This is just FYI. Using SPDT switches, if you wire the power source to the Common of the switches, and the diodes Common Cathode, you can install an indicator light to the N.O. of the limit switch. Makes it nice to get a confirmation that the door is closed. Using timers it will only be on for...

First off I had planned to give you more diagrams but the harddrive I have them on crashed. I had a decades of work on that drive and I am trying to get it back in working order. I did manage to upload some video so that may help. Second. When I said Correct and Incorrect, I should have said...

I will be posting tomorrow. New diagrams and videos. Till then don't use either of those two examples in 1 and 3.

You are very welcome. I like using that method but its use is limited and has only one benefit and that is that it uses less wiring. That is why it is used in Linear Actuators. On the other hand using them is "more complicated". Most people don't know what a diode is much less know how to use...

It jumped in my head that showing you, not just telling you, is a better way to set your mind at ease. Was going to make a video but realised I already had mentioned this in several videos. In this video the Single Pole Single Throw Timers and use of external relays is different but the wiring...

In short you don't. Nothing will happen if both the Timers are on at the same time. In fact sending + power to both sides of a motor is often used to power lock/brake a motor. Many people also will have + power to both sides of the motor as the default. There are times when you want the...

I am writing to let you know I have read you comment and will do a write-up soon. I am not ignoring you in the least. However there are many options when using circuit protection and I want to cover a few of them. But out of all of them I will at least give you these little gems. They are...

I know this was a while back and I don't wanna read threw all 15 pages but did you ever get your answer?

I just gave you access to the folder. TY

Yes you are correct. I have the diagrams restricted for a few reasons. One of is that I had it open to all to view and comment but someone decided to act a fool. Also I might put private information sometimes. However if you or anyone wants access, all they have to do is request it and add a...

Update?

You didn't miss anything. You just haven't connected the dots. The timer you purchased is most likely for 220-240 AC voltage. Where did you order it from? Please send me the link to where you purchased from. And a picture of the one you actually received? It is possible that you ordered a 12v...

Posted an updated version of the Safety Return Up/Down Feature, and using a SONOFF 4CHPROR3 to manage the opening and closing of the door according to sunrise and sunset times, to include temperature. Replaced the laser though beam (less cost) with a simple pressure switch (two pieces of...

Since the last time I was posting on this thread, (almost a year ago) I have since ordered and setup a SONOFF 4CHPROR3, also from Aliexpress but shipped from the US. Paid only US $31.24 shipping and handling included. WiFi and RF capable 4 Channel Smart Switch. Channels 1 & 2 used to control...

I really wish I would have seen this earlier. Almost a year ago. I hope you found your answer. If not, here is a diagram for your specific relay and timer. Or this one. The issue with yours, as it is in the video, is that you only connected the power wires to terminal (term) 4 (positive red)...

The setup Looks very nice. This is just FYI for you or other who may want to do this. Tho If I was to use a module like yours I would use this one. It gives you the capability of stopping the door at any point, not just up or down, using two of the relays. No need for the DPDT relay. It...

Make sure that your solar panel or the charge controller has a Blocking Diode/Battery drain protection. Solar panels will drain a battery at night if there is nothing to keep the power from reversing back to the solar panel. OK no need to run power just yet. In you comment I do not see...

BTW I would love to see a picture of that setup..

7" touch screen? wow! That takes up the same amount of space as the terminal blocks. Sounds like we both like to take up space. LOL.

Yes I know what you were talking about. That's why I mentioned the terminal blocks. They take up room but I like them. The the reason all extra stuff is there is for testing purposes. It is also a sort of display. People always ask if you can use a photocell and timer. I tell them it is...
