Hello all - I would really appreciate some advice please.
I am conducting the groundworks to install a 6m opening "Hi Motion" sliding cantilever electric gate (9m length in total).
I have to commission an electrician to make it all happen but the client has asked for a cabled means to have the gate open before they arrive at the gate.
I am installing a electricity kiosk within their land at the top of the lane (and the gate is 250m down the road - which is heavily wooded so wireless could be an issue)
What I was thinking was to install a sensor at the top of the hill by the kiosk so that as the client approaches by car they can slow and bleep the sensor and then by the time they get down the lane to the gate it will hopefully be open ready for access with no waiting for the gate to get out of the way.
Please advise what you all think would be the best solution to achieve this (p.s I will have an open trench to take power down the hill to the gate from the kiosk so could install a further cable etc but would it work over that kind of distance - approx. 250m)
A phone app would also not work as reception onsite is terrible.
Thank you all in advance for all your help
