While this has been done before i thought i d post my solution.
													
																	Raspberry pi door open sensor. 
									
	
		
	
																	It can for example also read analog sensors. 
																	A raspberry pi with sd card and os installed i m using the pi 3 but any model with gpio headers will do unless you fancy some extra. 
																	Sunfounder raspberry pi 3 model b 37 modules sensor kit v2 0 for rpi 4b 3 b 2b a zero raspberry pi board included 4 4 out of 5 stars 141 135 99 135. 
																	This instructable explains how i setup a raspberry pi to open my garage door using a smarthphone. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	A true micro controller is e g. 
																	Build a raspberry pi door window sensor with reed relais. 
																	Raspberry pi garage door opener. 
																	Low voltage labs traffic lights. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	The raspberry pi can also be used as a micro controller but it has a lot more functions because it runs an operating system. 
																	Copy and paste the following code into your raspberry pi and save it as a python file. 
																	Demo and tutorial on how to control your garage door from your phone using an esp8266 module nodemcu and raspberry pi. 
																	375 this sensor is essentially a reed switch encased in an abs plastic shell. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	The other half is a magnet. 
																	In addition to using a raspberry pi the project uses two sensors to determine whether or not the garage door is open. 
																	In addition to a surveillance camera and motion sensors information about open windows and doors is also of interest to a self built surveillance system. 
																	The sensor outputs a digital high 5v signal when it detects a person. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	It sat there staring at me and then it clicked raspberry pi door sensor. 
																	This was my first hardware project and instructable ever and i m sure. 
																	When the magnet is less than 13mm 0 5 away the reed switch closes. 
																	Each toilet at our office is a single room with its own locking door. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	The project also lets users send a command to the door thus enabling you to. 
																	A check with infrared light barriers or other methods would certainly be possible but in this case that is much more complicated. 
																	Learn programming c javascript jquery the mean stack mongo express angular and node and excel. 
																	Interfacing the pir motion sensor to the raspberry pi s input gpio. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Adafruit industries unique fun diy electronics and kits magnetic contact switch door sensor id. 
																	I could create a small program script which monitored the open closed state of door s then serve a simplistic html page displaying their states. 
																	Via usb or 433 mhz or 2 4 ghz radio. 
																	Read now we can try reading the output from the pir motion sensor.
