Smart Garage Door Opener | Shelly 1 & Home Assistant

Transform your garage door opener into a smart gadget with a Shelly 1 for under $20 and the open hub home assistant. In the video I will show you how to use a shelly 1 to open a garage door with your phone.
To do this video home assistant isn't compulsory as you can just use the Shelly app. Home Assistant opens up integrations with contact sensors and other cool automations like garage door automatically opening when a car approaches or your front porch light turning on.

I waited so long to do this project! In the near future I'm planning to create a lot of cool automations with my garage opener, any suggestions?

I don't own a garage or even a car but it's always nice to see new home assistant content.

Nice work!
I just installed a Shelly 1 onto my Chamberlain garage door and have it working mint as across the local and wide area networks (cell network). Shelly supports Alexa and now I can just have Alexa open and close the garage with voice commands.
I dont run a manual switch to open and close the door, I only use FOBs.
I installed my Shelly 1 behind the panel door on the Chamberlain and used the 30VDC supply with in the Chamberlain to power the Shelly, this was very straight forward and didnt require any longer cable runs etc.
When doing the install this way the only thing to check is that the Chamberlain (or any door opener) is not set to a "low power mode" as the 30vdc supply will turn off after a while, meaning that the Shelly will go off line.

I see some dislikes, how can one dislike something with insight-full information and above all, for free?.

Thanks for this video!!! I'm new to home assistant

[kaypatel]

Definitely a great idea. Adding it to my smart home to-do list. Just getting started with Home Assistant.

When I deploy Sensors on a Garage Roll Door I will typically modify a Wireless Reed Switch Contact to use a Tilt Switch so there is no fumbling around with Magnets.

A Long press would be better so you don't open the door by accident.

I found your video excellent. I have a problem with my garage remote opening. I installed several years ago 2 Belkin Wemo maker switches. One for opening 1 for closingThere are 12 V USB connected by mini USB. Belkin have stopped supporting the Wemo devices and one of them is not working. Your system seems the way forward. I have some questions one will I need two switches which model of Shelly should I get. What did you house Shelley switches in. Thank you in anticipation

I'm also starting with home assistant and youtube just recommended this channel. Your videos are very helpfull to guide me on my first steps. I'm still gathering some sensores to collect some data to trigger my automations. Now waiting for a temperature sensor and a smart plug to controll bedroom heater. Maybe a shelly one could help on that :)

[gavinrandall]

Think I'd use it to try and automate the underfloor heating in the bathroom to come on for when I wake up in the morning. It's been in there since I bought the house 3 years ago and never used, never sat down and figured out the complicated timer!

[TheGeekZone]

Very helpful video. I had to swap the logic of my open and close sensors because I was using a normally closed reed switch vs a normally open. But it's working perfectly now.

[fartstulling]

Perfect video! I’m wondering how to control 2 garage doors?. Aqaba and Shelly 1?

[dannegus]

With the “covers” integration at the end, plus the HA apple HomeKit integration, the garage door icon then apparently appears in apple CarPlay when you approach home…..I’ll test it and report back

[MrSilverfish]

Hello, I have it wired up to normally open reed switch so when the door closes, it passes power to the SW input of the shelly one. What do i need to change in the script to get it to reverse? It shows open when closed and vice versa.. I've tried moving the Open and Closed.. i've changed 'on' to 'off' (binary_sensor.garage_door_input', 'off').... thanks.

[ZoHaiiB]

This is a great video honestly, I'm looking into getting one of these myself for my light switches

[michelegatta]

great! but is this code already adapted to the new modern style?

[Anewtubeyou]

Thanks for the overview. I added a reed switch that is activated when the door is in the closed position. My thinking was that unless my door was all the was closed, it couldn't trigger the sensor -- so if something obstructed the closing of the door, I wouldn't get a false reading the door was closed when it was not.

Long story short, when I follow your tutorial, the state of my entity is reversed. Door shows closed when open, and vise versa. I don't see a way to reverse this in home assistant or in the Shelly app. Any suggestions?

[WillSteeleMusic]

Great stuff! I could definitely do with automating my doors.

[AirPHX]

Really great video! Question. How do you make the button trigger on a double tap instead of a single tap? What would the code look like?

[ramdisk]

I would also make a garage door opener if I win. Thanks for the video
