Door Status
PS: I know my friends, and to avoid getting kidnapped in the middle of the night, I unplug the machine before sleeping :P
About This Project
This is a personal project I worked on over the summer. The switch at the top really does open or close my door hehe; it sends a command to my proxy server which routes that command to the Arduino IoT cloud server, relaying that command to the arduino. That arduino is connected to a motor driver which then spins a DC motor, reeling a fishing line knotted around my door handle, pulling it down.
For now, I don't really plan to add any more automation, this project was mainly inspired by my girlfriend, who joked about wanting to have her own prox for my room, and (just partly) by my very real problem of locking myself out somewhat frequently; although it was really fun to learn how to work with arduinos and circuitry,,, so maybe idk
All the parts I used, including those bought and printed, are all open source on the Github Repo, including the code, so feel free to make one yourself :)
