Hi,
I'm trying to create what should be the world's simplest Shelly Uni application, shorting two wires for about 1 second to trigger a garage door opener. I connect one set of the output leads of the Shelly Uni in parallel with a wall-mounted switch. The switch has 28V over it when open, and 20mA flowing through it when closed. As far as I can read the Shelly Uni specs (max 36V DC and max 100mA), this should be a perfect fit, and I assume that the outputs are actually MOSFETs despite a mention of "open collector outputs" somewhere. What I find strange if the outputs are indeed just MOSFETs, is that there is no mention of ON resistance?
Anyways, nothing happens when I press the button and (presumably) short the output leads, so I'd appreciate any advice or feedback. Is there perhaps a non-obvious trick to enable the outputs at all? Or could I simply have a defective unit? Or are the outputs actually open collector after all?
I power the Uni with 12V (Not that I see how/why that should matter, but just to come clean).
Cheers,
T. Kalunken
