Dreacon78 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Has anyone figured out how to allow two motion sensors to control garage doors yet? I am wanting to have a motion sensor to control my garage doors for when I go to leave or return so they auto open and auto close. I had it wired up to go off the sensors but it only allows me to connect one sensor to the doors so I am only able to auto open either coming or going, but not both. Anyone know of a way to fix this or are we stuck waiting for the Fun Pimps to add that function into the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theFlu Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Passthrough triggering, as in connect the cameras one after another: Power source - camera 1 - camera 2 - door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreacon78 Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 that wouldn't require both to get activated to make the doors open? I thought that if you did that then it would still stop the signal before it got to the doors if only one was triggered? Sorry if that is a stupid question. Just getting into electricity so still trying to figure all this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theFlu Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Yeah, not a stupid question, that's the intuitive reaction.. But no, the trigger signal is indeed passed through the second camera - it's great for your purpose, but it has its drawbacks of course ...

Orclover Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 ITs absolutely not stupid, it stumps quite a few of us when we first try to set it up because it is not very intuitive. So welcome to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreacon78 Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Ok cool. I will do a little rewiring and see how my luck works out. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vedui Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I covered that in my powered doors/hatches/drawbridge guide. Essentially signal passthrough from A16, --> trigger --> trigger --> door/hatch/drawbridge. A trigger can be a motion sensor, trigger plate or trip wire (not a switch). Very straight forward.
