3rd Party dry contact toggle trigger and wiring.

[saschawj]

Hi,

I have been following the solution from RATGDO for Liftmaster/Chaimberlain MyQ for a while now and was really encouraged by the fact that it may solve the problem of adding 3rd party trigger devices (for toggle) to the dry contacts.

Having a Garage Camera that can do a dry contact toggle, I was encouraged to try this out on my RATGDO v2.5 board.
Following the wiring diagrams, there is no problem to use this board with the Liftmaster 98022 jackshaft opener, however for the dry contact pins, either I am missing a configuration or may have a wiring problem.

I have tried 2 configurations in ESPHome to no avail. Not even seeing a trigger in the console.

One Config

`substitutions:
name: ratgdov25i-XXXXac
friendly_name: AttachedGarage-RatGDO
packages:
ratgdo.esphome: github://ratgdo/esphome-ratgdo/v25iboard.yaml@main

friendly_name: ${friendly_name}

The other config tried:

I do see the settings on the device itself.

If anyone would have any idea, please let me know.

Thanks
