Entidades ESPHome compatibles

Configuración del instalador

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.

Configuración de la nube de DriverCentral
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 para configurarlo.

Instalación del controlador

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

Descargue la última versión control4-esphome.zip de DriverCentral.
Extract and install the esphome.c4z, esphome_light.c4z, y esphome_lock.c4z Conductores.
Use the “Search” tab to find the “ESPHome” driver and add it to your project.

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.
You can refresh license status by selecting the “DriverCentral Cloud” driver in the “System Design” tab and perform the “Check Drivers” action.

Configurar el Configuración del dispositivo with the connection information.
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.
Once connected, the driver will automatically create variables and connections for each supported entity type.

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.

Guía de configuración de ratgdo

Esta guía proporciona instrucciones para configurar el controlador ESPHome para que funcione con dispositivos ratgdo para el control de puertas de garaje a través de relés en Control4 Composer Pro.

Agregar controlador de relé
Agregue el controlador de relé deseado a su proyecto Control4 en Composer Pro.

Propiedades del controlador de relé
El dispositivo ratgdo expone una entidad “Cover” en ESPHome, que se asigna a la funcionalidad del controlador de relé en Control4.

Número de relés
El dispositivo ratgdo utiliza una configuración multirelé para controlar la puerta del garaje. En Composer Pro, configure los relés de la siguiente manera:

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.

Configuración de relé

Empezar a Legumbres
- ratgdo uses momentary pulses to trigger the garage door opener, similar to a wall button press

Tiempo de pulso

Set all relay pulse times to 500 (por defecto)
- This is the duration the relay will be activated

Relé de inversión

Set all invert relay properties to No (por defecto)

Contacto Debounce

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

Invertir contacto

Set all invert contact properties to No (por defecto)

Examplas Propiedades
Como referencia, aquí hay un ejemploampAlgunas de las propiedades del controlador de relé en Composer Pro:

Conexiones del controlador de relé

Relés

Abierto: Connect to the ratgdo’s “Open Door” relay
Cerca: Connect to the ratgdo’s “Close Door” relay
Stop: Connect to the ratgdo’s “Stop Door” relay, if available

Sensores de contacto

Contacto cerrado: Connect to the ratgdo’s “Door Closed” contact
Contacto abierto: Connect to the ratgdo’s “Door Open” contact

ExampConexiones
Como referencia, aquí hay un ejemploampEjemplo de cómo deberían verse las conexiones en Composer Pro:

Programación
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:

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

Entidades adicionales
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
