Door / Gate
Door and gate open-detection and remote-open command over long-range wireless — paddock gates, shed doors, depot roller doors.
Categories:
The OGLAS door / gate node knows two things: when something is open, and how to open it on command. A paddock gate, a shed door, a depot roller door — same node, same wireless link as the rest of your sensors.
What it does
- Detects open/closed state — a reed or limit switch on the frame trips the device, which immediately reports the state change to your hub.
- Opens on command — a signal from the hub (or a button in your vehicle) pulses an output that drives your motor or relay. You can open a single door/gate or every one at once.
- Reports when it’s done — confirms back to the hub so you know the action ran.
The matching bell can ring a buzzer indoors the moment it trips — works as well on a farm entrance as on a yard gate or a shed left open overnight. See Monitoring and alerts.
Why it works off-grid
A door/gate node is always listening (it has to, to catch open commands), so it runs on mains or a small solar setup rather than batteries. The wireless range covers the typical gate-to-hub distance with no telco involved — see No telco dependency.
