This post contains affiliate links. OzBargain might earn commissions when you click through and make purchases. Please see this page for more information.

I've seen a few Ozbargainers mention these in comments before as being a good option for a WiFi garage door opener. At this price I figured I'd give it a go. Price includes GST - which is added on at Payment stage. Compatible with a lot of garage door makes and models - basically if your model supports a wired button then there's a good chance it'll be compatible. There's instructions on how to check this on the webpage.
Coupons like aliex178 or aliex437 may also work to give US$4 off if you are creating a new account via social media. Didn't try so if coupon works for you - please let us know in the comments.

EDIT: I asked Wofea for a clearer Compatibility List

    Thanks OP. Grabbed one as had been waiting for the price drop after seeing the recommendations on here. Already had it ready to go in my cart too!

  • impoze on 26/01/2021 - 13:05

    Has anyone tried using it with a steel-line sectional?

    Couldn't see any manual push button and nothing in manual either.

      I got one and it works perfect. Have a lock on a ladder ontop of your unit there is a + and - input for the wires. Piss easy.

          Should be 2x + and 2x - inputs. Go for the first 2. Also for the sensor placements you can be creative.

          Hi all, sd800 and sd1200 is the same as doorworks - the OEM for both is ztgd800. My model is the doorworks 1200.

          To connect wofea wifi, you will need to open the cover and connect it as though you are installing a wall switch to the garage opener. Opening the cover should be pretty easy and straight forward.

          Put the black and red wire into GND and Key point. The GND and Key connection points are shown in page 13 of
          this manual https://www.multikoeb.dk/images/products_pdf/229081150221876…

          I was able to fit the wifi switch inside the garage opener, and traced the sensor along the middle track, while the other part of the sensor is located where manual opener is located. Appearance wise it’s hardly noticeable.

          I still haven’t mastered the software part i.e getting it to work with IFTT.

          Also, I should note it must connect to the 2.4hz wifi. I have a mesh wifi and it didn’t work untill I connected to an older wifi router.

          • impoze on 30/01/2021 - 20:27

            @RickC: great, it does look exactly the same but a much more detailed manual.

          • ekto on 15/02/2021 - 16:12

            @RickC: Thanks very much for this RickC!

            For anyone needing help with the Steel Line SD800 with the Red White Photo Eyes connection. The device does not work when you just plug it in the top ports. As mentioned above, you will need to connect it to the GND port and Key port.

            However, the circuit board mentioned on page 13 is slightly different to this model garage door. It is pretty easy to open the unit to connect the wires.

            Unlock the light cover. Take the 2 screws out and it will pop open. Connect the red wire to the little Key port near the bottom right. You may need to affix it with sticky tape to hold it together as it just goes into a small hole (you can put the red wire through the sensor port so you can close the box later). Connect the black wire to the 2nd Black port on top of the garage near the red/white photoeyes.

            It should now work. Let me know if you need help.

            Cheers.

    • klonky on 26/01/2021 - 13:42

      Would like to know too.

      I just had a look at the unit and on the top right hand side of the unit (when facing the door) there is a 240v, COM, and 2 receiver ports.

      • impoze on 26/01/2021 - 13:58

        yeah, looks like there is no push button on these models.

        • tryingtohelp on 26/01/2021 - 16:19

          Do you have its user manual?
          I looked in their website bur they haven't have any.
          Im guessing that there should have a provision of connecting wired button and the best way to locate them is to unscrew the top plate and lookfor something that can connect to the wireS
          Connect one end of wires to test and Just trip the other ends once. See of it changed the status of your garage, of so, thats the connecting sockets you need to use for this product

      • Atomik17 on 26/01/2021 - 23:25

          I just got the device and managed to make it work without using any external items or adjusting the garage remote.

            @ekto: Mind uploading some photos?

            Mine just arrived, will try set it up tomorrow

            • ekto on 15/02/2021 - 21:46

              @impoze: I knew I should have taken a photo!

              I've put it all back together now, ill try explain it a bit better. If not, I can do it tomorrow.

              Turn off the power switch to the garage door first just to be safe. Try at your own risk.

