Wemos garage door

Solved

I have a detached garage and needed a way to tell if the garage overhead door was open or not without leaving the house.

There is a small issue with the code that I am unable to fix. When the door is open, there is a way for me to disable open door notification. when the door is closed, the open door notification reset. However after the garage door is closed, I m still able to toggle the disabled notification in the blynk app, which basically doesnt do anything however lets stay I forgot about it and somone else in the family used the garage door, i would keep getting door open notification with the disable option highlighted in blynk.

  • hardware includes
    wemos d1 mini micro controller
    PC817 octo isolator for the relays
    reed switch for door open or close feedback
    Samsung S8 android blynk app


void loop()

I guess that one option is to to add a bit of code to your BLYNK_WRITE V1 that checks if the door is closed and if it is then do a Blynk.virtualWrite to V1 to turn it off.
That way, it will always revert to off (assuming that’s the setting you want) whenever then door is closed.
