I already ask him to double confirm. Check the picture.

It is AC24 supply to the RF. red and black wire.

i think will get the test meter asap,
so no need to guess... 😅

QUOTE(Zot @ Jun 1 2018, 04:18 PM)
The pictures show 2 different boards (notice the power connector orientation). The board dimensions are also different.

The 5V one can be powered from 5V supply or USB (5V)

The 12V one can be powered from 12V supply or USB (5V)

😅 will take note on this

I just noticed your drawing shows AC24V to RF board. This drawing is on main board?

yes, main board written ac24v

Sorry but why need to identify everything?
I thought just connect that inching sonoff output to the same contacts as the RF module
Then you just need a 5v or 12v source

my bad, coz i dont hv wiring diagram of the board
and i need to leeach the power from the board to power up sonoff

If you not sure or cannot hear it, do this, use 1 wire, short the com and the fully open.

1) short it in short time. After short, immediately let go. What happen to the gate ?
2) Short it long time. Wire stay long. Do not let go. What happen to the gate open ?

This test is to confirm using inching (momentum) or switch type to operate.

ok autogate result come out already

1) Short it in a spark moment
-> autogate's motor activated... open/close
-> it will stopped after 25s (damn... this autogate is running on timer)

ranting.gif to fully open/close, my autogate need 8-10s... but it still running for additional 15s

2) Short it long time
-> autogate's motor continue to run... will not stop

So this is an inching type. You can set the timing at the dip switch. Spec on the board. But if already run that longtime without problem, better don't touch it.

Sonoff solution not difficult. Easy job. 1 eye close wiring.  biggrin.gif

user posted image

Use a AC/DC converter here -> Converter Than 2 pcs Sonoff inching module. Use the 12V type. Each control side open and full open.

Follow the picture wiring. Get a proper junction box to house the unit. If place outdoor, makesure water don't get in.

Done.

* Don't blame me if KFC the board or you KFC yourself.  tongue.gif 
The wiring diagram is correct as much as possible base on the feedback.

If you still can comeback a life, than tell us here your DIY.  tongue.gif

ohh thanx, the converter is quite cheap...
i tot it will cost rm60 to rm90

before this i tot of modding one of this

I think better get some devices like broadlink rmpro, can learn the RF signal and control by app, simple and easier.

i m seriously considering this now,
based on lzd selling price... it sold at rm117
(control multiple ir + rf device ready)

if i go via sonoff route,
inching rm45x2 + converter rm30 = rm120
(can only control 1device)

fyi my initial plan is to play²,
one device and cheap project
never thought of going fully automated...

now i donno anymore... the poison is strong

That was how mine work before. There are a set of trimpot to adjust the time. How ever, my new card now works differently. It will open and then sense the load current. Once the doors are fully open and hit the limit, motor will still continue thus increase the current. The board sense the current and then stop the motor.
*
ohh this is interesting!
i tot the board need somesort of sensor to sense fully open/close.
thus will gv me some idea for future replacement.

ps: i think using the timer mod, the motor gonna KO pretty fast

Since you said not familiar with electronic, so I think the

1) least less wiring
2) as easy as possible to do. No modification to anything.
3) Not touch the AC240V voltage. Which might dangerous for inexperience people.

The whole thing won't cost more than RM130. I think reasonable la.

If you no KFC, than get some KFC for idobludry.gif

i dont mind danger, as long as i hv basic understanding of it

and i always wan to play with arduino board...

ok will play safe... thank you

QUOTE(weikee @ Jun 2 2018, 12:09 PM)
Swing Autogate board usually have current sensor and timer. When it reach near to fully open or closed it will slow down to prevent damaging. Than it will sense current if over current it will shut off (when fully closed or open), the timer it will auto learn if it was rebooted. Some older system will need manual adjustment.

If it operate at full power all the time you risk damaging the gate, arms or joints.

my board hv jumper setting, i guessed is manual adjust.
i planned to looked into it later.
hope to readjust it before the motor overheat and burn

yuppie...
i always wan to play around but didnt find any interesting project.
initially i tot of using sonoff sv and reprogram it to self off after 1s,
now no need aldy...

Hi Guys,

Early this week, I had installed the long awaited smart lock for my house front door.
This is a good stuff... so it's worth sharing to you.

The model is U-tec Ultraloq UL1.
I got it from Indiegogo by backing the project.
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ultraloq...th-smart-lock#/

From my long research, it's the only digital lock in the market that fulfills my criteria below:
1. Door access with fingerprint, card and remote app access.
2. Compatible with IFTTT and Alexa (optional).
3. Compatible with most Malaysia door lock hole (important).
4. Competitive price.

Item #3 is very important for me.
I had installed the lock within an hour without the help from locksmith.. no modification on the wooden needed == no additional cost.

Of course, I also did some research on other digital locks from Gateman/Yale, Samsung, Xiaomi, Schlage, August and etc but none of them can fulfill my criteria.
The only downside for this Ultraloq is the company, U-tec is relatively new startup.
Good thing is... the lock works nicely on my door now.  biggrin.gif

how does it integrated with ur smarthome? ifttt?

No picture is taken yet.
If your existing lock is cylindrical or normal gripset types, then it'll be compatible.
Not compatible with mortise type.

Simple to check... just look at the door latch if it is the short or long type.
Short type should be compatible.
The expected integration will be IFTTT and Alexa.
Actually, I have yet to explore into this yet because the feature will only be released in near future.
For me, I have a door sensor installed which is good enough to notify if a door is open/close.
Unless I want to perform different actions on different users upon door open/close, then I'll need to use the lock feature.

how does other device with ifttt/alexa security works?
rather than depend on wifi wpa2 for security...

Most (if not all) IoT or smart devices depend on WiFi.
In my setup, I have a UPS connecting to my modem, router and IoT gateway (SmartThings / Mi Gateway).
The sensors are batter powered.
So, I don't worry if someone disconnects my electricity to bypass my security system.
In this case, I'll get the push notification and the siren will trigger.

IFTTT (if this then that) is merely a service to integrate smart devices from different vendors.
For example: if "U-tec lock is open", then "start video capturing from Samsung camera"

Alexa is like Google Assistant.
I'm planning to use echo speaker to lock/unlock the door especially for my kids.

ic, i tot more advanced security type...
like need to install security cert before u able to set "lock open/close" command on the smarthome device
