The Ratgdo Garage Door Controller allows for control and monitoring of most all door openers including those that use encrypted communications.

If you have a security + 2.0 door opener, or a security + 1.0 opener with compatible wall control panel, ratgdo detects the garage door's position (opening, open, closing, closed) from the signal wire. No soldering or additional sensors are required to get the door status. Three simple wires (Ground, Control and Obstruction) are connected to the terminals of the garage door opener.

If you have a dry contact control door opener (e.g. Genie, old Chamberlain, etc) then ratgdo can control your door and detect the door's position using two simple reed switches (not included).

With some of the garage door manufacturers locking down ability to integrate (myQ), Ratgdo fills the void.  Allonis's myServer Ratgdo driver integrates garage doors into your rest of home control system.

Installation

Install the Ratgdo driver from myServer's Software Updater

Install the Ratgdo hardware as per the Ratgdo website instructions.  Select to use the latest firmware.  Do not install the MQTT firmware.

Put the Ratgdo on your home's Wifi network and assign it an IP address.

Note: In our testing we find the "http://ratgdo.local" URL may not be accessible.  Simply find the current IP address using your Router's IPV4 DHCP server or an IP Finder application.  Then just directly go to "http://YOURratgodoIPaddress"

Within the Ragdo driver Configuration, click Discover.  You can also manually add the Ratgdo's IP address.

 

You can test the driver / Ratgdo control using the included controls on the Driver's Configuration webpage.

That should be it!