              Open the lightcover first. There is a little latch which you push in a bit.

              Once off, you will see 2 screws just to the left and right of the garage light bulb. Unscrew and then the bottom cover will come off. There will be still a wire connected from the circuit board to the cover. I just let it rest by its own weight, it should be fine.

              Before connecting any wires, put through the red wire into the hole that the Garage sensor wire is coming out from. This ensures the unit closes properly once finished.

              Now, on the circuit board, if it looks like the one in RickC's comment, then you should connect it that way.

              However, if it doesn't look like that, you will need to put it in the "Key" hole on the circuit board. If you are facing the garage door itself, this little hole will be on the bottom right of the circuit board. Use the RED wire for the "Key" Hole. I had to cut a little off the red plastic to expose more wire for a better connection. Put the wire into the key hole. I curled it like a hook to hold it in place. I then stick taped the red wire cord to the plastic inside the unit so it doesn't move.

              Now, the Black wire will just connect on top of the unit itself to the "White Photoeyes" port. Refer to picture, (https://community.garadget.com/uploads/default/optimized/1X/…)

              Turn the power back on to the wofea device and garage door.

              Once you have connected both, press the on/off button on the Wofea device. It should open.

              I set up my device with the TuyaSmart app before connecting the wires, it was just connected to the power.

          No it's not. Without a PIN it's definitely not secure. If you have any Google Home or Echo devices in your house, all anyone needs to do is shout "Hey Google, open the garage" for it to trigger.

          • walaj on 27/01/2021 - 09:33

            @trankillity: this assumes it is exposed as a door, rather than as a switch. In my case using a different but similar product, the controller is exposed as a switch, and thus it isn't possible to add a pin.

            @trankillity: Yes i do have Alexa devices all over the house, but no if you yell "Alexa, open the garage door" nothing will happen as that's nothing like what you have to say. In fact i could just have that routine send me a push notification that someone is trying to break in to the garage lol.

            You have no idea what the phrase is to open or close the garage. Plus i have cameras around the house that notifies me before you get anywhere near the garage with push notification, live automatic thumbnail camera view on all TV's, and hue lamps around the house flashing a different colour depending on camera.

      I used homebridge - paste from another post my setup

      Installed, took a bit of tinkering but works with Homebridge

      Set your wifi to 2.4 and connect device https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrKM3TrSOpA

      For Homebridge, needed to set static IP in router as it was having discovery issues:
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq0JL_wicKg -> Read comments, grant all the permissions and you will get the id and key
      And install this plugin: https://github.com/iRayanKhan/homebridge-tuya

      Example Config for plugin:
      {
      "platform": "TuyaLan",
      "devices": [
      {
      "name": "Garage",
      "type": "GarageDoor",

      }

    • boomramada on 26/01/2021 - 19:53

      You probably need a plugin like this https://github.com/AlexxIT/SonoffLAN
      but be careful when you doing automation without a sensor to see if there is anything within the door or you get a damage car or kid with bad injury.

      2. Close door automatically when you leave home and forget to close it.

      3. When you lock yourself out then don't have to call locksmith. Ask your phone to open the garage.

      4. When you get delivery and noone at home. Combine with smart door bell and open garage to keep it safe.

          It's your creation of setting. If I say, I might set up if I am away from home more than 10km and approaching my place within 100m then open thr garage.
          There are some other options too. Such as when you are moving more than 20km/h and close to home within 100m then open.
          It all depends on you.

      How easy is easy? My husband refuses to install one of these as he thinks the garage door needs replacing but I want to as I get paranoid he leaves the door open. Is it pretty dummy proof to install?

        Yes, very easy.

    Is this similar to sonoff?
    I am after one that can work with my sliding gate and garage door.

    Do you have to use it with their crappy app?

      No, use google I'd presume

    Do these work with eco garage doors?

    Been looking for something like this but I’m not super handy.

    Does anyone have a link to the compatibility garage door list? The picture in aliexpress is so blurry..

    Thanks

    Still can't figure out how to use it 😜

      Lol. I bought one 6 months ago. Still sitting in a box. I'm embracing the ozbargain spirit
