Light roof automation

[rodrigol]

The weather has been unforgiving. Wet and/or windy. I purchased a rolling gate motor last year but never had time to install it and test various points to get good relative tracking and maximum roof opening. Some minor adjustments still to do. The whole structure is solid without being too rigid. Smooth operation thus far...

Very smooth indeed!

Merlin. No idea. Its playing on all the browsers I tried.

Excellent piece of rack & pinion drive automation, quiet and will not wake the neighbours. That is if you have any. Looks so rural.

As silent as possible was one of the conditions. Obviously, if I had managed to place the motor and the track inside, it would be quieter, but that would have meant loosing about 30-40cm opening space. I'm not quite there with full automation but I already have the IFTTT switches. The whole project makes up for the lack of clear skies lately 😁

Thanks for the comments!

Me too (using Firefox). However, it works fine in Chrome.

Cool !
