Urgent help please adding keypad to electric gate

Looks like you need a NO dry relay in a keypad that runs on 12vac? NO contact goes across "OPEN" on the controller. I assume when this is shorted the gates will open? You could test it out...

Issue would be how to get the gates to shut after a period of time? Unless this is not required? Maybe there is a keypad that counts down on a timer and will then blip a relay that could be wired across "CLOSE"? Otherwise you could manage it using a multifunction timer of some sort.
Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? They may be able to recommend something...
Thanks. Currently the gate does not auto close and needs to stay the same.

Do you just want the gate to open using a keypad? Is it OK the gate then stays open until shut on the fob etc? Basically any keypad will do that. Just needs a dry pulsed NO contact which pretty much every keypad does. Get one that can run on 12vac as you have that available in the controller.

Thanks. the controller is 24v though looking at the image or is that just to drive the gates?
Yes. Just want to open and close the gate separately as it currently does. The current wiring configuration does this on the sbs set of terminals being used. I think i just need to put another pair of wires in there and the keypad will make a temporary short across them using the n/o relay
