Is anything blocking this PR from being merged?

[slcr]

would love to have this in the next release <3

Thanks for your PR @MichaelVdheeren. I'm assuming this requires that the Shelly 1 has an auto off timer, that a reed sensor is connected to the switch input and that the button mode is set to detached?

How is the garage door controlled from a physical switch in this case? Not via the Shelly 1 I suppose? So it's not possible to detect when the garage door is controlled manually?

I'm not @MichaelVdheeren but I'm using his branch. All your assumptions are correct.

You have to set an auto-off timer in Shelly (I have it set to 0.5).

Shelley button is in detached mode.

A reed switch is connected to the switch input to detect door state (open/close).

I don't have a physical button to open the door. But you could probably have a circuit where the button would short circuit the lines from the Shelly to the motor.

Anyway, not having a button is actually pretty common. In buildings where each apartment has a garage (only way in and out is through the garage door) there's little sense in having a button inside.

🔼 This could be an option with a powered reed sensor.
Most garage door sensors automatically calibrate themselves and just need an input.
They also only have one button in an Open - Stop - Close - Stop - Open cycle.
A reed sensor can be optionally used to check if the door is open or closed.

Thanks for your answers @pfandrade @slcr. I will merge this soon.

Any news here?

how are the connections for the shelly 2.5 (garage door-sensors) can make a scheme? thanks

I'm able to help if there is anything needed to get this merged!

Some notes:

It is indeed not possible to detect whether the garage door was triggered by an external button, However, indeed with the reed sensor or built-in sensor connected to the switch you will always know when your garage door is closed or not closed. Thus, when you press the remote of the garage door the shelly will detect via the input the garage door is open.

Hi, can we merge this pull request in? If not I would like to know what I need to do or solve.

I have some improvements outstanding but don't want to immediately push them onto my master branch - my mistake of not making a separate one. So if there is no path to merging this I will recreate the pull request from a branch instead of master.

I am also going to work on a fan for shelly 2.5 which can use the different outputs for speed.
