Rpi garage door opener web page button.
I am using a raspberry pi3b gpio pins to control a relay board which simulates someone pressing the garage door opener on the wall.

While this has been done before i thought i d post my solution.
So now i wondered if we could make this board interact with a raspberry pi so that it could be activated over the network.

I had to buy a new garage door opener remote because my old remote s button had disintegrated and no longer worked.
I ve written enough software and played with a raspberry pi long enough that this was a fairly simple project.
Where i started a simple button to command the relay.
Raspberry pi garage door opener.
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.
One image is the background remote background jpg and the other is the active image remote press jpg.
This was my first hardware project and instructable ever and i m sure.
I tapped into the buttons on the wall and ran a pair of wires to the relayboard and connected them to common and normally open.
In the image above a high resolution genie garage opener was used a raspberry pi logo was added and the led was removed.
After only writing software for many years in web development creating something that interacts with the real world was a special kind of excitement for me when i saw it.
Here we have created a web server using flask which provides a way to send the commands from webpage to raspberry pi to control the robot over the network.
The cabling i use now is still the same for the command part.

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.
I was curious if the board itself could still be activated and sure enough when i hit both pins on the board with a wire the garage door opened.
Modify the image as you would like using mac paintbrush.
The project also lets users send a command to the door thus enabling you to.
No open close buttons no feedback.
It was anyway very helpful to understand the concept around dedicated rpi to control a motor from a relay.
This tutorial assumes you have the gpio binding installed and have already gotten that working for other items.
In addition to using a raspberry pi the project uses two sensors to determine whether or not the garage door is open.
