Question: Why no opening switch in the module? #5

Closed SAOPP closed 2 years ago

SAOPP commented 2 years ago

Hi!

I'm playing with your module right now. Thanks for your work!

But I immediately had a question after connecting, why is the firmware not equipped with a switch that would send a signal to open?

Having looked at the diagram, I could not draw a conclusion for myself, I'm wondering why such an implementation is now, and what is missing for the opportunity to add this switch?

Thanks.

Hey! The opening is realized by setting one of the operating modes (except Never). If you need a switch you can add it to an external converter or create a virtual switch based on the operating mode in your smart home system.

Hey, thanks for an answer. So, I understand correctly, if during a incoming call, I switch from never mode to (for example) once or always - will the module open the door? Right?

xyzroe commented 2 years ago

Yes. You are absolutely right

SAOPP commented 2 years ago

Thanks homie! Have a nice day!

Btw, I almost forgot, I'll write it down here, ideally, the following things are missing:

  1. this is a switch opening out of the box in the firmware
  2. these are the possibilities of soldering an external button on the board, for opening, for example, when there is a need to make button outside of the case or connect this button to existing button in intercom phone

I hope this will appear in the next versions of the firmware and the module itself, thanks in any case homie, a cool project, in particular, catch five for zigbee kehd. ;)

And I immediately came up with another 1 point:

  1. this is the addition of a LED that will notify about the current operating mode of the intercom

This option, but it is very convenient in everyday life. I think it's all from my side now.

I would be glad to hear any comments on the above points, thank you.

  1. This can be done with an external converter.
  2. it is possible, see X4. pin 1.2.
  3. The LED displays the current mode anyway. Read the description.
SAOPP commented 2 years ago
  1. ok
  2. I will see it, thanks
  3. yes, but when I switch modes, my led is silent at all, and I'm talking about displaying the led status in real time

  1. It shows mode right after change. Not during idle. Feel free to make PR 😀
