Chicken house door controller (beta)
-
Hi guys. I have just finished a chickenhouse and am in the throes of automating the door. It will be controlled by domoticz and I plan to open 1/2 hour after sunrise and close 1/2 hour after sunset. The door will be driven by an electric antenna from the car wreckers, 12V battery and solar panel/controller.
There are two reed switches to tell position of the door plus a button to manually open/close or reset a jam (for increased WAF).
I have included in the sketch a bit to jiggle the door if it gets stuck, and turn off the actuator and send an alert to domoticz if the jam cannot be freed.
I have yet to try it out as am waiting on the usual final component I only realised I would need once I started building (buck converter).
Anyway code is below. mfalkvidd has kindly looked at it for me already. I believe it should work but am open to critiquing on any part of my coding including conventions.
Thanks,
