If somebody want to order a pcb I made oneâŚ:
Unfortunately I canât upload the gerber files because zip files are not allowed.
Anyhow here is the project:
This also is the true for stl files of my printed housing I designed, so here is the project:
The wifi signal is not strong but still working, we will see how reliable it is:
Edit:
Just like I expected wifi signal isnât reliable enough so it happens that the door opener isnât available.
This especially happens if the (metal) door is closed, so it canât be opened again.
I already used an external antenna for the esp.
Also I tried a repeater but also the repeater doesnât receive a signal which is strong enoughâŚ
At the beginning my idea was to use a 433MHz transmitter / receiver but this seems not a good idea.
What else can I do to get the garage door opener working reliable ?
