Read More…A simple kit to build a Garage Door Left Open Notifier (v1.1).
This kit uses a 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.
1 Year battery life! The power hungry Nodemcu spends most of its time turned off, conserving battery. It gets turned on by the Holtek HT68F001 when the tilt switch changes state and reports the change over the wireless network. The whole system uses only .180 milli amps while waiting for door to open or close.
Note: Nodemcu is not included.
All through hole parts for fairly easy assembly, with simple to follow instructions on our github page. There is a surface mount mcu on the board that will be soldered on already and programmed.
There are several options to add to the kit:
Don't want to solder it up? I can do that for you, for only $1 more.
Make your kit look professional, add a case with lid and screws for $4 more.
I can throw in an un-programmed "Amica" style NodeMCU for $4 more as well.
All software files, board files and instructions can be found on our github page: https://github.com/thinklearndo/garagedooropennotifier
Assembly instructions: https://github.com/thinklearndo/garagedooropennotifier/blob/main/HardwareAssembly.md
Setting up the nodejs server and flashing the NodeMCU: https://github.com/thinklearndo/garagedooropennotifier/blob/main/SoftwareSetup.md
Requires a NodeMCU, not included by default, and a computer, also not included, that can run nodejs and receive the alert from the Nodemcu and send an email.
Please note this is for the Amica Nodemcu, with 49mm x 26mm dimensions.
