Question

Anyone have a reliable way to hook up a Mighty Mule gate opener to ST? Has to be battery operated, using solar and car battery for gate, no electrical available.  

Answer 1

Look at the MIMOlite, it will run from 12V

Answer 2

What are you attempting? Just to open and close? Or do you want to see status, etc? Are you close enough for a zigbee or ZEAVE mesh to reach?

@eboni5119 ideally both, open/close and status (status only would just be a door sensor). Yes I can get a z-wave signal there, just don't have electricity there.

@christlike if it is within that distance, personally, I would use a multi-sensor for the gate, and I would use a remote up at the house. You can use a dry contact, or you can plug a 12vdc power supply into a smart plug, and after making the button "closed", just run your power to the remote for 2 seconds for your open or closed routine.

@eboni5119 mimolite will work as a momentary dry contact output and a input (connect hall-effect sensor to input pins) all in one.

@unclothe1851 My only reservation would be whether or not it can stand the weather. But I haven't ready anything in depth. If there is a control cabinet it can go into, then awesome. otherwise, might want to build one, and hope it doesnt cause ZWAVE issues.
