Well done!!! :thumbsup:thumbsup I use to be addicted as well. Even after the cravings pass, I still find myself wanting the the motion and action of smoking. Very strange I know. Our family did a whole crazy health journey last year and part of thaf was to start using essential oils. I learned...

For those using solar power to charge their doors, what is the wattage size of the panels you are using? I'm currently using 1.8W and seeing that I may need to change to a bigger unit to meet the demands.

jthornton, thank for the support on this. I think I might have finally solved the riddle, again:lau If the door remains working...here’s what I did 1) Utilized electrical connectors for all points of contact 2) verified my timing setting was “on” day and “off” at night 3) through monitoring...

Thanks for the reply. I have a 12v 7 amp battery. Yes, all the parts are 12v. You assumed correctly, I did only check voltage but was able to watch the voltage drop. I’ll also do the check you mentioned for a spark. By wiring the actuator, you mean to wire it so that the control timer is “off”...

Seems like I might be odd chicken out on here and keep having issues!! Haha Alright so everything works as it should. Door opens and closes per the timer. However, my battery keeps draining dead. I’ve realized through the help of a volt meter that my actuator has a continual draw on the system...

Sigh...and BIG slice of humble pie. The problem was that I had installed the wires on the opposite ends of the relay. Looking at the relay without removing the socket I believed I had the ends correctly identified. I removed the socket and realized I had them flipped. Everything works...

Also, when I do “manual” on the timer. I can only get it to perform in one direction, “close”. In order to “open”, i have to switch the wires at the battery

Thanks for the quick reply! I am using the battery/solar. I am able to get the actuator to go up and down by switching polarization. Direct wire to the battery. I am also able to get the timer to work when programmed to have the actuator go one way (close). I can’t seem to have the timer...

Hey! I have all the pieces and attempted the install today. However, I can't seem to get the actuator to move when routed through the timer/relay. When the timer hits the program set, it clicks on and I can hear it going through the relay but nothing happens with the actuator. I'm going to...

This is DIY door is awesome. Anyone convert the power source to a battery?
