# FAAC E145 Gate Connect: reconstructing EasyBoard gate commands

> FAAC E145 Gate Connect implements local control of an FAAC E145 gate through serial commands reconstructed from EasyBoard software traffic. The documentation lists POLL, OPEN, CLOSE and STOP byte sequences and describes their framing and checksum. The Python gateway adds position monitoring plus web, REST and MQTT interfaces.
