ESP8266 Controlled Door Operator
At our office building, there is a Dorma [www.dorma.com/us/en/products/opening_closing/automatic_swing_door_operators/ed100_250_ansi/index-144-470-2757.html Automatic Swing Door Operator] which is normally engaged by a push button next to the door frame and also wirelessly from the hall way end of the door.
Pressing and waiting for the door to open is unbearable, therefore I made the decision to add a third option to the mix; operating it wirelessly from my mobile phone using the web browser.
Digital switch
The way the wired and wireless buttons are wired on the automatic door operator is fairly simple, just ground and a control signal which is pulled high (24V). Pull this control line low and the door will engage and begin to swing open.
Adding a third option is just a matter of adding a transistor between the control signal and ground; and having a controller toggle the transistor when needed.
Schematic
The system is based on a 3.3V regulator (although I used my own ESP8266 breakout board which has a 3.3V regulator, connected to a 5V regulator capable of handling 24V in), the main ESP8266-ESP01 board and a pair of PNP and NPN transistors.
Code
The code is based on Lua for NodeMCU. This code is just a sample web server code modified to wait 500ms before releasing the pull-low event.
