Local  Control

In addition to using the buttons on the device, there are two wireless methods of controlling this device. 

1) Local HTTP. You can connect it to your home WiFi and send open/close commands via HTTP requests.

2) Browser-based. Open up the browser on your phone, go to the IP address of the device, and sent commands to control it.

What To Purchase

This kit includes everything you need to build this. This is no need to purchase additional hardware.

Note: We are not selling the stepper motor or power supply at this time. You can easily purchase those items off Amazon at a low price. Hopefully we can resume selling those two parts in the near future.

You may optionally 3D print your own parts. Everything is on one platter and takes about 12 hours to print.

Electronics

At the heart of the device is our custom-made PCB.
