I just discovered your channel and am glad that I did, your videos are awesome, as are your projects. Pulling the PCB off the monitor was super clever (Wow I wish it really worked that way :D ). Also that circular pan at 6:00 in was SMOOTH! Really well done video, explanation, and project. I also love some of your wayings...the 'category why not' cracked me up, so many projects get that added :D Great job, subscribed and looking forward to enjoying your channel for the years to come!

Great video. Will love watching more. I want to make an home automation product, but have heard that esp is not very reliable and durable. Any comments on that?

Nice - I've been using a relay in a similar setup for some time, though not as elegant as yours. I'd considered using an ultrasonic to detect if the garage is down or up instead of car presence. Did you consider that type of usage at all? Wouldn't necessarily tell if it's fully down, but would at least show that it's not all the way up.

@SmartSolutionsForHome

3 жыл бұрын

I think that the ultrasonic sensor isn't reliable enough to have such a crucial task. Therefore, to check if the doors are closed, I use an old - good reed sensor :) PS. Thanks for the nice article on hackster.io :)

@@SmartSolutionsForHome Makes sense. My pleasure, glad you saw it :-)

It will be nice to integrate the „door closing“ command in the module so that the door will close when the car is in the garage. And vice-versa when the car is going out from the garage.

I think it needs more thought. It probably wouldn't be that simple. But any kind of automation is possible.

Highly reject this project, the sonic sensors are not reliable enough to trust to a garage door. Switch to a ToF sensor for "obstruction", or limit switch for closed/open status

@SpacedCadet

3 жыл бұрын

The sonic sensor is just for car detection. The Reed sensors are used to detect whether the door is open or closed and the existing garage door sensors will handle obstructions, force limits etc.
