They work for me…
I have also uploaded photos to GitHub

Hi. I like your project. I would like to do something similar at my place, but I have a few questions:

  1. I noticed that the project is from 2019. Do you think that in the latest version of Servo Drive, modification is still possible? I’m mainly referring to the switch (BLUM 23P5020 Włącznik SERVO-DRIVE do AVENTOS, Symetryczny, jasnoszary - Systemy elektryczne do szuflad).
  2. In your version, is the switch also paired with the motor wirelessly? (In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DebANForbwk, you can see the pairing moment between the switch and the motor at 1:50).
  3. Do you think one Servo Drive would be sufficient for opening doors sideways, rather than upwards?

Hi @pwieladek

  1. Yeah, you basically just have to solder the relay in parallel to the button, so most probably it will work.
  2. Yes, it is wireless, powered by a battery
  3. It should work, but I suspect there might be a problem with dampening - it might rely on the gravity to slow down the doors. I think you can try to ask Blum for a help with that question :slight_smile:

Please let me know if you will find something out :wink:

This is great,

We’re about to convert our garage and would love to incorporate this garage for our robot vacuum. Just wanted to ask does the door automatically close? Is there a remote that you can open / close the door if needed?

I’m based in the UK so hoping the technology is available here too.

I have a procedure of leaving the garage, garage is closed at the end of it.

It is possible to close the door by just pushing it down manually or by pressing the button. You can also open it by pushing the door. Full functionality of Blum Servo-Drive system still works.

Would you be able to share this with me? We’re currently planning our garage conversion and would love to incorporate this. Juts not quite sure what I will need.

apologies for the ignorance… but can you elaborate a bit on this? What exactly does it mean to solder a relay to the remote switch? Can you share a photo of this specifically?

We’re currently designing the kitchen cabinets and I’d like to install something similar. Does this still rely on the remote (and hence, a battery) to be functional?

Yes, it does (photo), but in my case the original battery is still fine after 7 years

Thanks a lot for your responsiveness!

7 years is impressive… still… the idea of an avoidable battery just doesn’t sit entirely right with me :slight_smile:

Have you considered using ‘simple’ linear actuators? If so, what made you decide against them?

I suppose you can just solder the appropriate power supply instead of the battery and everything should work without any batteries.

I didn’t have time to build it and this approach has 2 nice features: push to open and overload protection (to not crush anything)
