BPFUNK Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Quick question. I have a driveway gate that currently can be opened by a card access relay installed in the box outside (ie. shows open in the UI when relay is activated). I also have a honeywell contact sensor that tells me when the gate it opened with the button or car sensor. is there a driver that can somehow combine the two so i get feedback and control instead of having 2 driveway gate drivers? My dealer seems unsure...so we have 2 different "gates" on the UI, one for status other for control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3D - Benn Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Create a fake gate and program against both real sensors / relays to determine the state? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Use the right driver - there is a gate driver that has a relay AND a contact sensor connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybuch Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 The question is, is it a open/close/stop gate? if so the Gate/sensor driver won't work correctly. I am guessing thats why there are two drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybuch Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 6 minutes ago, knowitall said: What? The gate/sensor is only one relay. So if you have a 2 or 3 relay gate, you need at least 2 drivers, one for open one for close. Unless I am missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knowitall Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I've never seen a 2 let alone 3 relay gate but that's just me. And in the OP it states he has a card access relay that controls it so it should work fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed the card access part (single relay). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VINCELdUB Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Houselogix has a multiple relay driver with sensor hat works great. Happy Automating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VINCELdUB Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Then bind it to a gate. Happy Automating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPFUNK Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 The relay is to open only. Gate opens and stays open when relay is closed. Closes automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VINCELdUB Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 The relay is to open only. Gate opens and stays open when relay is closed. Closes automatically. The driver as stated above is the "Motorized Gate(Sensor)" driver that is under motorization in composer pro. . Happy Automating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally have this working but there is only a pulse option in this driver. Is there a driver that will keep the relay open or closed using card access?

VINCELdUB Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 No But could be tweaked I am sure. I have also in this situation put in a second driver and hid it from navigators. And this driver was for the hold open hold close relay. Then using programming based on the state of the motorized sensor gate it would open or close the relay of the hidden driver. Happy Automating!
