Setup Instructions:

1. --First setup your Raspberry Pi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeEU_8HG9l0

2. --Lets upgrade the apt-get program: sudo apt-get update

3. --Next install the Flask Web Server: sudo apt-get install python-flask

4. --Install the GIT application so you can download my Github code: sudo apt-get install git

5. --Download my Github code: sudo git clone https://github.com/shrocky2/GarageWeb

6. --Test out setup and webpage (default port is 5000) cd GarageWeb --Test Relay connections python relaytest.py --Test Magnetic Reed Switches python log.py --Test out Webpage (Rasp_Pi_IP_Address:5000) python web.py

7. --To Setup this code to run automatically on system boot up: sudo nano /etc/rc.local --Add the next 2 lines before the last line "exit 0" sudo python /home/pi/GarageWeb/web.py & sudo python /home/pi/GarageWeb/log.py & exit 0

8. --Change the default password of "12345678" sudo nano web.py --find the 2 lines that contain "12345678" change to new password.

garageweb's Issues

After so many attempts lock them out or require same amount of sucessful log intimes like at least 2 to 3, like the app, nice interface

Easy to secure a little better if wanted

Not working as designed.

fixed, sorry

Garage door with separate open & close buttons

Thanks for this code, I've got it working on a Pi (after tweaking some of print statements). However, I've hit a challenge in that my door opener has different buttons for 'Open' & 'Close'. I get the impression the code would need a complete rewrite to support that feature?

IOS issue

I have everything working as it should from a computer or iPad but not from my iphone. There is no Enter key when i put the code in to open or close the door. I have changed keyboards in settings but it still brings up the number pad which has no enter key. Any suggestions.

Security concerns

• Currently, the password can be brute-forced. An mechanism should be put in place to prevent brute-forcing/guessing the password. Perhaps this could be done by blocking requests from the originating IP address, or blocking all requests for increasingly longer periods of time.

• The web site should use HTTPS to prevent MITM (man in the middle) attacks, where a clear-text password could be intercepted by a malicious actor.
