This was my first hardware project and instructable ever and i m sure.
Raspberry pi garage door opener with sensor.
Use a raspberry pi and a smartphone to open close and monitor a garage door.
A wifi raspberry pi connected to a 2 channel relay connected to my actual garage door remote allows me to open and close my garage door with just a browser on my smartphone.
The garage door has been in continuous use since late 2014.
In this tutorial it will be shown how to easily check the e g.
When i think of home automation with a raspberry pi controlling my garage door is the first project that comes to mind.
With a magnet attached to the garage door the pi relies on two magnetic reed switches to check the garage door s status.
Build a raspberry pi door window sensor with reed relais.
All activity is monitored and logged using the raspberry pi.
A check with infrared light barriers or other methods would certainly be possible but in this case that is much more complicated.
And the next two are the safety sensors which i left alone.
I n addition to a surveillance camera and motion sensors information about open windows and doors is also of interest to a self built surveillance system.
Status of the window with a magnetic switch.
While this has been done before i thought i d post my solution.
The seco larm sm 226l works well.
If the garage door is open when it shouldn t be then send a text message sms to a cell phone.
The two left most terminals are to control the door.
My garage door opener comes with 4 terminals.
You ll need one per garage door.
Sunfounder raspberry pi 3 model b 37 modules sensor kit v2 0 for rpi 4b 3 b 2b a zero raspberry pi board included 4 4 out of 5 stars 141 135 99 135.
The goal is to hook a raspberry pi up to my garage door opener set up some sensors to determine the state of the garage door and create a web page that will control it all.
He will easily attach the pi with garage motor by following the wires on the button and can also connect the relay exactly like that.
This instructable explains how i setup a raspberry pi to open my garage door using a smarthphone.
So i decided to build this myself.
Don t worry about the direction because the relay will isolate the circuit.
Raspberry pi garage door opener.
Opening and closing the door is secured by using self signed certificates installed on family s mobile phones.
This should come with both a magnet to mount on the garage door and a sensor to mount on the door frame.
Unlike window sensors garage door sensors typically can sense the magnet from 2 or more away.
