 # New-Pi-Garage-Door-Opener
-A rewrite of the Raspberry Pi Garage Door Opener using Flask
+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`. Then finally run the script using `python3 garage_door_script.py`. Your web server will be accessible at http://serverip:1235/.
