I just found out that the garage door project is interfering with the car garage door buttons.
Photon particle setup garage door.
While it s an unlikely scenario it s not so far fetched to not provide a solution.
Cut one small length of wire and bridge the two relays on their common pin.
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.
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.
If you did anytime that the power went out to your particle core the garage door would open.
The first photon was used to control the door closing and opening.
Bring power back to the garage door opener and to your photon and test.
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.
We used 2 photons to regulate both parts of this project.
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.
This tutorial uses a particle photon to control a relay for the garage door.
The wifi on the photon is causing some noise and not allowing our garage door opener to work.
With this setup you can continue to control your garage door even when you are not at home.
While the second was used to notify us when the garage door was open or closed.
