Raspberry Pi Garage Door Opener: Control Your Garage Door from Your Phone Using a Raspberry Pi
When I think of home automation with a Raspberry Pi, controlling my garage door is the first project that comes to mind. So I decided to build this myself. The goal is to hook a Raspberry Pi up to my garage door opener, set up some sensors to determine the state of the garage door, and create a web page that will control it all.
I've written enough software and played with a Raspberry Pi long enough that this was a fairly simple project. The hardware is cheap and I've packaged the software up in a Docker image, so with this guide and a few free hours you can build this as well!
