Secure Passcode Smartphone-Controlled Garage Door

This is a secure remote garage door opener controlled by your smartphone. It works by connecting to a the switch over bluetooth, which is activated upon entering the correct passcode.

Find an outlet near the garage door switch inside your garage. If it is not close enough grab an extension cable since we will be using a smartphone power brick and a printer cable like shown in the photo above to power the Arduino and Servo Motor.

Position the servo motor and the Arduino right next to the switch and secure it with some hot glue and tape combination. Make sure that the positioning of the servo horn is such that it collides with the switch when rotated.

* Connect the brown pin to GND

* Connect the red pin to 5V

* Connect the Orange pin to pin 9.

Change your passcode, mine is 22 but yours could be any number you choose!

Enjoy a more secure and convenient to open garage door!
