Garage Door Opener Settings

Markus Kirberg edited this page Nov 25, 2024 · 6 revisions

Shelly switch can be put into Garage Door Opener mode (see General Settings).

Overview

In this mode Shelly is attached to a garage door opener controller and at least one (!) sensor to report fully closed position.

It pulses its output in response to commands from the Home app or from the Web UI and uses input(s) to track position of the door.

Settings

Name: name of the accessory in HomeKit.

Status: shows the status of the door (open, opening, closing, closed).

Swap Inputs (Sensors) (Shelly with more than one input only, second Input can also be achieved with attaching an Addon): By default the sensor for closing is connected to the first input, while the opening sensor is connected to second input. This setting swaps the order, so closing sensor is on second input. Only applicable if two inputs are available otherwise this does nothing.

Close Sensor: Selects type of the "door closed" sensor

  • Normally Closed: Sensor is closed (conductive) when the door is in the fully closed position.
  • Normally Open: Sensor is open (non-conductive) when the door is in the fully closed position.

Open Sensor: (Shelly with more than one input only) Selects type of the "door open" sensor

  • Normally Closed: Sensor is closed (conductive) when the door is in the fully open position.
  • Normally Open: Sensor is open (non-conductive) when the door is in the fully open position.
  • Disabled; No sensor attached

Output Mode: (Shelly with two outputs only) Selects output mode of the door

  • Single: If your garage door has one input for toggle. Output 01 is connected to the input of the controller
  • Dual: If your garage door has two inputs, one for closing and one for opening. Output 02 is also connected to the input of the controller

Movement Time: Sets door movement time, from fully open to fully closed position and vice-versa.

Pulse Time: Sets the length of the pulse generated by Shelly, in milliseconds.

[Save] button: saves settings.

[Toggle] button: generates a pulse on the output and starts door movement.
