A pieced together hack that allows for a PHP page with a button to trigger a relay on an Arduino board that acts as a button press for the garage door opener. All the code was pretty much hacked together, and has a lot of polishing to do on all parts, but as a proof of concept, it’s a start.

iPhone controlled garage door opener using Arduino

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.
