Garage Control Unit

The Garage Control Unit (GCU for short) is a control unit for our garage that integrates directly into the FHEM home automation system. The advantages of the control unit are:

• One-time (One Time Key) or permanent access for parcel services

• Monitoring of the access doors

• Direct integration into FHEM

• Simple addition and removal of keys (One Time and permanent keys) via FHEM

• Remote triggering of garage door motor via FHEM

• Locking/Unlocking of the keypad (ignoring it’s inputs)

• Alarm function (triggering when doors are open while keypad is locked)

Usage

• The GCU controls a low-cost Rademacher garage door opener by simply simulating a button press on the remote control.

• The PIN and OTP lists are comma separated lists, if empty the value is ‘-1’.

• After connecting to FHEM the GCU is setting the Readings inside FHEM
