Automatic Doors.

[Strud]

Does anyone know how these work?
because I can't figure it out, I use a sensor,,, it closes the door if I manually open it, nothing I do will make the door open via a dynamic sensor.
I can't get the pressure plates to work at all, I've no idea what those are supposed to do.

I should be able to provide power to the dynamic sensor and connect it to the door.
if sensor triggers, send signal to door to open, if no detection stop sending signal and the door should close.

that's how easy it SHOULD be... but it isn't.. and I've no idea what to do.
I even tried making a logic gate, 2 switches one providing power to the other, one of the other off, the one off connected to door. THIS WORKS AS INTENDED if I toggle the switch connected to power it toggles the other one connected to the door on and off.

however if I then connect a dynamic sensor to the switch, Everything breaks and stops working.
it stops the toggle and sets both switches to false.

ok i hope this helps. i finally found a way to make the automatic door be "automatic" you'll need four things, a generator (solar,biomass, etc.) a camera, the "AUTOMATIC" door, and a power switch.


set up everything how you want it to be. and now here's how you wire them and achieve the "AUTOMATIC". Connect the camera wires directly to the generator, then connect another wire to the switch, and finally connect a wire from the switch to the "AUTOMATIC" door, this setup will trigger the function of the camera to turn on the switch whenever it "sees" you, thus supplying power to the "AUTOMATIC" door, opening it. it then will automatically close, when the power trips off the moment the camera no longer "sees" you. the only tricky part is the position of the camera, so to speak.

here's the simplified circuit of my "AUTOMATIC" door

Generator----->Camera------->Switch------->"AUTOMATIC" door

I just want to add that you will need 2 cameras 1 inside the house and 1 outside the house for it to be a fully auto door.

With just 1 camera on outside it will auto open when you are running into the house and will stay open while in the house. If you run out of the house passing it again will close it.

With 2 cameras 1 inside and 1 out. This will allow the door to be opened when you enter and close once you are inside away from the camera. Then while running out it will open again.

So the new Circuit looks like this.

Generator------->Camera-------->Camera-------->Switch------->"AUTOMATIC" door

How? Can you elaborate more?

Do I connect the generator to camera, then the camera to the 2nd camera, then the 2nd camera to the switch?

i would believe u need to connect camera to switch then to the door and then do the same on the other side in order for it to be fully automatic?
so like
Generator ----> camera----->Switch---->Door<----Switch<-----Camera<-----Generator

so like both sides need a camera and a switch

You can most likely use just 1 switch, but connect 2 cameras for inside and outside.
So generator to the cameras, then 1 wire from both of them to the switch, then wire to the door.

I tried this and it opens but doesn't close

Something that should be simple become so complex. ALmost space math. The natural state of the door should be always closed, and open in the proximity of the land owner. END.

Generator --> Pressure Switch --> Door works now as well (you will need to duplicate on the other side to get the door to close/open from there as well)

[StageOneStart]

So after some testing it seems to only work with one type of switch ( camera, pressure plate ect.) Just attach the camera to the power source and then the camera to the door and it should open went u get to the door but won't close until the camera sees u again

The main problem is their forced delay between interfacing with any doors/windows. It's like 3 seconds. So when you run in, the second trigger fails due to their weird delay for whatever reason it's been implemented. So you either have to do just one way or wait very patiently at the door for the trigger delay to pass.
