Hello,
Just for inspiration purpose here is a how to make it possible to make a automatic garagedoor opener/closer by just driving on or leaving your driveway.
Note: I had to split the preparation and automation information into 2 seperate posts because I got errors in the editor
Usecase: previously when I arrived at home with my bike and wanted to store it in the garage I had to come off the bike and open the door of my house to go to the garagedoor switch to open the garagedoor. This was very inconfinient, especially in raining conditions. Same story when leaving.
So that brought my up to a idea of make a automation in which I would have no need to step off the bike or even push any buttons.
Preparation
I had to open some bodywork of the NC for installing a Android Auto display for navigation purpose, so that gave me a opportunity to make some more adjustments. As a home automation enthousiast en familiar with the subject I first looked around on this form to see a possibility for a switched output. On this link I saw a lot of info. thanks @CapeMan for the provided info. After reading his thread I was happy to see with the auxiliary harness that besides a switched output there also was a blue wire for switched power when a High Beam was active. So at that moment I thought, well, if I have a device which sends a signal to the garagedoor when the High Beam is pushed that gives me a opportunity to make it possible to open the door by pushing the high beam switch. To my suprise my bike didn't had the switched blue wire on the auxiliary connector . See picture on the left. So I kept looking for other possibilities. For my navigation display I saw that in the powersplit wire that came with the auxiliary wiring for my fog lights and 12v socket 1 of the 3 splitted wires was not used. So I bought the connectors mentioned in CapeMan's post, see link above, and made a wiring box to connect it to the wires of the navigation unit. See the black round wire with in the top of the photo a grey plastic piece of the wiring box.
Looking for a alternative switched wire for the high beam I found it on the connector on the left side of the bike (If I remember, see picture, the black wire with green lining. Thanks @Marcin NC750XD for his post with more info, see this link
Important notice: this is not the direct headlamp connector mentioned in Marcin his post but a connector of the whole switch unit which includes the high beam wire.
So now I had a switched power for in the grey box for:
A. my new navigation unit
B. A device that could purpose as a garagedoor opener.
+
C. 5v to 0v power if the High Beam switch is pushed.
