Rpi Garage Door Opener Web Page Button

This tutorial assumes you have the gpio binding installed and have already gotten that working for other items.

Rpi garage door opener web page button.

So i got rid of the other two buttons that i never used from the camera page and added a garage door button that called a php script that opened the garage door on the click of a button. 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 had to buy a new garage door opener remote because my old remote s button had disintegrated and no longer worked. You can also see the state of the relay.

No open close buttons no feedback. Now when you click the button again the relay will be turned off and the button text will be changed to open again. When the relay is triggered it closes the circuit hooked up to the garage motor and opens the garage. Let me relish my small victory for a moment now that we ve cheated our way past the garage door opener next time we can work on data logging and.

As soon as you turned on the relay button text will be changed close to turn off the relay. I am using a raspberry pi3b gpio pins to control a relay board which simulates someone pressing the garage door opener on the wall. When you access the webserver from your browser of choice you will have a big button that triggers the garage door via a relay. 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.

It was anyway very helpful to understand the concept around dedicated rpi to control a motor from a relay. 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 also liked the way the code from the big button page actually worked from a web page. Raspberry pi garage door opener by quartarian.

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. The cabling i use now is still the same for the command part. I ve written enough software and played with a raspberry pi long enough that this was a fairly simple project. Press open button to switch on the relay or to open the garage door.

We will wire a very basic circuit to the pi s gpio pins and upload a website that triggers the circuit. My config settings. Where i started a simple button to command the relay. 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.
