Marantec garage door opener=>coco,z-wave or other ideas?

Questions & Help

Hi everybody,

I have a garage door from marantec that i want to control from homey. The remotes are based on rts and use the 868 Mhz frequence+rolling codes. Since the same installer installed my rollershutters/veluxwindows (and knew exactly why i wanted iomotors) , i assumed the door would also have a somfymotor or be compatible with the connexoon io, but it isnt… anyone has an idea that can help me?

On the motorunit it states it works with maveo, wich is a bridge that works on the nymea-protocol. I cant find anythingh at the homeyappstore atm, and i assume if someone develops it that i need to buy the maveobridge anyway?

In the manual i saw theres also an impulse switch-input. Im thinking to connect some relay there. On this moment everything in my house is connected by zigbee or the io-bridge (somfy connexoon), so i need a new protocol then since i cant find any zigbeeswitch a potentialfree relay.

I found the amu-500 from trust coco (former kaku) on the maual from trust i see its posible to use as dooropener, but on the latest kakumanuel it specifically states you can’t use it to open/close doors with it for safetyreasons… so im having doubts on using it.

I also found the fibaro FIBEFGS-222, so im guessing thats the best alternative?

Peehaps there is a better way i don’t see atm, in that case i hope someone here has the solution.

The best place for me to install the relay would be in this outletbox, but as you see thats in the environment of the metal parts of the gate.

Don’t know if this will help you or if you’ve figured it out already, but maybe something from my issue may be able to help.

I ended up having two different brands of garage door openers, Marantec and LiftMaster. This led to breaking MyQ functionality, having two remotes (one for each), and a keypad that only controlled one garage. I don’t like Marantec’s Maveo UI so I did didn’t want to add that functionality to my LiftMaster via an adapter. I struggled and now have a fully working configuration for those of you trying to add smart control to a Marantec Synergy 380 garage opener using the Meross MSG200 and Linear MDR/U with paired universal two button remotes for two different brands of GDO.

:white_check_mark: What Works:

Garage door opens/closes via Meross app

Linear MDR/U and paired universal receiver remote(s)

Wireless Marantec wall button opens/closes (including light control)

:cross_mark: The original wired wall control cannot be used in this application
:cross_mark: You lose the “lock” button function from the original wall control

:wrench: Wiring Instructions:

Power off the garage door opener by unplugging it or turning off surge strip (if you have this set up).

Locate the wall control terminals on the Synergy 380 opener.

Disconnected the wires from the wall control.

Connect both the Linear MDR/U and the Meross MSG200 in parallel to these terminals:

Linear MDR/U: Use the two screw terminals to connect the low voltage wire to the Synergy 380.

Meross MSG200: Connect the red and black wires, polarity doesn’t matter according to their instructions.

Make sure you’ve secured the wiring, then restore power to the opener.

Pair the universal remote to the Linear MDR/U receiver (per the instructions of both remote and Linear), and test it.

Test the Meross app to confirm you can open and close the door.

Install and test the Marantec wireless wall control station. It should allow door and light control, just like the original wired unit. (follow Marantec’s instructions for pairing)

:warning: Reminder:

  • Do not connect the original wired wall control – it conflicts with dry contact operation.

Wireless wall station only!

  • Keep your safety sensors installed for UL compliance.

If you’re frustrated or stuck like I was, I hope this helps.
