Photon Particle Setup Garage Door

While the second was used to notify us when the garage door was open or closed.

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. If you did anytime that the power went out to your particle core the garage door would 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. This tutorial uses a particle photon to control a relay for the garage door.

Cut one small length of wire and bridge the two relays on their common pin. 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. The wifi on the photon is causing some noise and not allowing our garage door opener to work. While it s an unlikely scenario it s not so far fetched to not provide a solution.

With this particular relay breakout it s not possible to simply wire one relay. I just found out that the garage door project is interfering with the car garage door buttons. 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. Bring power back to the garage door opener and to your photon and test.

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. We used 2 photons to regulate both parts of this project.
