ESP8266 NodeMCU WiFi Garage Door Opener Relay with Cayenne

About This Project

I had previously completed a similar project using Blynk, so I thought it would be good to upgrade my project and try Cayenne. In this project, we will use an ESP8266 with Cayenne to control a Garage Door Opener. I also use OpenHab Home Automation and included MQTT to be useful with that.

I haven't been able to get the Fake "light" to indicate if the Garage Door is open just yet.

What's Connected

• ESP8266 Relay

• DHT22/AM2303 Temperature & Humidity Sensor

• GL5537 Light Sensor

• Active Buzzer

Triggers & Alerts

I use a trigger to create the same functionality as a momentary switch would.

Scheduling

No scheduling setup set, but this could be useful to check if the Garage Door is still open after say 9pm and send a txt.
