A couple observations: 1. These gate systems usually have dry contact outputs as well, and you can get the gate motor’s idea as to whether the gate is open. Yo

A couple observations: 1. These gate systems usually have dry contact outputs as well, and you can get the gate motor’s idea as to whether the gate is open. You’ll need a smart relay with inputs :) 2. Home Assistant’s “cover” entities are a bit silly in that they don’t let you open a cover that is already 100% open. If you have a gate with an automatic close timer, you might want to send the open command even when it’s open to delay closing. You can fudge this by reporting the cover 99% open when it’s open instead of 100% open.
