automation using that blueprint. It asks for the entity for the 5 buttons you want to press. It asks for the input_boolean that you create to be toggled on and off by the keypad.
Then add a simple automation that triggers with that input_boolean and opens the gate or lock or whatever you want to do.
You can certainly write your own, but here it is done…
Hello again
Yes i do understand this. I will configure the Tuya Keypad with several codes to open the gate. This will work when i am outside of the gate.
My hope is to have a button within HA that i can activate to open the gate when i am inside the house or away (via my phone).
I may be thick as a brick (sorry) i can only see this blueprint as a tool to operate the gate from the tuya keypad. Which is what i doo not need. Am i missing the point?
Thank you for your guidace
