A - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1: OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
• Read this entire manual before starting the
installation.
• Do not allow children to operate the product.
• Do not install this product outside a waterproof
housing
• Switch off the circuit breaker before working on
the product
2: WARNING
This product has been designed to control a dry
contact for a gate or garage door motor drive. Any
other use of the device shall not be covered by the
warranty or technical support. Avidsen cannot be
held liable for any use that does not comply with
the instructions in this manual and causes damage.
Children should be supervised to make sure that
they do not play with the device.
The operating principle of the connected contactor
triggers the motor drive based on a programmed
scenario; said trigger is not necessarily the user
(time condition, activation of another device, etc.)
It can also be used for remote triggering, without
direct visual access to the motor drive.
The specifications of the EN12453 standard enable
the 3 following use cases of the drive, as well as the
minimum levels of protection:
- Press activation with visible gate
Minimum level of protection: Force limiter only.
- Press activation with non-visible gate
Minimum level of protection: Force limiter and 2
pairs of photocells to protect the gate’s opening and
closing.
- Automatic control (automatic closure)
Minimum level of protection: Force limiter and 1 pair
of photocells to protect the gate’s automatic closing
Care should therefore be taken to ensure that
the motor drive installation is protected by the
equipment required for this purpose.
The Avidsen company may not be held liable
for any injury or property damage caused by the
triggering of the motor drive by the contactor.
3: MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
The outside of the housing may have to be cleaned
from time to time.
• Switch off the circuit breaker before working on
the product.
• Do not use abrasive substances, substances
containing alcohol, thinners or other flammable
substances.
• Do not spray any product directly onto the unit.
4: RECYCLING

This logo denotes that devices no longer
in use should not be disposed of as
household waste. They are likely to
contain hazardous substances that are
dangerous to both health and the
environment. Return the equipment to
your local distributor or use the recycling collection
service provided by your local council.

B - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1 - CONTENTS OF THE KIT
This product can operate any gate and garage door motor drive, provided said motor drive is equipped with
a dry contact control input. This product only has one dry contact output. Therefore your wiring will determine
the complete or partial opening of the gate (pedestrian mode). For the product to work, it must have a WiFi
connection.

EN 12
F - USING THE PRODUCT
1 - USE VIA THE APPLICATION
Warning: Thanks to the position of the magnets,
the contactor can indicate whether or not your gate
is closed. When the app indicates that the gate is
open, it means that the two magnets are no longer
in contact with each other. This does not however
guarantee that the gate is actually completely
open. In the event of faulty operation (e.g.: obstacle
detection, motor error, etc.), if the gate remains ajar
the contactor cannot be held responsible.
IMPORTANT: The dry contact signal is the same
whether the opening or closing of the gate is
triggered. The contactor will take into account the
last command given as well as the position of the
magnets to determine the current command to be
displayed in the app.
However, control logics are specific to each
manufacturer and subject to different settings.
Therefore the contactor does not know exactly the
operating status of the gate motor drive when it is
moving, or what the control logic will require the
motor drive to do when a new command is given.
As a result, it is possible that the gate may move in
the opposite direction to what the app is indicating.
(e.g.: automatic closing activated, motor drive
behaviour after a switch to safety mode, “stop”
command while in motion, control by a third party
device, etc.). In any event, wait until the end of the
app’s display to determine the status of the gate
(closed or not closed).

6Time programming of contact triggers
Press the command trigger button in the app. The
contactor will send the command order to the
motor drive. The opening or closing display will start
within the given deadline. If your motor drive fails to
complete its cycle within the determined operating
time, go to the Alarm setting (2), then close
reminder. Adjust the cycle time of your automatic
gate.
When the determined operating time is exceeded, if
the magnets did not separate during opening, or if
the magnets did not come together during closing,
the app displays this message.
2 - USING THE PRODUCT WITH GOOGLE
HOME
Note: the name you give your Avidsen Home
devices is the one that will be recognised by Google
Assistant.
Example: if you have a contactor named “gate”, “OK
Google, open gate” will work, whereas “OK Google,
open motor drive” may not trigger
anything.

UNIVERSAL CONNECTED CONTACTOR
EN13
F - USING THE PRODUCT
Google Assistant can help you control your
connected devices.
For example, you can use the following
commands:
- “OK Google” Open gate.
- “OK Google” Close gate.
- “OK Google” Open garage.
- “OK Google” Close garage.
For more information on device names or creating/
linking a room, please consult Google support.
A word of advice, however. In order to avoid
unwanted commands if you connect several
modules in one area, we recommend that you avoid
using a group name suggested by Google Home
(bedroom, office, living room, etc.) when naming
your command module.
In the event of problems with the Google Home
application or configuration of the device in Google
Home, contact Google support.
The setting up procedure depends on your
smartphone and requires an Internet connection:
2.1 IF YOU HAVE AN ANDROID SMARTPHONE
WITH GOOGLE ASSISTANT
The following information may vary
depending on updates to the Google Home app or

“gate”, “Alexa open gate” will work, whereas “Alexa
open automatic system” may not trigger anything.
The following information may vary depending on
updates to the Alexa app or your operating system.
The Amazon Alexa Assistant can help you control
your connected devices.
For example, you can use the following
commands:
- “Alexa” Open gate.
- “Alexa” Close gate.
- “Alexa” Open garage
- “Alexa” Close garage.
Download and install the Amazon Alexa app from
the Play Store or Apple store.

application or configuration of the device in Amazon
Alexa, contact Amazon support.
4 - SCENARIO AND AUTOMATION
4.1 SCENARIO
The scenario system in the Avidsen Home app
allows you to group actions that will be triggered
on demand, by clicking on a single button on your
smartphone.
Example: creating an “I’m going” scenario to turn
off my smart plug and activate motion detection on
my camera:
Click on at the bottom of the screen, then on
Scénario (Scenario) at the top left and, finally, on
Ajouter un scénario (Add a scenario):

automation that has already been saved and enable
or disable it while the new scenario is running.
4.2 - CREATING AN AUTOMATION
The automation system in the Avidsen Home
app allows you to group devices and actions which
will be triggered automatically
by the action of another device or a condition
(temperature, time, etc.) .
Example: creating a “Gate opening” automatic
action that triggers a contact at a given time, only if
the gate is in closed position.
The automation system in the Avidsen Home app
allows you to group devices and actions which will
be triggered automatically by the action of another
device or a condition (temperature, time, etc.) .
Example: creating a “Living room lighting” automatic
action that turns on the light for a few seconds when
a movement is detected by the camera:
Click on and then on Automatisation
(Automation) at the top right, and finally on Ajouter

- If Temperature = x ET (AND) time = y ET
(AND) device = n then…
• Lorsque l’une des conditions est remplie
(When one of the conditions is met)
corresponds to a “OU” (“OR”) function:
- If Temperature = x OU (OR) time = y OU (OR)
device = n then…
