For less than the price of a new remote you can follow yoyoknows s guide and get a complete iot garage door system up and running.
Photon particle setup garage door.
The first photon was used to control the door closing and opening.
We used 2 photons to regulate both parts of this project.
If you did anytime that the power went out to your particle core the garage door would open.
With this setup you can continue to control your garage door even when you are not at home.
I just found out that the garage door project is interfering with the car garage door buttons.
With this particular relay breakout it s not possible to simply wire one relay.
I had some problems when i moved in when my wife put a cfl in and her opener worked and mine did not i have an older car.
Bring power back to the garage door opener and to your photon and test.
This will allow you to know what state the garage door is in closed door opening open door closing instead of just closed or open.
The wifi on the photon is causing some noise and not allowing our garage door opener to work.
Cut one small length of wire and bridge the two relays on their common pin.
In addition i am creating some particle variables and functions so i can a monitor the status location of the door and b send the photon button press commands from the particle console cli command line.
This tutorial uses a particle photon to control a relay for the garage door.
While the second was used to notify us when the garage door was open or closed.
