Garage door control
I want to automate my garage door using Linux. The idea is that the
computer records which codes are pressed and triggers the door if one
is correct. It also takes a picture of the person at the control. So
I need recommendations for the following pieces of hardware:
* keypad -- to be used in the script, not as a console keypad. It
will be mounted outdoors so it shouldn't be too expensive. Preferably
USB.
* relay -- I found the Super4 http://emx.net.au/super4usbrelay.htm Is
it the best for the price?
* camera -- also mounted outdoors (but under an eve so it won't get
too wet)
* open/closed sensor
* USB extender -- the garage door is 75' away from the computer I want
to use, 30' away from one I could use in a pinch.-
Anything else I should know before I start?
