Adding a wifi switch to electeic gate controller handset

[Chris Cheshire]

Hi guys, thanks for taking the time to read this.

I have an old fashioned wall mounted phone intercom gate opener. Im attempting to smarten it up a little by attaching a wifi button so that I can control the gates from my phone or via alexa etc. The wifi switch I have sorted by making a subtle adaptation to a sonoff wifi switch so that it behaves as a button push.

Im trying to wire it into the 'open gates'button of my intercom.

The door open button on the handset has a button with 6 pins on the back of the circuit board, and no obvious 2 pins when shorted across seem to consistently activate the opening mechanism.

Occasionaly when I short the middle two, the gate will activate, but after this the whole system needs to be turned off and back on again before the same combination of pins does the same.

Has anyone any experience of doing this?

Cheer
Chris

The wifi switch will need to be connected into the gate controller board, not the intercom.

Thanks, sorted now.

I actually managed to switch via the intercom from the house end where the wifi is much more stable.

All working.

Been so long since ive dabbled like this I forgot how the 6 pin putton was configured!

You have to solder two wires on the yc200 handset from the back of the push button or just use two spare cores that go from the yc200 handset and wire in on the BPT a200n controller
