RE: Detecting an open door

["BUTLER, Tony, FM" <roaming@xxxxxxx>]

That was me.  It works well enough....most of the time!

Problem would be in getting the gate open detected - if you used magnetic contacts, they usually open when the magnet moves away from the gate.  you would need them to close....

That's an idea. I do have mains right nearby - so some plug in X10

solution would also work - are there any?

You could adapt a keyfob remote maybe?  Someone here has turned on into an X10 doorbell.

Subject: [ukha_d] Detecting an open door

 

Having spent some of Sunday building a new front gate, I'd like to detect when

a person enters through it. The gate is next to the garage - both are a bit of a

walk from the house so I don't want to run wires, so any X10 powerline or RF

options?
