We were quoted 50 for new garage door openers.
Garage door opener arduino uno rfid.
The robotgeek rfid garage door opener kit comes with the rfiduino v1 2.
We already had one door opener so for the same price we went about building our own network enabled garage door opener with an arduino.
A freetronics etherten or other network capable arduino board this is the brains of the operation.
To add new keys to the system jason simply swipes his master rfid.
We are going to bridge a connection in the opener switch via a robotgeek relay board initiating the door opening as if you had pressed the button.
In this project we will be using the power of rfid to tap into your garage door opening system.
V1 2 shields 2 pin antenna rev 1 2 printed on the board will need the following code.
The garage door then opens.
If the tag is on the authorized list the arduino will pull a pin high to provide 5v to close a relay.
Members could open the garage door using an android app on their mobile phones or by typing their unique pin numbers into a special website.
The arduino then reads the code from the serial connection and compares it to a list of authorized rfid codes.
This code will work for any digital output device such as relays leds buzzers and more.
It hosts the web page you connect to when you want to open the door and triggers the garage door opener via the relay when the correct password is entered.
When the relay closes it connects the terminals of the garage door signal contacts.
