This guide compares the MOES ZM-102-M, QS-Zigbee-S10-C03 and Tuya TS0603 to domotiser swing/sliding gates or garage doors with Zigbee2MQTT and Home Assistant.

🚪 Why these modules dominate gate/garage home automation

These affordable modules (12 to 25€) transform wired gate or garage door automation into home automation equipment without work: precise pulse 500 ms for opening/closing and real state feedback.

🛠 Have I tested these three pieces of equipment in detail and the others?

This comparison concludes the tests of each of the equipment, for more details on how to connect, here are the links to the 3 pages concerning these modules:

• I domotise my portal with a MOES ZM-102-M Zigbee
• I domotise my portal with a QS-Zigbee-S10-C03
• I am testing the Garage Door/Portal module TS0603 (Yellow)

Other modules?

I did not voluntarily include the Zigbee multifunction module from Nodon ref: SIN-4-1-20 because it does not have an entrance to tell us whether the portal is open or closed. It is multifunctional but to want to do too much, we can not do everything.
Without closing information of the gate (or garage), the SIN-4-1-20 can do the trick, it is always very good Nodon products.

The garage door or gate could also be equipped with the Frient IO Module 20204700 . It is an archi-polyvalent product with 4 dry contact inputs + 2 NO/NC outputs (ON/OFF or pulse) so everything can be done with it.

Beware of the power supply, it is not 220v but 6-28VDC but it is possible to have this in gate control panels, otherwise you need a transfo. It can also be powered with a micro USB connector (well thought out).

🔌 Terminal architecture: the 6 connectors explained

⚡ Impulse Output Operation (Signal Cable)

The impulse output modules are based on a Internal Relay Dry Contact which simulates a pusher to control the card automatism.

All operate identically on the basic principle, but differ in intelligence and reliability.

✅ Points common to the 3 modules

Universal step-by-step mechanism :

1. Triggering : Order via HA dashboard, Alexa ("opens the portal") or Z2M MQTT via a state:true or trigger.
2. Precise impulse : The relay closes the contact for exactly 500 ms (0.5 s) – standard duration required by 99% gate/garage cards.
3. Self-extinguishing : The relay opens automatically after 500ms.
4. Cooldown protection : Minimum break ≥500 ms before new control to protect the motors.

Key differences between modules

Exit terminals	S1-S2	L1-L2	S1-S2
Anti-spam intelligence	 markedly Yes : Ignore the pulse if the portal is already in the requested state.	❌ No : Always send	⚠ Partial : Depends on firmware
Safety break between two consecutive pulses (Cooldown)	 markedly Complete run_time 0-120s cooldown + countdown 0-43200s force	viously Basic 500ms fixed anti-spam only	 Non-native Managed by HA script (500ms delay)
Error alarms	 markedly Complete : RunTimeAlarm (>120s movement), OpenTimeAlarm (>24h open)	❌ None	 Basic (timeout only)
Pulse reliability	✎ marked markedly marked Perfect (0% failed)	viously Frequent disconnection network → missed impulses	 markedly Good, but spam can saturate

📡 State Input Operation (Sensor Cable)

This entrance is a ultra-simple on/off circuit : either closed (electrical continuity), i.e. open (cut). The module reads this state to find out if your portal is closed or open.

🔌 Entry on/off principle: open/closed circuit

The module sends :
_door _contact garage: true → Portal CLOSED
_door _contact garage: false → Portal OPEN
