    My people! I knew I was starting to get into it when I built some multisensors and a garage door switch controlled by esp32s. Still haven’t done too many very complex things with automations, basically situational lighting and so on.

        Nah, I just put a relay and esp32 together and connected it alongside the garage door switch (super old school). It sits on top of the opener in a little enclosure. I originally controlled it with mqtt, but later reflashed the esp with esphome.

          Nothing wrong with that! Cool beans! I haven’t tried either. My garage has too much stuff to hold a car so the door is rarely opened.
