ESPHome Garage Cover Single Control

Project to control a garage cover or gate with ESPHome and Home Assistant.

This project uses:

• Esp board compatible with ESPHome
• Relay to activate the cover control
• Two reed switches to detect end positions of the door.

Cover description

Cover is controlled with a single control using a relay. Each time the control is activated, it performs an action according following state machine:

• Sequence: open -> stop -> close -> stop -> open
• When cover reach the end (open or close) it counts as a stop action

Project features

• Position control
• Calculate the number of times the control need to be activated to perform the action requested or reach requested position
• Actuate the door many times as needed to perform requested action. For example if position in memory is wrong or unknow because a external control stops the door at middle.
• Detect and update position when the cover is externally commanded. Only if door is full open or closed when commanded or reachs end stop sensors.
• Configuration options for GPIOs, debounce time, open/close durations. time between control actuation...

Instructions
