I successfully replaced TMT Chow! Gate opener with custom ESP and integrated it to Home Assistant
I followed up on RPJacobs-s work and finalized my project!
If anyone wants to follow: https://github.com/Artooditu/TMT_CHOW_CB19-GATE-CONTROL-SYSTEM/tree/main
The problem with original solution is that is puts you behind a paywall, limiting the capabilities of the system. Even if you pay you were forced to IFTT.
That's not good enough! I need to know if gate is moving, which direction is it moving, and get a constant feedback of the state.
To-be-done: As this relies on MQTT I need to implement a healthcheck to know if gate is available, I'll update it soon :)
Super happy with the solution!
