Sliding Gate Motor - Wifi control with eWeLink 1Ch Inching

This is an ultra-short video that shows how easy it is to install a 1Ch Inching WiFi switch in a Centurion D5 Evo gate motor.

The eWelink 1Ch Inching switch (previously assumed to be Sonoff) used in this video is available at www.isphome.co.za, currently priced at R175

Should you wish to install one of these switches, I have provided the steps below and in the video.

NOTE: Any and all attempts to follow the steps as depicted in the video and below are done at your own risk. You assume full responsibility for any damage that my result as a consequence. If unsure, please consult a qualified person for assistance.

1) Disconnect 220v and 12v battery to the motor to prevent short circuits ...or electrocuting yourself
2) Connect the WiFi switch's 12v- and 12v+ terminals to the corresponding terminals on the Gate Motor
3) Connect the WiFi switch's COM terminal to the corresponding terminal on the Gate Motor
4) Connect the WiFi switch's N/O terminal to the TRG terminal on the Gate Motor (on some motors, e.g. ET, the terminal is marked Bt for Button Trigger.)
5) Re-connect the battery and 220V.

Pair the WiFi switch to the router.

6) If you don't have the eWeLink app installed on your phone yet, now is the time to do so. Look for the video dealing with this if you need help.
7) Ensure that Location Services is activated on the phone.
8) On the switch, press and hold the "Match" button for 7 seconds (until the LED starts flashing), The Match button is the one closest to the centre or inside of the circuit board.
9) While the LED is flashing on the switch, click the "+" sign on the eWelink App, select Quick Pairing, select the correct WiFi SSID and enter the password... CORRECTLY.
10) once the switch is found and paired, change the name to a more user friendly name.

11) BEFORE TRYING TO OPEN GATE, change the setting to INCHING mode, which basically means that when you press the button, the switch will only switch on for a second and then off again, thereby simulating a button press.
a. In eWeLink press on the switch icon, to open the menu (not the on/off button)
b. Click on the settings icon in the top left corner to open the settings screen
i. Click on “Inching”
ii. Select 1 second as the duration
iii. Save
