This ESPHome package allows control of a Garage Door Opener with a relay and one or two reed sensors. Supports:
- open/close/stop control
- most importantly position reporting and control, distinguishing it from other similar projects
- obstruction sensor
See the included example-gdo.yaml for my personal setup with just one reed sensor at the fully-open position.
- A Garage Door Opener that you open/close with a single button. The behavior of the button is expected to be:
- If door is closed a single press opens it.
- If door is (fully or partially) open a single press closes it.
- If door is opening a single press stops it.
- If door is closing a single press opens it.
- ESP board compatible with ESPHome.
- Relay to either press the physical button of the wall control panel (for Chamberlain Security + 2.0) or short the controls on the garage door opener itself (for Chamberlain Security + 1.0 or Genie etc.).
- One or two reed sensors to detect the fully-open and/or fully-closed states. If using a single reed sensor, it can be placed in either fully-open or fully-closed positions.
- Optional two 10kΩ resistors to detect the obstruction sensor.
- Adopted from Endstop Cover and Time Based Cover.
- The circuit for the obstruction sensor is from rat-ratgdo.
- The code for the obstruction sensor is from esphome-ratgdo.
