This tutorial assumes you have the gpio binding installed and have already gotten that working for other items.
Rpi garage door opener web page button.
Flask allows us to run our python scripts through a webpage and we can send receive data from raspberry pi to web browser and.
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.
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.
No open close buttons no feedback.
The project also lets users send a command to the door thus enabling you to.
Here we have created a web server using flask which provides a way to send the commands from webpage to raspberry pi to control the robot over the network.
I ve written enough software and played with a raspberry pi long enough that this was a fairly simple project.
This instructable explains how i setup a raspberry pi to open my garage door using a smarthphone.

It was anyway very helpful to understand the concept around dedicated rpi to control a motor from a relay.
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 had to buy a new garage door opener remote because my old remote s button had disintegrated and no longer worked.
While this has been done before i thought i d post my solution.
Where i started a simple button to command the relay.
This was my first hardware project and instructable ever and i m sure.
I am using a raspberry pi3b gpio pins to control a relay board which simulates someone pressing the garage door opener on the wall.
The cabling i use now is still the same for the command part.
In the image above a high resolution genie garage opener was used a raspberry pi logo was added and the led was removed.
I tapped into the buttons on the wall and ran a pair of wires to the relayboard and connected them to common and normally open.

I was curious if the board itself could still be activated and sure enough when i hit both pins on the board with a wire the garage door opened.
So now i wondered if we could make this board interact with a raspberry pi so that it could be activated over the network.
