Compatible with 'Linear' GDO #145

Closed leowang16 closed 11 months ago

leowang16 commented 11 months ago

Hello, I have a 'Linear' GDO, with a gray dot learn button and 3 terminals (1 common terminal) for the wall button and the obstruction detector (the panel like this figure). I have tried several wiring methods, but the issues is always 'ratgdov2.5i sync failed. Failed to communicate with garage opener on startup; Check the ratgdov2.5i Rolling code counter number entity history and set the entity to one number larger than the largest value in history' in HA. I assume I might have the wrong wiring, or it is the compatibility issue. If someone could provide some valuable help, that would be great. Thanks! Linear GDO image v2.5 dry contact diagram: image

As my understanding, 'Linear' GDO does not have the function knowing about the motor/door status. It is only for 'toggle'. I assume I just need ratgdov to emulate the 'wall button' to realize toggle function (i assume it is a simple pulse? lol)

oh, the wall mount can also controll the light of the 'Linear' GDO, which is optional for me for simplicity.

v2.5 dry contact diagram:

esphome-ratgdo firmware only supports Security+ 2.0 GDO's currently. For Security+ 1.0 or Dry Contact control, you have to use the mqtt-ratgdo firmware currently. See the feature support matrix here https://paulwieland.github.io/ratgdo/01_features.html

You can make your own ESPHome firmware for dry contact control though. See https://github.com/ratgdo/esphome-ratgdo/issues/130
