Arduino Garage Controller
by aramperez
Overview
Although there are many garage door projects on Instructables using Arduinos, He needed/wanted something different. So He thought, he could use an Arduino with a real-time clock (RTC) to automatically close the garage door at 9 pm. So he built the first version of a garage controller. I used two sensors, one for “door is closed” and the other for “door is fully open” and a relay. The controller worked quite well.
He also made it to connect ethernet shield with Vera 2 - Smart home controller - for smart phone’s app, instead of WiFi shield. Vera 2 can supports uPnP, Vera 2 can control the garage controller with smart phone anywhere, anytime.
