Installationsprogramm einrichten

Only a single driver instance is required per ESPHome device. Multiple instances of this driver connected to the same device will have unexpected behavior. However, you can have multiple instances of this driver connected to different ESPHome devices.

DriverCentral Cloud-Setup
If you already have the DriverCentral Cloud driver installed in your project you can continue to Driver Installation.

This driver relies on the DriverCentral Cloud driver to manage licensing and automatic updates. If you are new to using DriverCentral you can refer to their Cloud Driver documentation für die Einrichtung.

Treiberinstallation

Driver installation and setup are similar to most other IP-based drivers. Below is an outline of the basic steps for your convenience.

  1. Laden Sie die neueste control4-esphome.zip aus DriverCentral.
  2. Extract and install the esphome.c4z, esphome_light.c4z, Und esphome_lock.c4z Treiber.
  3. Use the “Search” tab to find the “ESPHome” driver and add it to your project.ESPHome-ESP8266-Physically-Connecting-to-your-Device- (3)
  4. Select the newly added driver in the “System Design” tab. You will notice that the Cloud Status reflects the license state. If you have purchased a license it will show “License Activated”, otherwise “Trial Running” and remaining trial duration.
  5. You can refresh license status by selecting the “DriverCentral Cloud” driver in the “System Design” tab and perform the “Check Drivers” action.ESPHome-ESP8266-Physically-Connecting-to-your-Device- (4)
  6. Konfigurieren Sie die Geräteeinstellungen with the connection information.
  7. After a few moments the Driver Status will display “Connected”. If the driver fails to connect, set the Log Mode property to “Print” and re-set the IP Address field to reconnect. Then check the Lua output window for more information.
  8. Once connected, the driver will automatically create variables and connections for each supported entity type.
  9. To control lights and/or locks, use the “Search” tab to find the “ESPHome Light” and/or “ESPHome Lock” driver. Add one driver instance for each exposed light or lock entity in your project. In the “Connections” tab, select the “ESPHome” driver and bind the light or lock entities to the newly added drivers.

Verbindungen und Variablen zurücksetzen

Warnung: This will reset all connection bindings and delete any programming associated with the variables.

Setzen Sie die Treiberverbindungen und Variablen zurück. Dies ist nützlich, wenn Sie das angeschlossene ESPHome-Gerät ändern oder veraltete Verbindungen oder Variablen vorhanden sind.

ratgdo-Konfigurationshandbuch

Dieses Handbuch enthält Anweisungen zum Konfigurieren des ESPHome-Treibers für die Zusammenarbeit mit Ratgdo-Geräten zur Garagentorsteuerung über Relais in Control4 Composer Pro.

Relais-Controller-Treiber hinzufügen
Fügen Sie Ihrem Control4-Projekt in Composer Pro den gewünschten Relais-Controller-Treiber hinzu.

ESPHome-ESP8266-Physically-Connecting-to-your-Device- (5)

Eigenschaften des Relais-Controllers
Das ratgdo-Gerät stellt eine „Cover“-Entität in ESPHome bereit, die der Relaiscontroller-Funktionalität in Control4 zugeordnet ist.

Anzahl der Relais
Das ratgdo-Gerät verwendet eine Multi-Relais-Konfiguration zur Steuerung des Garagentors. In Composer Pro sollten Sie die Relaiseinstellungen wie folgt konfigurieren:

  • Set to 2 Relays (Open/Close) or 3 Relays (Open/Close/Stop)
    • The ratgdo device uses separate commands for opening and closing the garage door
    • If your ratgdo firmware supports the “stop” command, configure for 3 relays to enable the stop functionality. If you are not sure, you can look at the ratgdo connections in Composer Pro to see if the “Stop Door” relay is available.

Relaiskonfiguration

  • Eingestellt auf Impuls
    • ratgdo uses momentary pulses to trigger the garage door opener, similar to a wall button press

Pulszeit

  • Set all relay pulse times to 500 (Standard)
    • This is the duration the relay will be activated

Relais umkehren

  • Set all invert relay properties to NEIN (Standard)

Kontakt Debounce

  • Set all contact debounce times to 250 (Standard)
    • This helps prevent false flapping of the garage door state sensors

Kontakt umkehren

  • Set all invert contact properties to NEIN (Standard)

Relais-Controller-Anschlüsse

Relais

  • Offen: Connect to the ratgdo’s “Open Door” relay
  • Schließen: Connect to the ratgdo’s “Close Door” relay
  • Stop: Connect to the ratgdo’s “Stop Door” relay, if available

Kontaktsensoren

  • Geschlossener Kontakt: Connect to the ratgdo’s “Door Closed” contact
  • Geöffneter Kontakt: Connect to the ratgdo’s “Door Open” contact

Example Anschlüsse
Als Referenz ist hier ein BeispielampAbbildung, wie die Verbindungen in Composer Pro aussehen sollten:

ESPHome-ESP8266-Physically-Connecting-to-your-Device- (8)

Programmierung
You can create programming in Control4 to:

  • Open/close the garage door based on events
  • Monitor the garage door state
  • Set up notifications for garage door status changes
  • Create custom buttons on touchscreens and remotes

Example: Creating a Still Open Alert

Using the “Still Open Time” property from the relay controller driver:

  1. Set the “Still Open Time” to your desired duration (e.g., 10 minutes)
  2. Create a programming rule that triggers when the “Still Open” event fires
  3. Add actions to send notifications or perform other tasks

Zusätzliche Entitäten
Depending on your ratgdo device, firmware, and its capabilities, there may be additional entities exposed by the ESPHome driver. These can come as additional connections or driver variables.

Please refer to ratgdo’s documentation for more information on specific entities: https://ratgdo.github.io/esphome-ratgdo/webui_documentation.html
