Gate with reed-contact

Hi All,

I'm new on the forum and I have a question about how to set up a shelly 1 so I can open or close a gate. I also would like to see with a reed-contact if the gate is open or close.

Thanks in advance.

Hi SebMai,

Thanks for your fast reply.

I think I know how to connect the shelly with the gate hardware. My problem is that I do not understand what the shelly setting should be so I can use the SW input for a reed contact.

Maybe a stupid question but what do you mean with the addon for the reed contact?

The functionality is similar as a garage door opener. See attached picture.

I have changed the button type to detached and it is now indeed possible to add external sensors. See also a picture of my screen in the attachment. Next step, do you now what the settings are so I can use a reed contact?

Yes I know that the reed contact needs the same voltage. I use my Shelly in 12V dc setting so it is safe in use.
