hi all, im trying to mod my autogate to smart.
thanx to ozak, i currently change my options from sonoff sv to inching but currently i found another problem, my autogate board might not have DC12V. i have create a wiring diagram and post some pix of the board here DIY/Mod AutoGate to Smart, sonoff projec so what is my options? ps: i dont hv e&e skill  |

QUOTE(Kiding @ May 30 2018, 09:09 PM) I saw a yellow square box looks like 12V battery, if it is, then you got DC12V source. i think tat is transformer... but my other option is the follow the power used by the RF module. someone said normally it is 5v but i didnt see any 5v indicator on the board |

i believe tat is AC power being stepped down |

QUOTE(idoblu @ May 30 2018, 10:03 PM) I believe itโs DC. Can see the rectifier beside the transformer. it wrote Trans Out at the bottom...The IC chip there needs DC to run a small well This one must ask ozak to confirm. i hope im wrong and it is DC |

QUOTE(Kiding @ May 30 2018, 10:11 PM) If you know how to use voltage meter, switch it to DC, red color probe goes to + and black color probe goes to "-" or "ground", then you will know it is DC 12V or not will buy voltage meter this weekenddonno how to use... --- QUOTE(idoblu @ May 30 2018, 10:12 PM) Your autogate already got a remote right? Why need the sonoff for? If no internet you canโt open your gate my remote sometime not working, not sensitive.i believe the frequency need to re-tune. most importantly not enuf remote control. and all family member hv phone... tat solve it |

QUOTE(Kiding @ May 30 2018, 10:27 PM) Can remote open/close autogate from anywhere haha not bad idea, can program with gps tracking. If the smart house apps has geo-fence feature, autogate can automatically open when you are returning to your home! no need to press any key!  but will be dangerous if hit ppl or neighbor car... |

ozak the diagram ur draw is accurate, and no backup battery
Zot from the rectifier pix, i think the board hv DC... but the INPUT/OUTPUT operation all in AC when i buy the voltage meter, then i will able to test whether the motor is AC Motor ps: or can i just test with Test Pen?? i redraw this to include more details 
Another thing is I notice inside RF Module have 2 small black box written as TIANBO HJR-4102E-D-09V 3A 120VAC 3A 24VDC --> RF is also AC box This post has been edited by lucaswjk: May 31 2018, 01:40 PM |

1. is there any other way i can leech power from the board or RF module (from COM and NO interface)?
and what is the COM NO interface power rating? 2. using sonoff basic and reprogram it to self locking?... because of AC power... 3. else use more comprehensive solutions, as recommended by Snoy using RF to control RF... |

QUOTE(ozak @ May 31 2018, 02:27 PM) Can you double confirm this supply is AC or DC ? i confirm the board is written AC24 (i too suspect it should be AC240) and  Can you open the remote black box and take the pic behind and front internal ? Very rare an external remote receiver running on AC24. Mostly either AC240 or DC5/12/24. another confirmation is... inside RF Module (black box) there is a 2 small box written
is the item is converting AC to DC? |

QUOTE(Zot @ May 31 2018, 02:43 PM) That black boxes are relays. Looks like the relay coil is using 9V. The contact can handle 120V at 3A oic...then i believe this relay coil is the one switching the COM-NO ... no wonder it have 2 correction on relay

sorry for the late reply,
here the back pic of rf module 
i hv oso identified the rectifire "leg", the leg quite long. RET 50A/800V

QUOTE(henryj8 @ Jun 1 2018, 01:50 PM) wow...so complicated to control the autogate from Ewelink App. I dont think you get the correct component to integrate. Just my 2 cents sonoff is good coz it able to power the electrical components directly via the power source.hahaha actually i agreed with u. but i hv learned alot, lucky i ask first before i make the purchase. thank to the helpful community here. |

QUOTE(Zot @ Jun 1 2018, 03:26 PM) It looks like that this RF module board get DC power from the main board through the Black and Red wire. That big capacitor 1000uF 50V is just to stabilize the incoming DC. The voltage then is regulated to 9Vdc to power the module through the voltage regulator RG2 at the tip of the capacitor. will sonoff inching still workable?The RF module receives the signal from remote to close contacts on both relays. One for right motor and the other for left motor. The relays act just like switches. The relays on the main boards is switching the power on the motors. coz it hv power rating 5v/12v only... and what is the output power rating for the NO-COM? 9v?? |

QUOTE(Zot @ Jun 1 2018, 03:48 PM) The 9V is the coil voltage to open and close the relay. this oneRelay notation usually like this: COM > Common NO > Normally Open NC > Normally Closed It is like 1P2T (1 Pole 2 Throw) switch So, when the coil is power, the COM will connect to NO. Otherwise, COM will connect to NC. Never look at Sonoff product spec. Maybe others knew better. Which Sonoff model are you talking about? I can search for it. 1 Channel Inching /self-locking WiFi Wireless Switch 5V 12V |

QUOTE(Zot @ Jun 1 2018, 04:03 PM) I see that Sonoff has two different version, the 5V and 12V. i think it can operate on 2 different power source,You need to know what is the voltage that comes from the Red & Black wire to the RF module. My guess it probably is 12V. or it hv jumper to switch the operation mode QUOTE(ozak @ Jun 1 2018, 04:04 PM) The RF is supply by the board AC24. RF itself have the rec to convert to DC. if not mistaken1 relay is control side open ? and 1 is control fully open ? What is side open ? side open is swing single gate, full open is swing both gate... ok will try to short it tonight, hopefully no rain again ๐ |
