I made a prototype for an iPhone garage door opener. It will also work with anything that has a browser. The Arduino microcontroller is connected to a relay circuit that is connected to the garage door motor. It is wired in just like a regular push button. With the iPhone I browse to a page on my web server and click the garage door button. This makes the garage door open or close with a serial command that is sent from the web server to the microcontroller. Web server: Apache HTTP server 2.2.13 PHP: 5.3 The code is at www.amazingknife.com For details on how to make the relay, look at www.youtube.com and the doorbell videos I’ve posted.
@MARVINXELA I am having a problem posting a link to a wifi module. the company is called CuteDigi, Google on that to find the link. You can also search digikey, jameco, and mouser for wifi modules.
@MARVINXELA I haven’t used a wifi module with an Arduino yet. There are few modules and they are usually $50 and up. For me it is cheaper to set up a web server on a computer I already have.
hi i want to control a circuit by wifi directly, you can help me?, with a list of items to start looking, and I have no experience with wifi, or if you give me anything tutorials addresses will welcome this interesting your project Thanks
Wow!
im building up a car alarm with a ARDUNIO MEGA but i cant still resive data form the sensors to mi iphone, cuz i dont know munch about php and web desing, can u helpme?
ok it sounds good, but how abut the php code for that?
Would need a door sensor to get info about the door being opened or closed. If there was a door sensor then you could definitely determine what state the door was in.
can you resive data form arduino to leet you know if te door was opened or cosed?
something like chek the status of the door?
It is connected with the USB cable. The Arduino drivers make the USB port act like a COM port. That is how I can send data to the COM port and it will go to the Arduino.
how is the Arduino connected to the webserver?
The web server is on my home network behind the password protected router. So if they figured out the router password then they could open my garage.
Also, what if someone accidently stumbled upon your web server? Do you have your iphones IP address whitelisted or something?
Pretty soon people will try to do this with their cars.. lol.
That’s really cool! Great work!
