Particle Photon Garage Door Opener

I just found out that the garage door project is interfering with the car garage door buttons.

Particle photon garage door opener.

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. I have a connected photon breathing fine. Mount your project box on the door opener using velcro tape then plug your photon into wall wart power. The wifi on the photon is causing some noise and not allowing our garage door opener to work.

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. Now whenever you roll up to your garage door just hit your garage button in the blynk app and you re in. 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. I ve started a garage door project using a photon a relay shield an internet button and an iphone or several.

I have ifttt and connected to the photon. 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. I m new to this and a fair novice. Anyone out there tried to connect a photon with a craftsman product.

In this project we use blynk a mobile app that allows you to control internet connected microcontrollers like the particle core to build a smartphone contro. 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. This tutorial uses a particle photon to control a relay for the garage door. I connected the photon to the opener using the common and no and used the momentary trigger.
