Wemo Maker Garage Door Sensor

Speaker wire 21 42.

Wemo maker garage door sensor.

Garage door was closed or something similar how often. Arduino uno rev3 board or likely any arduino will do 25. The switch is actually triggered when the door is closed. The magnetic sensor and speaker wire are optional.

I did coonect it to a sensor so it will show that the sensor has been triggered or not in the wemo app. Seeing most garage doors have terminals on them to connect up a push button switch it is pretty easy to connect up a smart device that can trigger the door when we did this the only option in our region was using a wemo maker. If you just want to be able to open or close your garage door then the wemo maker will suffice. Magnetic sensor 5 90.

I ran both the magnetic door sensor wiring added the 22 2 wiring for length as well as a cat5 cable i had connected to the garage door opener ports red white on the garage door to my master closet. The wemo alerts will appear on the lock screen. Darlington npn transistor 1 50 or a relay 2 5 i like the darlington as it is cheaper and solid state and easier to wire up but depending on your specific garage door a relay may be a better solution genie garage doors have a lower contact voltage and a darlington can not bring it close enough to ground to. A while back a mate asked me to connect his garage door to his phone.

I use ifff to pair the maker with my wemo light switch so i can use a long press on the switch to open my garage door. If you want to know when the garage door is open or closed then you will need them. I used the wemo maker to operate my garage door opener. All day daily keep in mind this may be somewhat counter intuitive for those unfamiliar to normally closed switches.

There was already a 120v wall outlet and all the items needed to keep the wemo maker in a climate controlled environment.
