Garage door impulse required #80

Closed sbrock1977 closed 3 years ago

Hi Matthias

thanks for this great piece of work.

I do have a small issue with my garage door, it requires an impulse ("1" for say 1 sec, then "0" again). I could not figure out if and how to do this with the current version 1.1.1.

Any guidance?

Regards Sascha

Hi Sascha,

configure your actuator as stairwell lightning for 1-2s in ETS. Works fine for me.

Hi,

that's unfortunately not an option - the garage door is controlled by a Siemens Logo which is connected to KNX via the Siemens CMK2k gateway. It only allows pass-thru, and resetting flags in Logo programming language is something I could not resolve after hours of testing.

What could work though - I do have a Gira X1, that would allow stairwell lighting. I would connect the group address that triggers the garage door to the input, set timer to one sec and connect the very same group address I used to trigger to the output... let me try that workaround and get back to you

... Sounds like a plan!👍

Alright, I just realized there's a monoflop setting on the Siemens gateway. Similar to stairwell lighting, it creates the required impulse. Thanks for pointing me to the right direction!

Given this workaround, my issue has been solved. Not sure if considering as feature enhancement though.
