A while back I created a Smartphone Garage Door Opener. It worked, but left a lot of room for improvement. So I created a new version of it, and its much better.

Nice project, what's the name of the background music?
I already i created this project using particle photon and blynk. But there is no door status monitoring.using these same steps is that possible?
Great project! Finally got around to trying this out this weekend. At first I had a problem with the device constantly disconnecting in Blynk; it worked but only intermittently with a message constantly popping up with a device disconnected message. Ultimately the fix was to increase the timer interval (from timer.setInterval(10, buttonLedWidget); to timer.setInterval(1000L, buttonLedWidget);). Still need to adjust the warnThreshold from that change and the High/Low warnPin feels backwards to me but works well. Thanks!
is this possible to use ESP8266 esp-12e then Adafruit 2821 Feather HUZZAH with ESP8266 Wi-Fi if yes what i have to change in the code to work with ESP8266 esp-12e
Thanks

Great job man!!
Is there a particular reason that you picked an Arduino controller instead of a Raspberry Pi 0 W board? I'm asking that because the Raspberry is a cheaper option!
Nice project!.Planning to make one. – Thanks. Please let me know the soldering iron make you have used in this project. Thanks in advance.
someone having too much times. or you can just buy Chamberlain remote garage door opener
very cool….i think i am going to see if my 13 yearold wants to learn this stuff, right up his alley.
Am I the only one that spotted the missing dropping resistor for the optocoupler LED? without that you will kill the optocoupler or the ESP sooner or later.
hahahahaha, blameBirkey! Love it! 🙂
What's the name of those metal pieces in the plastic case, where the screws will fit in?
I would like to know more please. Thanks!
