Ubiquiti gate hub and 12volt swing lock issues
Curious if someone can help me out or point me in the right direction. I just installed a Unifi Gate hub to control my garage door and side yard swing gate (i know its kind of over the top). The garage door works great, however for the life of me, i cannot get the side yard gate to work. I picked up of a Universal 12VDC Outdoor Automatic Electric Gate Lock, to run off the 12V 1A terminal on the hub. The lock says it needs 12volts, and <5A. I would assume the hub should work. The entire run of the wire is about 26 feet long. When I trigger the gate to open, i get nothing. I figured i may have a faulty unit so I picked up another, same thing, and then I tried mighty mule, same thing. I tried putting the hub closer to the gate, thinking the issue may be voltage drop, and that didn't seem to do that much. All of the locks have a keyed fail safe that opens them in the event of power failure. When I do that, and then try to trigger the hub to open the lock, the little motor inside goes nuts. I assumed i wired something wrong, but no matter how i change the connections, its the same thing (COMM, NO, NC). At this point im not sure what to do. Do i need more power to power the lock, move it closer? Give up?
