Re: Automating Wrought Iron Gates

["Ben Geach" <BenUKHA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try these people http://www.autogate.co.uk/
(No association/connection or anything . . . !)

They have motor kits . . to install yourself.

I would think twice about X10 . . you dont want someone to open your gate
with a
palmpad! The kits above have a secure RF transmitters (rather like car
alarm remotes)
but I guess you can always hack a transmitter and use a X10
controlled contact closure (as Phil Harris said)  to make the button
connection on
remote to open gates.

HTH :)
