    I warmly welcome.
    I plan to install a Somfy SGS 400 set and an intercom. The intercom I am interested in requires a separate power supply to the electric strike and I wonder if it is possible to connect it to the SGS 400 control panel? I see a 24V connector in it, but I have not found any information in the manual on the use of this connector.

    This connector is used to power external accessories such as a radio receiver. How do you imagine controlling the bolt from it?

    The bolt will be controlled by an intercom. I have put together an example diagram of one of the intercoms I am browsing. Instead of installing an additional power supply on it, could I replace it with a power supply from the SGS 400 controller?

    As a last resort, I will. In my case, it involves forging and inserting a box in the wall under the intercom where I can hide the power supply, or mount it outside the building (maybe it will fit in the SGS 400 controller housing), so I wanted to avoid it.
    If the 24V connector gives voltage to the antenna, it will work non-stop, regardless of whether the gate is currently being opened or not?

    Not to the antenna, you can connect a radio receiver and other things there, yes - the voltage is still (unless they turn off the electricity), if the bolt can work at 24V, you can, as a last resort, power it from the gate control unit.

    I would be more careful with such advice ...
    This 15 watts (max) is a little more than 0.6A. How do you know what Ez will be used? Most of those at 24V theoretically charge from 0.1A to 0.3A, but in the event of a failure (short circuit, welding of the coil or use of another "strange" invention) the control panel may fry (and the warranty may not work)
    In addition, these control panels often fall by themselves (power supply of the converter-capacitors) and then the guests will neither come nor enter, they will have to be introduced ... :D
    One more thing. Powering E with direct current can also be troublesome, because apart from a silent click, you cannot hear that it is working.
    It is definitely better to install a small 10 watt transformer (not a power supply) for 12 V and a suitable electric strike.

    Sure, got it.
    Only what is obvious to us is an axiom for less experienced people.
    And then there is "hanging dogs" on our forum, because "experts from Elektrody advised me so" ...
    Therefore, in this type of advice, it is worth developing the concept of "as a last resort", so that everyone would be satisfied and instructed about the consequences of such solutions, etc.

    Thanks for all the suggestions. Considering the above, I decided to give up this idea and bought an intercom that does not require an additional power supply. The bolt gets power from the external panel of the intercom.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around connecting a 24V electric strike lock to a Somfy SGS 400 control panel. The user inquires about utilizing the 24V connector on the SGS 400 to power the electric strike, which is required for their intercom system. Responses highlight that while the connector is intended for external accessories, it may be possible to power the electric strike from the control panel as a last resort. However, concerns are raised regarding the power limitations of the control panel and potential risks, such as short circuits. Ultimately, the user decides to opt for an intercom that does not require an additional power supply, allowing the electric strike to receive power directly from the intercom's external panel.
