hi guys, can anyone explain to me the electrical anatomy of automatic folding gate? i tried finding information online, apparently not a lot of information can be found.

i knows that the gate motor is controlled by a control board, and the receiver is receiver board, but usually where does the battery located?

is it easy to replace the receiver board (1 set incl. remote)? my autogate is about 12-14 years old, the same one given by developer for the automatic folding gate. kena break in once, the thief cut my wire and shot it with battery i guess (might be DC gate?)

1) how to check if the gate is AC/DC (mine is external actuator style)
2) how to locate the battery
3) can i just replace the receiver board and remote set to any frequency i like (eg. 333/433Mhz)
4) are controller board universal?
5) are receiver board universal (for non build in type)
6) how much are controller board?
7) how much are receiver board?

You can consider wifi relay switch like Sonoff.

No problem. Enjoy yourself. I just finished automate my whole house

I change the wall switch with sonoff wifi switch and add wifi relay to the light/fan/auto gate. Then add ir pir sensor and door sensor to trigger the light to turn on and off automatically. Also add Google home mini for voice activation and Broadlink IR blaster to control IR remote control

I had tried 2 type. 1st one is called Sonoff basic. This one you put at the light. Hide it inside the plaster ceiling. 2nd type is Sonoff T1 wall switch which you replace the existing one.

Hv not tried. I know Broadlink hv home security system and home automation. Can check it out

I tap the power from back up battery and signal to both side open/close on the autogate board

Me. I install a Sonoff switch to my auto gate. Can use voice command via google home to open or close gate

What apps are you using?

You need to setup everything in Sonoff apps first then only can link to Google Assistant

This one is a RF 433 Mhz bridge. This will only work if your auto gate rf does not utilize rolling code. Search for Sonoff 12V. It is actually a piece of pcb board. Yes, as long as you hv internet, you can control your auto gate anywhere in the world. The Sonoff 12v actually will be place inside your autogate control box. Just make sure there is wifi connection there.

Something like this

Anyone familiar with DCMoto fold gate? How do you set the manual switch to open or close both gate instead of 1 side?

Yeah, that is what I thought also. 1 port for indoor switch which will open and close 2 side and 1 port for outdoor switch which will only close 2 side (cannot open). Somehow the indoor switch only open or close 1 side.

You hv to check with your auto gate installer. Also you hv to ask them what frequency the remote use. Not all use 433 mhz

Hardware : Sonoff, Apps : ewelink. BTW, i bought extra 2 pcs. If u want pm me

Yes, T1 need neutral line. You can pull one from nearby aircon or water heater switch. Another option is to get those switch which can use capacitor to replace the neutral line. PM me if you want to buy

Install a Sonoff wifi module in your autogate control board. U can open or close gate via hp with ewelink apps. No need to use remote control. Go to Smart Home tread to see detail

Play with the inching timing. Try from 1 sec to 10 sec

There are cheaper options. PM me if intetested

Add a wifi module to your autogate

My dcmoto folding gate is having problem. 1 side cannot open or close. Initially when this happen, i gave it a push and it move. I open and close a few cycle and it was ok. Now it is totally dead. Any idea how to trouble shoot?
