I have a Chamberlin RJO101, which is Security+ 2.0, but can’t get the ratgdo to fully work. The obstruction sensor works but that’s about it. I have the wall controller passing through the ratgdo and it works so I assume it’s wired correctly. In HA it says the door is always open and the buttons to open/close/toggle the door do nothing. What am I doing wrong?
Have you looked at this thread.
Sorry not familiar with your GDO and the connections.
I have an 8500W and it is working perfectly with the 2.5i. Just got ratgdo installed today. I did not install the obstruction beam and button through the 2.5i.
I used the installer that was available on Paul Weilands GitHub site. Because I use http and not https on HA I cannot do it from directly inside. I used the ESP home button and installed the 2.5i option. This gave me the option to copy to home assistant and I took it.
I run a 100% Linux home (except one laptop to do taxes), so I had to stand up a VirtualBox with Windows 7 (last available win version). Here is a screenshot of my ratgdo on my LAN.
Can you see your ratgdo on your LAN from a browser? If not, then you do not have it flashed properly. I had holy hell getting mine flashed, taking 4 times to get it done successfully.
Yes I can see it in the browser and the obstruction sensor works but it always says the door is open when it’s not and the buttons to open and close it do nothing.
I would remove all of the wiring from the ratgdo board except for the red, black and white wire. I would get the garage door working again. then add the ratgdo to the R,B&W wire bundles going into the GDO. I am willing to bet you have something loose or shorting.
Were you able to get the RJO 101 to work? I am looking to buy it.
I have a very similar problem.
Wiring appears to be good; the garage door button on my wall opens and closes the door just fine when manually pressing it. Wired as per the installation instructions. Assuming the wiring is fine or else this wouldn’t work.
browser to the ratgdo (ratgdov2.5i 1745bc) loads fine, reports firmware (2024.9.1 Sep 23 2024, 04:21:49), but almost always shows door state as “OPEN”
The open and close buttons don’t work. At all. Ever. If the door is manually closed by pressing the wall button, the state never changes to “closed” and the open button doesn’t work.
Toggle doesn’t work. Ever.
Sync will run a LOT of commands through the logs and sometimes open and/or close the door. Sometimes it’ll open then immediately close the door.
Last time I hit sync I got this:
|19:03:43|[D]|[ratgdo_secplus2:213]|Query paired devices of type: ALL|
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|19:03:43|[D]|[ratgdo_secplus2:213]|Query paired devices of type: REMOTE|

|19:03:43|[W]|[ratgdo_secplus2:107]|Triggering sync failed actions.|
I did a restart (multiple times), and get nothing. Restarted in safe mode, and nothing better.
Sometimes when I hit “sync,” the state reported will change from open to closed, but this has nothing to do with the actual state of the door. It can be open and report open, and hitting sync may (not always) change the reported state to closed, or may do nothing. Likewise if the door is closed, it may (or may not) change the state to open if it was reporting closed.
What’s interesting: if the garage door is manually opened, and it reports state as open, and I press sync, it’ll close the garage, then open it, immediately. If the garage door is manually opened and it reports state as closed and I press sync, it’ll close, then open, then close again.
But even then, with the door closed and the ratgdo state reporting “closed” if I press the “open” button in the ratgdo browser, nothing happens. Log states:
|19:33:09|[D]|[cover:076]|'Door' - Setting|
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|19:33:09|[D]|[cover:084]|Position: 100%|
|19:33:09|[D]|[ratgdo_secplus2:463]|Collision detected, waiting to send packet|
|19:33:09|[D]|[number:012]|'Rolling code counter': Sending state 2782.000000|
Still closed, still reporting closed. Toggle doesn’t work either, though if the door is reporting closed, toggle will change the reported state to “open” (but not the other way around), even though the door won’t move. If the door is closed, and reporting closed, and I hit “toggle,” it’ll change the reported state to open, but the door doesn’t move. If I then hit “sync” it’ll send a massive number of commands and do random stuff to the door. One time, it opened halfway, closed immediately, then waited a few seconds and opened all the way. It was then actually open, reporting state as open, and when I hit the “close” button, I get a log of:
|19:38:02|[D]|[cover:076]|'Door' - Setting|
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|19:38:02|[D]|[cover:084]|Position: 0%|
|19:38:02|[D]|[number:012]|'Rolling code counter': Sending state 2871.000000|
And the door does nothing. Still open, still reporting open.
I basically give up. Either this thing doesn’t work with a Chamberlain LiftMaster Security+ (Model no: 41AC050-1), the firmware is totally borked, or my board is broken.
Whoa! Totally found out our problems. Well, mine at least…
Security+ 2.0 firmware was installed.
Reinstalled with Security+ 1.0 and that fixed it for me. Everything works great now.
How did you figure out that you had the wrong firmware? My firmware shows 2024.9.1 Sep 23 2024, 04 on the web interface. Not sure what that is compared to v2.52, etc?
