Diy smart garage door opener home assistant integration.
Instructables arduino garage door opener.
2 install a separate magnet switch also attention to the polarity when connecting the relay board to the garage opener.
That version just has more outputs and a longer sketch.
When the fingerprint scanner detects a match it turns the red led green and the applies 5v to the left prong of the transistor which switches and applies 0v to the positive terminal on the garage door.
If you can build this you can build the back door deadbolt version.
A freetronics etherten or other network capable arduino board this is the brains of the operation.
Turn your normal garage door smart using this diy project.
Using 2 micro controllers 2 boards communicating with a personal protocol it really is over engineered but useful nonetheless.
Just for two or tree doors.
The green wires going from the relay will be connected to the screws on the back of the button that opens the garage.
The wires from the garage button mounted on the wall should be 15v if not message me and ill help you may need to change wiring and the program a bit.
I will show you how to build it and control it using home assistant over mqtt and have the ability to remotely open and close your garage door i will be using an esp8266 board called wem.
This project is much simpler than the rfid deadbolt opener and would be a good one to start with.
Welding it must be so as shown in the illustration below.
These wires should remain in the terminals of the garage door.
Arduino rfid garage door opener.
Garage door opener via mobile phone and rfid.
1 make a circuit divider with 2 resistors.
In this project we will be using the power of rfid to tap into your garage door opening system.
Our own network enabled garage door opener controlled with an arduino.
It hosts the web page you connect to when you want to open the door and triggers the garage door opener via the relay when the correct password is entered.
If this all looks intimidating try starting out with the numerous tutorials on instructables and www arduino cc.
Check out this project on.
The diode should be there to help the relay.
If this one is too higher than 5v you will have 2 choices.
Use your multi meter to check the input of your garage door.
Always put the esp8266 gnd to the garage motor operner gnd or common.
The diodes keep the high voltage from damaging the arduino board 3.
If you like to tinker with electronics arduino will open up a new world of fun and exciting possibilities.
