@Pauldy still mucking with the setup for something that should be simple like you said. Either I am missing something, or my boards are not working. Below is what I have tried already in case someone comes across this thread for getting SBC.
I have 3 ratgdo purchased for 3 different dates. 2xLA500 dual arms, and 1xLA400, single arm.
I installed two of them, and one I am using for bench testing to figure it all out.
Trying to reverse engineer some of the wiring diagrams to understand them. In my opinion they are not clear. I contacted the seller by email, no response.
First on the black wire connector:
The black wire connector is labeled trigger. If I ground the pins labeled Open and Close, I see the HA status in the diagnostics section. These work also on my 2 installed ratgdo.

I also grounded the wire labeled Light, and I see the diagnostics input in HA turn on. So the light input works also. In fact, when I grounded the light wire, I can see the Diag Light turn on, AND the Controls section Light come on. So this logic works and confirmed.
What is left is to figure out what triggers the button control and associated info. I am not sure if I am missing the detailed documentation anywhere. If I am, please someone point it out.
So the large Blue connector, where it says Wall mounted button; if I connect the two inputs (to simulate a momentary button press on the wall), I do not see anything change. The diagnostic input does not change states (I expect it to if this is supposed to be the input to the ratgdo).
I am also trying to figure out which two outputs short when the Toggle door control is pressed in HA. I assume this is what emulates the wall button press. Again an assumption from my side.
So the questions remains:
- What is the wall button input to the ratgdo board?
- What is the SBC output from ratgdo to go to the SBC input of my control board?
- What is the Lock remotes control do? What signals on the ratgdo board does it control? Is this for an aux gate lock that connects to the actual gate controller?
- What are the other signals and how are they used?
Again, if there is a place where all this is documented, I would love to get the link so I can fully utilize the ratgdo module.
