> Stuck on the doorstep for half an hour? Sounds a bit shit.
Eh, I have my phone tell my Raspberry Pi to open the garage door when I drive up.
The couple times the phone battery has died, I've had to park and trudge all the way around back to my "front" door, go through the house, out the "back" (actually side) door, in the garage back door (whoo, it's really the back door!) and open the front garage door.
Too many fecking doors in a really shitty layout, so the network app really is a hell of a lot easier than opening the door myself.
Edit: the roll up garage door no longer has an opening latch. It broke decades ago and there are no spares available. Nor is there a new garage door as sturdy as the current one.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
