Component Breakdown
AutoLift
Vision
A compact device that integrates a conventional garage door controller with an STM32 single-board computer and a mobile application. The core vision is to modernize home infrastructure by enabling secure, low-cost, and user-friendly remote access without replacing existing systems. By bridging hardware control with networked software, the device transforms the garage door into a connected IoT endpoint accessible from any smartphone.
Advantages:
-
Low maintenance
-
Easy to install

System Breakdown
The STM32 (modified) can receive commands via internet that are issued from an App to control its relays to open or close. This allows it to send signals (via the connected wires) to the garage door controller (or any other electrical household appliance) to control its functionality. The overall architecture emphasizes modularity and extensibility, allowing the relay subsystem to be repurposed for various low-voltage control tasks and enabling future additions such as geofencing, sensor feedback, or integration with broader smart-home platforms.
