Home Automation - Smartkit

Tom hi

I have managed to get it to work. On the top of the Super Drive Garage Motor(no need even to take cover off) there are 4 Points marked BT, BM, COM and Positive. The RX1 receiver's neg and Pos connects to Com and Pos ports on top of the motor. The NO (normally open i believe) on the receiver goes to BM port on top of the motor.(did not work in BT port). And on the receiver I have to bridge the Com and Neg points.
I programmed my remotes before I installed the unit with assistance of a loose 24 bat which save me the hassle of doing this above my head on a step ladder.
Thanks

That's a good idea. Where you grab that from?

Where did you get the authorization token?
When I browse selfaccess.virginactive.co.za I don't see any requests going to the /Api path and so I can't figure out where this token needs to originate from.

I'll PM you - my web development skills are non-existant.

any youtube videos on this:
" (**) NOTE 2: It is also possible to flash the CC2531 sniffer with a Raspberry Pi or an MCU like the Arduino or ESP8266 without a CC debugger. This however requires you to buy 4 female-female Dupont cables. You will also need to bend the debug pins on your CC2531 if you don’t want to buy a downloader cable too. "

I bought a bridge, but haven't had the chance to flash it yet. My wifi is a bit flakey and every time the network goes bad for a couple of minutes, the Aqara gateways just drop off and takes about an hour to come back online. Very annoying.

Do you have to remove the resistors?
Was wondering if i could connect this to the "telephone headset panel inside the house"

Yes, otherwise the output's are not "dry" and will basically put a certain voltage on your trigger pins. They are not hard to remove.
 
I have the sonoff SV tasmota version connected to a centurion d5 and everything was working fine until load shedding.

After load shedding happens it starts triggering like crazy opening and closing the gate until the WiFi starts working on the unifi/switch/ AP which takes some time.

Now this is a security risk until I can get it sorted out.

Any setting that I should check?

I'd say (in order of probability):
1) PowerOnState 0
2) WifiConfig 5

Is the unit operating "on its own" (without a connection to HA) or with HA / through MQTT? If on its own, disable MQTT in settings (permanently, or temporarily and then test without MQTT and manually removing power source).

Edit: if MQTT is used, check the " PowerRetain" setup on your HA / use the PowerRetain 0 option
 
I also have a wierd issue only coming up when there is loadshedding i.e. no 220v power, and SV powered by gate battery only.

SV gets its power directly from battery always, so super confused.

I connected a magnetic switch to the SV so I know when gate is open etc in HA.

So now, when loadshedding happens, as soon as magnet on gate touches this sensor , the gate stops halfway. The sensor switch 2 comes into play. The only way I can then use gate is to go to manual bypass on centurion. PITA

Of course when power returns, all is fine and sensor two works.

I only use the normal remote , cos my Hass is dead when loadshedding takes place and I don't know if no access to Hass is causing the issue.

For now, I moved the sensor away so I don't run into issues during loadshedding and gate works as normal.

My sv is powered by the gate 12v out. Maybe try that

Will check this. It is connected using mqtt.

Mine to the same thing. After load-shedding it seems that they struggle to make a decent connection to the AP, and every time it losses a connection to the AP it cycles the relay. So far the only solution has been to gracefully shut everything down and restart everything again. The Sonoffs shouldn't shut down during loadshedding as they are powered through gate batteries but they might be seeing some voltage fluctuations.
Being simple devices, what I'm gonna do now is set up a very basic AP just for the Sonoffs. 2.4ghz only 802.11g, no channel hoping and no additional features to improve wireless performance. Will see how it goes.

Alternatively power the sonoff using a plug and skip the battery. So it dies during load shedding.

But practically this is difficult for me with a ton of work installing new and longer wires.

But will it help the situation? Not, but I do know that they dont like "fancy" wifi and if they were POE powered I would be a happy boy.
