What is it?

Garage Zero v2 is an evolution of the Garage Zero project which aims to provide a smart device accessible garage door controller. This project provides a UI for controlling garage doors and can even notify you of events. This version has it's own custom PCB hardware design.

This project utilizes a Raspberry Pi Zero W (or even the new Pi Zero W 2!) (not included), plugged into this custom PCB with high power relays to control your garage door, and with sensors for detecting if the garage door is open or closed.

This sale is for the PCB only! Apologies, but I do not have the time to source the components and solder them in advance. Thus you will be responsible for building these on your own. Information in the documentation on what components to use.

Note that the price listed is for one(1) PCB only. Ships only to addresses in the USA.

Why did you make it?

I wanted to turn my dumb garage door into a smart garage door, so I built this! Since I have a few extra boards, I thought I would make them available to anyone else who wants to utilize this.
