How to Install RATGDO on Liftmaster Swing Gates
In this video, we tackle the installation of the Rage Against the Garage Door Opener on a Liftmaster Swing Gate (LA400). This gate was a bit tricky and I want to say that this did not work for me the first time I tried. I've been having to figure this out myself for a few weeks and have filmed this install a few different times, hopefully I've cut it in a way that makes the most sense! There are variations to the gates and boards available. I call out an alternative if you have a gate that doesn't look like mine or doesn't have the same options. If you have the expansion board, you should look for the "SBC" button and "AUX. RELAYS". If you want to read more about how I figured this out and how others are getting it to work on their gates, check this HomeAssistant forum post. https://community.home-assistant.io/t...
