“I’ve been looking for a solution to open my automatic garage door for family and trusted friends when im not home, without having to hide a remote outside in the flowerpot. My first thought was to buy a remote keypad, but i just couldn’t pay 50USD for something that ugly. Take a look at it and you’ll probably feel the same. So since i bought this nodemcu (esp8266 devboard) that I’ve been trying out blinking leds and what not, it might as well be put to good use. Fortunately, I got three remotes delivered for my garage door opener, but I only use one on a daily basis, so one of those could be used for this task. This is a very simple DIY-hack and i belive most beginners will get a good result.”
