This tutorial uses a particle photon to control a relay for the garage door.
Photon particle setup garage door.
Once it is wired according to the circuit diagram and in parallel with your garage door button your push button switch on your smartphone will control the garage just as your wall switch does.
With this particular relay breakout it s not possible to simply wire one relay.
Cut one small length of wire and bridge the two relays on their common pin.
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.
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.
With this setup you can continue to control your garage door even when you are not at home.
While it s an unlikely scenario it s not so far fetched to not provide a solution.
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.
I just found out that the garage door project is interfering with the car garage door buttons.
Bring power back to the garage door opener and to your photon and test.
The wifi on the photon is causing some noise and not allowing our garage door opener to work.
While the second was used to notify us when the garage door was open or closed.
We used 2 photons to regulate both parts of this project.
The first photon was used to control the door closing and opening.
