Garage Door Monitor @Raspberry_Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi
from thisoldgeek via hackster.io
There are lots of garage door monitor projects on hackster.io and other Maker sites. I wanted a project that would be extensible, to build on, for future IOT projects. Plus I wanted a platform that was well-documented and well-supported. Adafruit’s cloud service for Makers, adafruit.io, fit the requirements.
In addition, I was motivated by personal need. My nice neighbors had, once too often, called late at night to remind me the garage door was open
This is largely inspired by and based on the Adafruit IFTTT Door Detector project by Todd Treece for Adafruit, and other work as mentioned on reddit , with a few code tweaks and add-ons.
