New-Pi-Garage-Door-Opener

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 it, 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/.
