| page | Raspberry Pi GPIO Cover | Instructions on how to setup the Raspberry Pi GPIO covers within Home Assistant. | 2016-08-24 14:28 | true | false | true | true | raspberry-pi.png | DIY | 0.23 | Local Push |
The rpi_gpio cover platform allows you to use a Raspberry Pi to control your cover such as Garage doors.
It uses two pins on the Raspberry Pi.
- The
state_pinwill detect if the cover is closed, and - the
relay_pinwill trigger the cover to open or close.
Although you do not need Andrews Hilliday's software controller when you run Home Assistant, he has written clear instructions on how to hook your garage door and sensors up to your Raspberry Pi, which can be found here.
{% linkable_title Configuration %}
To enable Raspberry Pi Covers in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
cover:
- platform: rpi_gpio
covers:
- relay_pin: 10
state_pin: 11
{% configuration %} relay_time: description: The time that the relay will be on for in seconds. required: false default: 0.2 type: float invert_relay: description: Invert the relay pin output so that it is active-high (True). required: false default: False type: boolean state_pull_mode: description: The direction the State pin is pulling. It can be UP or DOWN. required: false default: UP type: string invert_state: description: Invert the value of the State pin so that 0 means closed. required: false default: False type: boolean covers: description: List of your doors. required: true type: list keys: relay_pin: description: The pin of your Raspberry Pi where the relay is connected. required: true type: integer state_pin: description: The pin of your Raspberry Pi to retrieve the state. required: true type: integer name: description: The name to use in the frontend. required: false type: string {% endconfiguration %}
{% linkable_title Full example %}
# Example configuration.yaml entry
cover:
- platform: rpi_gpio
relay_time: 0.2
invert_relay: False
state_pull_mode: 'UP'
invert_state: True
covers:
- relay_pin: 10
state_pin: 11
- relay_pin: 12
state_pin: 13
name: 'Right door'
{% linkable_title Remote Raspberry Pi Cover %}
If you don't have Home Assistant running on your Raspberry Pi and you want to use it as a remote cover instead, there is a project called GarageQTPi that will work remotely with the MQTT Cover Component. Follow the Github instructions to install and configure GarageQTPi and once configured follow the Home Assistant instructions to configure the MQTT Cover.
