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; it sends a command to my proxy server which routes that command to the Arduino IoT cloud server, and then the Arduino is connected to a motor driver and DC motor that reels a fishing line around my door handle.

For now, I don't plan to add more automation. This project was partly inspired by my girlfriend wanting her own prox for my room, and partly by my real problem of locking myself out frequently. So, it was fun to learn about Arduinos and circuitry along the way.

All the parts I used, including 3D-printed components and code, are open source on the Github Repo. Feel free to try making one yourself!
