Help with garage door opener and Fibaro module

[kevin 34]

Hi,

 

I need some advise about connecting a garage door opener to my HC2.

 

I want to purchase the CHAMBERLAIN Comfort ML 700EV (

) but there is no diagram of the connections inside the opener. After some searching the web I only found a picture of how to connect the switch to the garage door opener.

 

I was thinking about purchasing the Fibaro Smart Module (

), because this module works with 24V DC and the opener has a 24V DC connection. I don't know if there is power continuously on this connection or that it's only for a light.

 

In the screenshot you can see how the switch is connected to the opener. But how do I need to connect the Fibaro module while also keeping the original switch?

 

 

Thank you in advance for your advise?

 

Kevin

I already found out that the 24V DC in the opener is an IN connection for a battery, so I need to get some extra power cables for the Fibaro module.

 

But for me still the question which module would you advise and how to connect it while preserving the original switch.

Kevin,
Smart Module is a good idea however you need to find 230V to power it up. You have 24v= so you can apply Fibaro Smart Implant which doesnt need 230V. And you duplicate connection of both with you current manual switch as closing circuit

you can use the smart module also as it can be powered from 24V.

Correct, Smart Module does not require 230V, it can be powered from 24VDC.

Thank you for all responses.

 

Who can help me to draw how I need to connect the cables to the Fibaro module and original switch?

If I hear drawings and cables, I think of @FBerges ???

OK my cue!
Here is the plan!
Try that.
I hope at the two terminals + and - 24V also come out 24V.
Use a measuring device before ordering.
But I'm pretty sure!

Hi @FBerges ... the 24v is only an input for battery UPS.

Hi @kevin ... can you check this with a multimeter?

Chamberlain is also MyQ compatible maybe this is a way to go ... (api)

Hi,
In my opinion, if it is an input for connecting a battery, the electronics will also provide charging. I don't know this engine. There may be a direct 24V output, but with some measurement periods for battery tests, which can lead to power instability. Unfortunately, manuals about this silence. However, if you connect a battery (2 * 12v), it will be powered in order. I recommend adding a fuse for the connected equipment, because it is a hard source and when a fault occurs, it will be a big problem. The fuse protects it.

But why not using 230v. In most cases there is an 230v outlet to use the motor. 
 

@kevincan you reply.

[kevin 34]

Thank you for all the response.

 

I haven’t purchased the garage door opener yet, was first exploring what is possible.

 

But I think I will purchase this garage door opener and the Fibaro smart module and connect it with 230v. 
 

Now I need to find time to do it?

Yes, that would be the best solution ...
In fact, we have no idea why he wanted to power the module from 24V. Frank and I adapted our answers to that ...
In fact, it is a solution that can also be used for Smart Implant.
Once again, the simplest solution is proving to be the best.
