What is it?

A simple kit to build a Garage Door Left Open Notifier, this includes the case.

This kit uses a simple tilt switch to detect the garage door state, open or closed. When the door is left open for more than 5 minutes, an email is sent to remind you to close it.

All through hole parts for fairly easy assembly. There is a surface mount mcu on the board that will be soldered on already and programmed.

There is also an option to have me solder the parts onto the board for you for $1 more.

All software files, board files and instructions can be found on our github page: https://github.com/thinklearndo/garagedooropennotifier

Setting up the nodejs server and flashing the NodeMCU: https://github.com/thinklearndo/garagedooropennotifier/blob/main/SoftwareSetup.md

Requires a NodeMCU, not included, and a computer, also not included, that can run nodejs and receive the alert from the Nodemcu and send an email.
