More than just opening and closing

With OpenGarage you can not only monitor the gate, but also whether your vehicle is still in the garage. OpenGarage is installed on the ceiling and uses an ultrasonic distance sensor to check the height below.

Intuitive and easy-to-use mobile apps, fully open source product

Our mobile apps for OpenGarage are easy to understand and use. The status of the door is clearly printed on the home screen and you can toggle the door with a clearly labeled button. With our apps you can also use several OpenGarage-Control devices for multiple garages.

OpenGarage is an open source product. The hardware design, software code (including firmware and app code) and API documents are in OpenGarage- Github repository publicly available. You can adapt it to your individual needs. OpenGarage is essentially a WiFi-enabled device with an integrated ultrasonic distance sensor and relay. You can use it as a sump pump sensor to monitor the water level in a sump pump. You can use it as a parking sensor to make sure your car is parked at the perfect distance. You can also connect additional sensors such as temperature and humidity sensors to create a WiFi enabled temperature and humidity sensor with logged data.

installation:

The video shows the possibility of opening and closing the gate with the help of the remote control. You only need to do this if there is NO impulse connection on the control unit of the gate operator. The two wires are from OpenGarage simply connected so that an impulse is triggered.

So close OpenGarage better directly to the control unit. Manufacturers such as Marantec and others of the same type usually all have an “impulse” connection. This and GND of the controller must be on OpenGarage be connected, see your for details installation instructions.

For the power connection you need a 230V socket or a USB port.
