The whole thing wasn’t designed to work that way.
Let me know whether it works.
I actually used the same ESP32 that I was testing that with before, using other projects from Github. So what I did here was I changed the password for wifi and flashed ESP32. Seems like it had stored SSID somewhere, as it connected to my wifi without any further interaction.
I ran the BusScan and was able to find the accessories and can control the gate now (initially I had pins 16 and 17 reversed).
I am noticing though - when I look at device in HA (MQTT), resport is correct whether it is opened/closed. But whenever the door is closing or opening and I stop it in the middle for instance, the status shows UNKNOWN. As soon as I close/open it, it reports closing/opening–>closed/opened
Please have a look at the code below
case DOOR_OPEN_POSITION:
doc["doorstate"] = HA_OPENED;
break;
case DOOR_CLOSE_POSITION:
doc["doorstate"] = HA_CLOSED;
break;
case DOOR_HALF_POSITION:
doc["doorstate"] = HA_HALF;
break;
case DOOR_MOVE_CLOSEPOSITION:
doc["doorstate"] = HA_CLOSING;
break;
case DOOR_MOVE_OPENPOSITION:
doc["doorstate"] = HA_OPENING;
break;
default:
doc["doorstate"] = "UNKNOWN";
}
The state.doorstate returns only the statuses above while the default status is “UNKNOWN”.
I saw that. While it reports some values in HTTP (such as target and current position, based off which I could template it somehow), those are not published to MQTT.
Therefore I am trying to find a way now how to make controls better. If you use device that is auto-created in MQTT, it does not reflect proper state if door is half/opened. Therefore, if you open door, and stop it, you can’t open it fully since that “open” button is greyed out.
I created mqtt cover template, but so far I struggle with state reflection based on the door posisiton value.
edit:
So far, I managed to at least create MQTT cover. Slider is not working since set_position_cover publishes numeric value instead of payload. Despite being able to see state (numberic value), not sure it supports setting state to “50”
cover:
- name: "Hormann Garage Gate"
device_class: garage
command_topic: "hormann/garage_door/command/door"
#state_topic: "hormann/garage_door/state"
position_topic: "hormann/garage_door/position"
set_position_topic: "hormann/garage_door/command/set_position"
availability:
- topic: "hormann/garage_door/availability"
qos: 0
retain: true
payload_open: "open"
payload_close: "close"
payload_stop: "stop"
#state_opening: "opening"
#state_closing: "closing"
#state_open: "open"
#state_closed: "closed"
payload_available: "online"
payload_not_available: "offline"
optimistic: false
position_open: 100
position_closed: 0
position_template: "{{ value }}"
Edit: had wrong set_position_topic defined.
So now, even if it is half opened, I can fully open it.
I would love to receive the file as well…

Notes
@ vladimirzrnic Thanks for your efforts but the file seems to be deleted. I have send you a private message in hope to receive it via email. 
try again now, I managed to download. (via google drive)
I have the ESP32 and LM2596S already here so thats no problems.
But what is the “TTL to RS485”? I cannot see where it is on the board.
Also what is the 6 pin socket on the board?
I sent off my order for the PCB today
This is a module that allows the TTL interface of the microcontroller to be transferred to the RS485 module.
TTL-RS485 should be installed under ESP32.
Regarding the pinout, see my previous post.
Can this be used with the Supramatic E3, is it just a matter of requiring the connector? Its much simpler than the other solution!
Perfect thanks so much, I thought something was hiding 
Great project. It would be great if there was a thread that gave some kind of step by step instructions.
I would also like to do this, but somehow I do not quite understand where to start , and what I actually need everything.
Maybe there is a way to do that?
I would definitely be very grateful
@fisch55 you need Hormann Supramatic 4 or Promatic 4 (4 series is needed). I mean - @Dr.Pat 's code is for that. I onlt have experience with this model. Do you have any of that?
Currently running this via raspberrymatic Ip .but would love to switch to the mqtt story. Got the Supramatic4 !
@fisch55 you need 3 HW pieces. This is what I used:
ESP32:

Stepdown module for converting 25V (from hormann) to 5V (for ESP)
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001580213946.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.13.5aeaf19csgJTHA
And I used this RS485 module as it has built in 120Ohm resistor (you need to solder 2 pins together to use it)
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001580305871.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.5dc8f19cApsIph
Rest is just soldering those pieces together according to schematics and upload Dr.Pat’s code with adjusted MQTT details.
I am using for some statuses also device that gets autodiscovered, but due to (I believe) limitation about state/position reporting, when I open gate, and stop it before it opens fully, then this device does not let me close it, arrow down is greyed out. So I templated MQTT cover that does not have this “limitation” as it works based on position value (0-100), but this does not have state (opening, closing, unknown) and I can’t template it as target position is not being published in MQTT (only on web, for which you would need to poll regularly).
So for opening/closing status, I use autodiscovered device. But for operating the gate, I use templated MQTT cover (see above posts).
I am using device that
Cool , THX a lot for these informations!!!
And this….right?! The only part I can’t find ist the socket !
Actually I Got this
which rj12 socket should I use?
So - you already have HAP 1 module. This project here emulates it without need to actually have it.
Regarding the soldering and socket - it is really up to you how you put it together. I don’t have the board for instance, I directly lead those 6 wires from RJ12 to where it needs to go.
