The replacements for my garage door were 20 30.
Then wire the relay to the garage door opener.
What we will be doing is turning the raspberry pi into a small web server.

We will wire a very basic circuit to the pi s gpio pins and upload a website that triggers the circuit.
This model is necessary as it has wireless support while the raspberry pi zero does not.
It controls the door.
The project relies on a raspberry pi zero w using 8 gb of storage on a microsd card.

After only writing software for many years in web development creating something that interacts with the real world was a special kind of excitement for me when i saw it.
Then wire pin 6 gnd to the gnd on the relay.
Required for this project is a raspberry pi zero w or raspberry pi 3 model b other models like the raspberry pi 3 model a may also work compatible power supply button 5 volt relay switch solder and soldering gun cables wires circuit board a basic understanding of the http hypertext transfer protocol the pythonprogramming language and the linuxoperating system.
Welcome to the 13th raspberry pi tutorial.
A wifi raspberry pi connected to a 2 channel relay connected to my actual garage door remote allows me to open and close my garage door with just a browser on my smartphone.
Thought i d do something a little different today and just show a demo in the video below and write out the steps to the actual project here and on github.
