Hi all
I really like to make my garag doors smart in HA.
But im so confused about the wiring part.
First some links
Garage door control – The unofficial Shelly guide!
Shelly 1 Gen4
Facebook
But im getting diffrent wiring discriptions?
and
I think i want to power the Shelly from 24v DC from Marantec.
But why does the diagram shows 2 wirings to GND?
Chatgpt has helped me (Sorry it messed with the “æ” )
So now i just cant get my head around where the wires should go?
Can somebodu help? Thanks!
Have you looked ORDER | ratgdo ?
No idea if it is compatible with your opener. But worth a look.

Normally garage doors gets triggered by short connection of GND and “pulse”
Terminal 2 (impulse) should go to shelly O
GND should go to shelly I (jumper from L)
Nothing to shelly SW
You can test it before (without Shelly) just with piece of wire, connect terminal 1 briefly to terminal2 and door should open/close.
1 = GND
3 = +24V
Door movement is by shorting GND and IMPULSE, so 1-2

And be aware that you are very close to the 50mA limit of your 24V supply.
If you have any hiccups, power it from mains.

Hmmm after looking again are we sure? Will it not sendt 230 V into the Marantec? Damn it is confusing

Shelly 1 has dry contact output. It’s not sending anything, just connecting I to O.
If you feel uncomfortable with mains powered device, stay with 24V.

I think it is better with 230v
But im just confused about there marking about 240v here?

It’s the rating of that relay, max 16A / 240VAC or max 10A / 30VDC.

Hello! I have the exact same garage door. How did this work out for you? And how did you fix power?

HI Sigvah
It is working perfect!
Just 230V from the same outlet as the Marantec and from the impuls to Shelly.

Hi @DanielPT , additional question
not sure you can help me out. I got the same Marantec and the same Shelly. It’s working indeed as it should now. However, the dooropener has two different options, or fully opened or partly, when you need to use your bike for example.
Do you also use it on both ways, or only door fully opened? I am trying to find out how and if it is also possible to have Shelly open the door only partly.
