The wifi on the photon is causing some noise and not allowing our garage door opener to work.
Particle photon garage door opener.
The wireless works fine.
Demonstration of a wifi garage opener using a particle photon.
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.
In addition i am creating some particle variables and functions so i can a monitor the status location of the door and b send the photon button press commands from the particle console cli command line.
Please contact me if you would like a copy of the code for this project.
I just found out that the garage door project is interfering with the car garage door buttons.
I had some problems when i moved in when my wife put a cfl in and her opener worked and mine did not i have an older car.
Also i would be willing to help anyone that is interested in doing this at their home.
So i got mine built tested and working with wemos d1 mini pro until i tried to reconnect the wires to the wall button near the door wired button that co me with the 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.
This tutorial uses a particle photon to control a relay for the garage door.
I ve started a garage door project using a photon a relay shield an internet button and an iphone or several.
