Hey everyone, I just wanted to share my experience setting up a garage door opener using the ZEN17 relay in Home Assistant. I’ve been using HomeSeer before, but I’m really excited to make the switch to Home Assistant for its flexibility and community support.
So, I have this ZEN17 relay that I want to use as a garage door opener. I’ve got two binary sensors set up: one for when the door is fully open and another for when it’s fully closed. The challenge was figuring out how to get everything working smoothly. I remember reading through the documentation, but it wasn’t entirely clear how to handle two sensors.
After some research and a bit of trial and error, I managed to set it up! Here’s what I did: I configured the switch entity for the garage door and then set up the two binary sensors. The key was understanding how the sensors’ states change when the door opens or closes. When sensor 1 goes from closed to open, the door starts closing, and when sensor 2 goes from closed to open, the door starts opening. It took a while to get the logic right, but now it works perfectly!
I’d love to hear if anyone else has tackled a similar setup or has tips to make it even better. The community here is amazing, and I’m really grateful for all the resources and support. Happy automating everyone!
