Start up with relay LOW #13

Is there an opinion to start up with the DoorSwitchPin pulled LOW? Then get the Pin HIGH to start the gargedoor and back LOW.

The issue now is, when you reboot the Raspberry or maybe the Powerunit of the Rasp or Relayboard goes down, the Door would open by Fault.

I threw the kitchen sink at a low driven relay trying to get around this issue. Replaced it with an inexpensive high driven relay to get around it. see this thread: https://github.com/KraigM/homebridge-gpio-garagedoor/issues/2

Can you get us a link to the relay please!

Still not fixing the issue ;)

I could use a fix fot it also.

Issue is fixed with the High driven Relay! Nothing on the Code have to be Changed! Even on a Reboot or if the Raspberry get Powerless the Garage-door kept close!

A big Thanks on @SmittyK for this Fix and also on @KraigM for this nice Application
