What do I need?

Postby ExtremeSlowPerson » Fri May 15, 2026 12:13 pm

Help Everyone.

New here.

I have a roller door garage which can be opened and closed from a control fob.
However, the button keeps running out of battery really quickly.

Is there an ESP board I can use to make it "smart"?
I've attached 2 photos of the garage board.

It's not the standard board which only needs 2 wires.
It needs 3 wires.
1 - up (L)
2 - down (L)
3 - Neutral (N)

I can't find any from online retailers.
I have home assistant, so I was thinking if I could just get an ESP board and make it myself.

What do I need everyone?

Thank you!

On the hardware side, you can probably get away using a standard ESP32 devboard plus some off-the-shelf relay board. If you're using Home Assistant, I'd look at ESPHome for the firmware side.
