PC Help with automatic doors

[SittingDuck]

Hi, I tried to use a automatic Door with two motion detectors. But i can connect only one.

so how can I open it from two sides???? Any Ideas or tips?

Connect the first motion sensor with the second one and the second one with the door. The signal is passed through.

Yea it's not very intuitive. Like Ripclaw said Power->relays->sensor #1 on one side of door->sensor #2 on other side of door->powered door.

Whats nice is unlike past Alphas it seems is you can branch more than 1 line off a device to another device. So one power relay or timer or whatever can be branched off to several other devices in the area. Not sure when they added that in but its nice.

what we need is reverse power (auto CLOSING doors) because that would add so many interesting things to build (i mean, you can do it in a roundabout way with 2 battery banks with different charges but thats a loophole, not a feature)

Thx i will try that... actually i had it with triggerplates and a motionsensor... and wondered why the plates triggered without the motionsensor to go off... putting a Powerrelay between fixed that... I guess because the relays consumes 1 Watt.
