Open your garage door with python, telegram and ARM boards.
Python3 code to open/close your garage door using a telegram bot. I used an OrangePi zero WiFi board to control my door using a wired connection from a relay board to the door motor.
You need to install:
- Python telegram bot to interact with Telegram
- orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH3 to control onboard red led
You need to create a token id at bot_father bot in Telegram. Also you need to your chat_id to receive notifications and send commands to your bot. These two parameters should be used at door.py.
Then, move the door.service file to /lib/systemd/system/ directory and enable the service to start on boot. Finally, add the following code to the end of your /etc/rc.local if you want monitor your wifi connection using the onboard red led:
python3 /root/moni.py &
exit 0
If the red led is blinking, there is no internet access. If the red led is lit, then you have internet on your board.
