I have been looking everywhere for a way to control my garage door.
Esp8266 garage door opener.
Hi i ll show you how to make a simple way to do a garage door opener esp8266 is coded as web server door can be open everywhere in the world with feedback you will know is the door is open or close in real time simple only one shortcut to make i.
I would like to use just an esp8266 and a relay.
The garage door opener we have opens shuts from a push button switch that basically creates a short to connect two terminals on the garage door opening unit.

Thought i d do something a little different today and just show a demo in the video below and write out the steps to the actual project here and on github.
Welcome to the 13th raspberry pi tutorial.
That allows easy implementation because all that is required is a esp8266 controlled relay wired across those two terminals to create a switch closure.
I used an esp8266 nodemcu with a 5v relay connected normally open directly to the terminals on the back of the garage door opener unit.
The esp 01 talks via wifi to an openhab controller that monitors door status as well as sends door open close commands.
Nodemcu esp12e is very similar to the more popular esp8266 module so nodemcu esp8266 can also be used for this.
Something like this i think would be ideal whdts esp8266.
This webpage will also display the status of the door whether it is closed or open.

This project uses the esp 01 to control the garage door opener as well as sense when the door is open or closed.
With a similar approach here we are building a wi fi garage door opener circuit using nodemcu and dc motor which can be controlled using a webpage.
Smartthings triggers the relay which completes the circuit pushing the garage door opener button.
The internal resistor of the esp8266 works very well for a magnetic switch attached to garage door when the door is open or close blynk notifies me basically that is the only purpose of this switch but very important to know if the door is open or close.
