Linus! I can make your relay board work! (The Garage Door)

Ok so Electro boom is right about the long wires being an issues.  But hes wrong about the solution.  You don't want a filter, you just need a either a transistor or a mosfet depending on the signal the board is using.  I'm going to assum you have an extra board for the controller as you had it out while the system was on the wall?  So DM me for the address and send it to me.  I'll rig up a micro circuit that the relay can trigger and send it back free of charge.  Its SUCH and each fix! I can even build it with a jack in the housing if you have a spare housing you can send.  That way the relay just plugs into it.

 

 

Oh as evidence of my bonofides I give you my gaming/engineering deck at home......  See attached

To be clear I would been the control board for the garage door with the button, you know where you added the wires.  I wouldn't need the relay board.

He more than likely wont see this here. Twitter might be your best bet. I've never tried to contact him though, so I don't know. Also adding the tag so he has a higher chance. 

Would be cool to see a community member fix it that easily!

 

@LinusTech

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

If you want to increase the odds of Linus actually seeing this, it might help to tag him @LinusTech (which I guess I already did for you). You could also post a reply to the official thread for the video, which LMG staff are much more likely to monitor:

 

Edit: And as @IkeaGnome pointed out, Twitter would likely be a better way of getting in touch with Linus if this doesn't work

I mostly speak from my own past experience from similar problems. My solution may not work for you, but I'll always try my best to help as much as I can. If you want me to see your reply, make sure to quote my comment or mention me @WaggishOhio383, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Hey thanks! I'm actually moving soon so I'll explore all my options when we get into the new place and have a look at what openers are in there. It's possible they will have the older style again and I can just go back to simple relays without any kajiggering.

New house? So that means we get new versions of all those home upgrade videos I binged on over lockdown!

He's spending money on something, so he's gonna milk it as hard as if it was the last cow on the planet (or almond, or whatever people get milk from these days).

Wow, moving after all that work you put into the place? I mean just putting the AC in the place was a lot of work, not to mention all the million other things you did. I could not imagine moving after putting so much work into the place. I do guess there's the possibility of yet again doing a whole bunch of home improvement videos again. So looking forward to those 🙂 (I always find those extra fun!)

Does Linus live in the ghetto? Who's going to break into his car then go to his house and break in with the garage door opener?
