  • Tips for Vevor, co-z and several other china brand name sliding gate openers. I have had this opener for a few years and has been good for the money. Note my gate is 30 foot long, homemade and pretty heavy.

    Really cool video. Do you have a video on your gate specifically? I have a similar setup and have been looking at ways to automate it without using a track across my driveway. Looks like you solved that.

      I don’t have a video on it but I just made some wheels from old idler pulleys off of engines you can buy legit gate pulleys but they are pretty pricey

    did you try with wifi switch? do you know if its possible to put a switch inside this motor and then operator it via phone app? Also if the answer is yes, can it work with any wifi connection or does it have to be 2.4 ghz wifi connection only? I know that most wifi switches wont work with over 2.4 ghz wifi connection

      Vevor has another opener that looks just like this one that does have the Wi-Fi control built in so you can use your phone. It cost more so I didn’t buy it so I don’t have any experience with one

    hi, thanks for the great video can you tell me if there is a possibility to install a light signal when opening and closing the gate?

      I just checked voltages on the board I didn’t find anything suitable to run a light while the gate is moving thats a really good idea though i would like that myself

      There is no reset might try pulling the cover and hitting the cycle switch if nothing happens try pulling the release lever and sliding the gate manually an make sure it isn’t binding

      I think if there is tension on the chain it will be hard to pull the lever maybe disconnect the chain

    What is better in your opinion? Rail version or chain version of this fence? I have possibility for both. But I am unsure what to pick. Thanks.

    • @simplytinkerdad
      @simplytinkerdad  4 місяці тому +1

      I think the chain version would be best for the most part because it is very easy to set up and maintain. The rail one is probably good too just my opinion

      Buttons 1 and 2 for opening and closing one button is for stop the other is for continue. The remote rang is pretty far the only thing I dislike about the opener is its not very fast

      @@simplytinkerdad So this is 370W version? I don't know if 550 or 750W would be any faster? I think that speed would remain same due to gear ratio. In other words it probably has to be slow.
