# gate open

This block is part of the [`globals`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/globals) group and was last modified in core [`v15.0.0`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/150000).

Opens a gate or garage door.

- flow `v15.0.0` `flow`

- device `v15.0.0` `value` Device id, native address, or exact device name. Leave empty to use the device picked on the block.

- flow `v15.0.0` `flow`

- ok `v15.0.0` `condition` True when the command reached the device.

- device `v15.0.0` `object` The device the command was sent to.

- error `v15.0.0` `value` Empty on success. HOMEASSIST_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND, HOMEASSIST_DEVICE_NOT_ADOPTED, HOMEASSIST_CAPABILITY_UNSUPPORTED or HOMEASSIST_NOT_AVAILABLE.

Opens a gate. Same underlying command as door unlock, named separately because a gate and a door read differently in a flow and a picker. On a controller where a gate is a momentary relay, this pulses it.
