Orion garage door controller

Hi all. I have transplanted an esp 12e into a Bunnings “Orion garage door controller”. I thought I would share my journey.

I transplanted an esp 12e in its place. Complete with the infamous GPIO 15 to ground solder blob😂

Not sure if I damaged the little transistor or what was going on with the 10,000,000 ohm resistor so I tied it all backwards on the magnetic reed pin(GPIO 12). The bridge over the left hand resistor is highly not needed I just wanted 3.3v back to the pin.

I hope this helps out someone looking at the same thing. And would also be happy to hear how others did it too.

Enjoy,

Hi Mate,
Thanks for sharing. I did the same with mine but with ESP12s chip. I can see the chip online but it does not operate the relay through esphome page. It also does not see the reed switch. If I push the manual button, I can see the changes in the log and can hear relay clicking.

Do you think my issue is because I have 1 volt on reed switch and not 3.3 like with your bridge?

Thanks
