OpenGarage not triggering the motor

[Geert Vercamer]

Hi,

I’ve been enjoying OpenGarage for two weeks during which everything worked like a charm. All of the sudden it doesn’t work anymore. I’ve intergrated OpenGarage in Domoticz and I am also using the Blynk app.

• opening the door works most of the time, but the reaction to the command is rather slow. URL: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cc?click=1&dkey=aaaaaaa
• closing the door doesn’t work anymore. The result is a constant beep generated by OpenGarage
• no more messages from Blynk
• Blynk doesn’t work anymore at all
• access to the webpage is extremely slow

Measuring the distance works fine though, Domoticz shows Open/Close, Car parked inside or not.

Any help is appreciated!

TIA.

Two quick suggestions:
1. try to manually trigger relay action by clicking the button (depending on when you bought OpenGarage, the button may be on the side exposed; or it may be the inside the circuit and you can click it by using a small screw driver or something long and skinny). If the relay triggers correctly manually, that means the relay and the microcontroller is working fine.
2. Perform a factory reset: press and hold the button for more than 10 seconds, then release the button.

Also, if your firmware is not the latest, I suggest that you upgrade your firmware to the latest 1.0.6.

Thanks for your suggenstions.
The problem was gone the next morning, so I didn’t have to follow your suggestions.
