Very inyteresting, thanks. My controller looks the same as the one in the video. In addition to the key fobs, It has a "Smoove Origin RTS' controller which has separate up, down and halt buttons. The advantage of this is that if you press the down button you know the door will close even if you are not there to check it no matter what its current state (closed or fully/partially open). This makes me wonder if it is possible to get to that same functionality with HA. It is not broken out on the standard connectors shown in the video but maybe it is internally (would need the removal of some additional covers) .

I'd also like an indication/alarm in HA when the door is open. I wonder if there is a way of connecting a signal from the Rollixio into ESPHome to do that. Mine has an optical wired safety edge which connects into the controller on pins 7, 8 and 9. Maybe a high impedance input on the ESP could read the relevant one of those pins without affecting its functionality.

you can use also a button

Great Video!! I have a similar set up but with a Zooz zen16 rather than an esp32. The issue i had was with automations and voice control, the automation or being controlled by voice doesn't know whether its opened or closed, So an automation maybe opening it when it should be closing it. Also the cheap all in one tuya wifi garage door controller i have (im trying to move away from wifi devices) will when i say "alexa, close garage door" it will know if its open or closed and if already closed will tell me "garage door is already closed". Would their be any way to handle knowing what state the door is in and incorporate it into automations and voice control ? I'm fairly new to home assistant so any help would be gratuitously appreciated!!

I'm using a £5 5v-24v single channel tuya zigbee relay board (Sorry no ESPHome here !) on the same somfy controller and powered via the 24v feed within the somfy on pins 14 and 15. The whole lot is inside the original somfy case. also using the same smarthings contact sensor which also exposes when its in motion to Home Assistant which is a nice little extra bit of feedback to confim its working. Been working flawlessly for at least a year.

Amazing and clear instructions, I'm looking to build a automatic gate and want to integrate it into home assistant, would this work for a automatic gate opener ?

Thanks for the great video. When I add the cover template to the YAML code, I get this output: [covers] is an invalid option for [cover.template]. Do you have any ideas how to fix this?

[johnadams]

great video - thanks.... Think I'm going to try this, rather than buying a shelly device... Is there a PoE version, rather than USB?

I am planning to go the route of using a reed switch. Would you possibly be able to provide the esphome configuration changes required to get that functioning? Also do you have any pin recommendations for attaching the reed switch to the esp? Thank you.

[ericilkwatson]

But how do you connect that magnetic switch?

[jimlea]

What would happen if I send 12v to pins 10 and 11?

Did you stick those components in with Chewing gum?! :D
