The wifi on the photon is causing some noise and not allowing our garage door opener to work.
Particle photon garage door opener.
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.
Demonstration of a wifi garage opener using a particle photon.
Please contact me if you would like a copy of the code for this project.
Technically the project is pretty simple the most risky part for unexperienced people would be connecting the relays connection to the garage door button is straightforward since it s low voltage but connecting the garage light requires a bit more caution obviously.
This tutorial uses a particle photon to control a relay for the garage door.
The photon itself will run you about 20 and the rest of the parts for a single door will probably set you back another 10.
When wired together the wall button doesn t receive power or open or close the garage door.
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.
I just found out that the garage door project is interfering with the car garage door buttons.
I ve started a garage door project using a photon a relay shield an internet button and an iphone or several.
Also i would be willing to help anyone that is interested in doing this at their home.
The wireless works fine.
