Required for this project is a raspberry pi zero w or raspberry pi 3 model b other models like the raspberry pi 3 model a may also work compatible power supply button 5 volt relay switch solder and soldering gun cables wires circuit board a basic understanding of the http hypertext transfer protocol the pythonprogramming language and the linuxoperating system.
Raspberry pi zero garage door opener.
Welcome to the 13th raspberry pi tutorial.
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.
This model is necessary as it has wireless support while the raspberry pi zero does not.
Thought i d do something a little different today and just show a demo in the video below and write out the steps to the actual project here and on github.
Ever lose a garage door opener and looked for a replacement on amazon.
Raspberry pi garage door opener.
Diy garage door opener with esp8266 module and rpi published on.
It controls the door.
Then wire the relay to the garage door opener.

The project relies on a raspberry pi zero w using 8 gb of storage on a microsd card.
The replacements for my garage door were 20 30.
Then wire pin 6 gnd to the gnd on the relay.
We will wire a very basic circuit to the pi s gpio pins and upload a website that triggers the circuit.
I figured i d make one using a 10 pi zero ok for like 30 after all accessories but at least i can use it to control my garag.
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.
Wire pin 2 5v on the pi to the vcc pin on the relay.
What we will be doing is turning the raspberry pi into a small web server.
When you access the webserver from your browser of choice you will have a big button that triggers the garage door via a relay.
Case for raspberry pi optional it s a good idea to have a case for the pi and other electronics to shield it from environmental abuse.
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.
