1. Project Description
The author considered what kind of platform board would be used for remote control of his garage door. His final selection is the Arduino and Ethernet Shield. Ethernet is the wired network that requires long LAN cable, but very stable communication method.
He used RESTduino code to control the garage door through standard REST interface.
As he talked with his friend, he got an idea about voice conrol (like Google wear video). He made an iPhone App to use the Siri and finally succeeded in implementing voice controlling garage door system
2. Parts
- Arduino
- Arduino Ethernet (with Ethernet cable)
- 5V Relay
- iPhone
3. Implementation Guide
As mentioned above, the Arduino firmware is based on RESTduino to respond to a RESET API. The iPhone App recognizes the voice and sends the REST API. The garage door can be controlled by 5V relay that connected to the Arduino Board.
