  • I built myself a garage door opener with an old raspberry pi and a two switch relay wired up to the roller door motors that have an external switch port.
    Custom Android app to set off AWS lambda call to SNS to SQS, which a little process on the pi consumes and uses the GPIO port to trigger the relays. Takes a pic of before and after via webcam, uploads to s3, so I can view that in the app, too.

  • Neato! Are the relays wired directly to the gpio pins? Did you have to worry about current drain and flyback diodes?
