Members could open the garage door using an android app on their mobile phones or by typing their unique pin numbers into a special website.
Garage door opener arduino uno rfid.
We were quoted 50 for new garage door openers.
We already had one door opener so for the same price we went about building our own network enabled garage door opener with an arduino.
When the relay closes it connects the terminals of the garage door signal contacts.
V1 2 shields 2 pin antenna rev 1 2 printed on the board will need the following code.
The arduino then reads the code from the serial connection and compares it to a list of authorized rfid codes.
To add new keys to the system jason simply swipes his master rfid.
We are going to bridge a connection in the opener switch via a robotgeek relay board initiating the door opening as if you had pressed the button.
This code will work for any digital output device such as relays leds buzzers and more.
The arduino acts as the brains of the operation while an off the shelf nfc rfid reader module is used to read the rfid tags.
Initialize an rfiduino object for hardware version 1 2.
If the tag is on the authorized list the arduino will pull a pin high to provide 5v to close a relay.
A freetronics etherten or other network capable arduino board this is the brains of the operation.
In this project we will be using the power of rfid to tap into your garage door opening system.
The garage door then opens.
