|
A rewrite of the Raspberry Pi Garage Door Opener using Flask. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This repo contains a python script (garage_door_script.py), which runs a Flask web server that allows you to control and monitor your Raspberry Pi Garage Door Opener. This script assumes you have the same hardware configuration as described in this video: https://youtu.be/An7KQbmUnhs. |

|
|
## Differences between this and the old python garage door control script (https://github.com/Rav4s/Pi-Garage-Door-Opener) |
|
|
|
Unlike the old script, this one allows you to view the status of your garage door and control it from one webpage. Also, once you sign in, it sets a cookie which allows you to stay signed in after closing and re-opening the page. Improvements have also been made for mobile usability and overall look and feel (see the screenshots below). |

## What's in each folder? |
|
|
|
The static folder contains the Bootstrap CSS framework, along with the main CSS file and the favicon. |
|
|
|
The templates folder contains the index.html and login.html templates, which the python file uses to serve the webpages. |
|
|
|
The main python script is called garage_door_script.py. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies |
|
|
|
This python script requires python 3.x, Flask, and RPi.GPIO. |
|
|
|

|
## How to run the script |
|

|
To run the python script, first clone the repository using `git clone https://github.com/Rav4s/New-Pi-Garage-Door-Opener`. Then enter the directory using `cd New-Pi-Garage-Door-Opener`.
