Hi folks
A complete novice here in this field .
I Really need some help in finding a way to control a linear actuator open and close a cupboard door via either infrared or maybe an x10 home automation module (as already using x10 for automation).
The linear actuator is from frigelli and only has a red and black wire which i can connect to a 12 v supply and it opens then if i reverse the wires the door closes.
I already have a couple of x10 modules which have a relay (um7206 module) using these would be ideal as they are not being used.
I tried to connect this module and it opens the actuator fine but i have to swap the wires over by hand then press on the module for it to close.
How can i have it so the polarity is switced automatically?
Hope someone can help
