Questions #23

Closed Just-Incase closed 6 years ago

Just-Incase commented 8 years ago

Hello,

Thank you very much for a great project. My first one, just got a Pi3. I do have some questions and would be very grateful for any help.

  1. I only have one door, and one sensor. When I log onto the web, I only get one image shown, and it seems that I am not getting the sensor to read / be read. Not sure what to do here. I did hook the sensor as shown in the diagram, and also tried to use the one sensor for both, just to see what would happen.
  2. How would I go about adding a camera, so I can look into the garage and see what car is there?
  3. How would I go about turning on a small led to shine on top of the car?

Thank you again, I understand as a beginner I am asking some heavy questions, any help or a point in the right direction would be awesome.

Have a great day.

I copied this:

"right" : { "name" : "Door", "relay_pin" : 24, "state_pin" : 27, "approx_time_to_close" : 13, "approx_time_to_open" : 13, "openhab_name" : "g_door_right" }

and was able to add a third button. Pretty cool. Step by step.

Have not got email to work yet.

Thanks
