Once it is wired according to the circuit diagram and in parallel with your garage door button your push button switch on your smartphone will control the garage just as your wall switch does.

If you did anytime that the power went out to your particle core the garage door would open. The wifi on the photon is causing some noise and not allowing our garage door opener to work. In addition i am creating some particle variables and functions so i can a monitor the status location of the door and b send the photon button press commands from the particle console cli command line. We used 2 photons to regulate both parts of this project.

This will allow you to know what state the garage door is in closed door opening open door closing instead of just closed or open. With this particular relay breakout it s not possible to simply wire one relay.
