I am trying to figure how to hook up my High Line 8 garagedoor opener with the very little information/diagram that was included as the manual.
I have a zigbee switch that I intended to use for it, but I am uncertain what ports to hook it into. The switch is currently programmed to send an impulse on/off. I have 230v available externally as the power source. There is 30 vdc available internally in the garagedoor opener, but the zigbee takes 110-230v ac.
If I connect a dead wire (no current, just a piece of wire) to port 1+2, the door open. But if I hook up the zigbee switch to those ports, it will send 230v through it. Maybe ports 2+3 should be used, but Liftmaster 772e sensor manual isnt totally clear what that actually does, I can just see that it is pictured in my openers manual.
Can any of you figure it out or have experience with the garagedoor opener?
You will need to tear apart the opener and find where motor relay is triggered. I think it may be just timed motor drive, so you’ll also need to add timer to trigger the stop and start points. Basically I don’t believe it will be simple
I really encourage ratgdo. I’m zwave fan and avoided this for several years and only recently installed mine. it is MUCH better than anything I could have come up with. I feel it is the best option for covers.
I am against WiFi IOT devices but this one is exceptional. I use esphome software for it. Also my IOT WiFi devices are isolated from internet so only my HA server is able to connect in to it. The devices themselves cannot connect to anything.
