IoT Garage door monitor based on Adabox003

Future Ideas

• It is possible to run an MQTT broker on a Raspberry Pi (Mosquitto for example). There are numerous guides on the net for doing this. Eventually I might try this. That way AdafruitIO doesn't have to put up with traffic from garage doors...
• It might be interesting to integrate the project into HomeKit. There are at least two ways this might be approached.
1. Use Homekit Bridge on a Raspberry Pi
2. Do it directly from the HUZZAH. At the Apple developer's conference, Apple announced some flexibility for developing Homekit accessories using Arduino and other platforms. So, it might eventually be possible.


• AdafruitIO supports connecting to IFTTT. It would be interesting to see what additional features could be added with that capability
• It might be nice to have an iOS widget to go with the app. Have to look into this at some point.
  Update 21 Sep 17: a brief look suggests that the app would need to be reworked into a framework. That would allow the today widget to invoke parts of the framework to get the status of the doors.
• Maybe add the DHT22 that came with Adabox003 to report temperature and humidity in the garage. The Adafruit supplied guide already has the basic information for doing this.
