Moving from stock ratgdo

If you have not used the stock ratgdo firmware, and are starting with a fresh install of the ESPHome based firmware, skip these steps.

• Use the Logs & Console to view and make note of the current rolling code
• Flash the new ESPHome based firmware using the Web Installer
• Use the number entity in Home Assistant or the built-in ESPHome web-server to set the rolling code.

Fresh install when the stock ratgdo firmware was not used before

• Flash the new ESPHome based firmware using the Web Installer

First use

The ESPHome firmware will allow you to open the door to any position after calibration. To calibrate the door, open and close it once without stopping.

Updating from versions older than 2023.07.07

When updating from older versions, save the rolling counter value and restore it via the number entity after flashing the new firmware. If you forget to save the code, check the Home Assistant history.
