My garage door remote uses the cr2032 battery which is 3 3v and coincidentally the raspberry pi also has a 3v terminal which is right next to the 5v plug. This was my first hardware project and instructable ever and i m sure. So you basically remove the battery on the remote and connect the on the battery compartment on the remote to the 3v on the pi. Learning programming made easy.

This instructable explains how i setup a raspberry pi to open my garage door using a smarthphone. The switch contacts are usually labeled white and black and will be the same ones your wall switch es are attached to. Then wire pin 6 gnd to the gnd on the relay. Plug back in the pi and let it boot.

Conection to garage door openers. The relay should be wired in the normally open position so that when activated the circuit will close and the garage door will open close. Here is what my pi looks like all connected up. Test of my garage door opener project with apple home.

Connect 2 wires from each garage door opener switch contacts to the relay. While this has been done before i thought i d post my solution. Wire pin 2 5v on the pi to the vcc pin on the relay. Run sudo shutdown and then unplug the pi.
