Garage door detector arduino.

Garage door opener via mobile phone and rfid. This project monitors two garage doors. Our own network enabled garage door opener controlled with an arduino. On the lcd screen you can see the last movements of your doors.

When the roller door was lowered the arduino would enter the door in transition state again and stay that way until the door closed and the bottom sensor was triggered. No external power supply connect to wired or wireless alarm control panel gnd and n c ports directly. I mounted the 2 switches at each end of the garage door rail. Since i wanted to sense the normal state i e.

A door that is not completely opened or stays open for to long triggers an alarm. The garage door is closed as high on the arduino the closed door sensor is connected to the no pin and the fully open sensor is connected to the nc pin on the switches. Mc 38 wired door window sensor magnetic switch home alarm system detector. Project tutorial by dtbaker.

Here s the arduino sketch i came up with to accomplish this. The arduino would now enter a door closed indicator state and leave the led on for 10 seconds before entering the door closed sleep state. When the top sensor triggered the door would enter a third door up state and pulse the light slowly. Alarms are sent by sms.

Please note that this item not fit to iron door it will decline magnetic of the sensor. When a door opens or closes the movements are logged.
