Building the Adapter

After you procured an GDoor adapter (Buy) you need to:

  1. Solder the ESP32mini pin headers into the ESP32 mini
  2. Plug the ESP32mini into the GDoor adapter.

Warning:

Be aware of the orientation! The USB port of the ESP32mini needs to point to the side with the bus connector.

Initial Setup

With the fully build GDoor hardware you can get started to connect it to the bus:

  1. Connect the adapter via USB to your PC.
  2. Flash the GDoor adapter firmware via our Web Installer
  3. After the firmware is flashed, the adapter will create a WiFi called GDOOR.
  4. Connect to it with the password 12345678
  5. Once connected, you can surf to 192.168.4.1 and setup the connection to your home WiFi and all needed MQTT settings like:
    • MQTT Broker Network Address
    • MQTT Username & Password (both optional)
    • MQTT topic where door bus data is send to
    • MQTT topic, to which the adapter subscribes and sends received data onto the bus
  6. After successfully setting up the adapter, you can connect it to the Gira TKS Bus. The bus polarity does not matter as the bus adapter automatically connects the right way.
  7. You can disconnect your computer via USB, but the adapter needs to be powered by either the USB bus, or the dedicated and labeled pins with a good 5V, min. 1A power supply.

Connection Warning

Be careful if you connect an external 5V supply via the dedicated pins, ensure correct polarity and voltage levels! Do not connect the bus to this input!
