I wired the DPDT relay as follows:
1 was connected to 3
2 was connected to 4
1 and 2 were also wired out to power source and timer 1.
5 and 6 are wired out to motor.
7 and 8 are wired out to power source and timer 2.
Timer 1 controls the flow of current to motor.
Timer 2 controls the opening and closing of the relay coil, which controls the polarity of the current to the motor. So, lets say if timer 2 turns on at 4am on Wednesday, and timer 1 turns on at 5am, the door will open. If timer 2 turns off at 6am, and stays off until 4am Thursday morning, when timer 1 turns on again at 7pm Wednesday, the door will close.
As I write this out, I am afraid I haven't thought out the jobs of the switches carefully enough after the new wiring for the relay. I will have to think about this tonight to see if something has to be changed in order for the motor to stop once the door has been closed or opened.
