E8 400MM Stainless Automatic Gate Opener how to automate?
Just got done installing this unit at my home, with the dual arm gate. Works flawless! Love it, highly recommend for the price point. Now... The real question is, how do I automate this bad larry!? Control box seems to have a million options and ports just wondering what to use and what device to make it work. Figuring a window sensor to let me know when the gate is being opened and closed and some sort of on/off switch to make the gate actuate?
Currently using the key pad with cards and pin codes and also the IR remote that works off the IR controller in the box. Here it is on amazon to get a better idea.

Yeahh, these new automatic gate openers tend to give you that kind of trouble. I have a similar one as well, and I installed it just like you did, and it worked nicely. I remember I had it all working, and I didn't know how to connect it to my home program so that I would be able to open it with my phone. I contacted a company called https://everlastgates.com/ , and they walked me through the whole process. I suggest you give them a call, and maybe they will help you sort things out and get your automatic gate opener working as advertised on the website.
