Opener: No auto Lock after some seconds

Open Marfre888 opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Hi,

I have just installed this plugin. So far it's working great.

I have a gate at my property which I use the opener for. I've noticed that the default for this plugin is to set the tile back to the locked position after a few seconds of being opened.

Is it possible to stop it from doing that? I have a door sensor connected to it, and I'd like to set the locked state when the gate is actually closed, so I know if the gate has been left open or not if it is ever accidentally triggered by homekit.

Thanks.

I dont know if this makes sense, as the Opener is meant to be for beeing used as a door buzzer. The nature of it is to "close" automatically. But I get that some people use the Opener for other purposes. Technically this should be no problem.

I was using homebridge-nuki plugin before, and I had asked for that feature a while back, and it was implemented successfully. However it seems that that plugin is no longer maintained, so I want to move to something updated regularly.

The way I use it currently is that the Opener remains open in Homekit, and when I close the gate this triggers an automation thanks to a door/window sensor attached to the gate, which closes the lock. It has never failed me in the year I've been using it

I get your point, thats why I didnt close as "wontfix".

Btw.: I am watching the plugin "homebridge-nuki" and the discussion in the latest issue ;-)
