Sweet, now I can wait outside my gate until:
- Internet connectivity is restored via my ISP.
- My phone charges so I can send an email.
- My mail relay unclogs/restarts/gets fixed.
But seriously, it is pretty neat as a proof of concept!
I just wouldn't want to spend a lot of time counting on something like this. I've bloodied my fingers trying to pull out the cotter pin on the ranch gate where I used to work plenty of times, because the RF opener wasn't working.
- andrewchambers 9y agoI agree, only 3 critical flaws! ten times better than existing internet controlled products, you are selling it for me. :)
- rando444 9y agoI know your comment is mostly tongue-in-cheek, as presumably you'd have an extra opener. One extra idea here would be to integrate this with IFTTT or something similar where you tell it to send an e-mail automatically when you reach a certain location. (not sure how accurate this would be) or to create some sort of macro on your phone to use a voice command to send a pre-set e-mail.
