GarageHome, wired up

Every part, what links it to the brain, and how the data reaches your phone. A solid line is a cable; a dashed line is a radio link.

1. 28 Oct 2026, 06:48LatestA family with an attached garage needs one thing that keeps the big door from being left open overnight, never closes it on a child or a bike, and calls a car left running. Police keep asking residents to shut garage doors at night, and US law (16 CFR 1211, UL 325) requires a flashing light and a sound before any remote close.

2. 27 Oct 2026, 15:55Families want to know when the garage door is left open at night (police in Apple Valley MN and Papillion NE keep asking residents to check), who is at the side door, and whether the water heater is leaking. Today that is a myQ hub ($30-50), a video doorbell (myQ list $99.99) and a leak sensor, or our own GarageEye AI, EdgeBell AI and TankWatch kit at $217 together, with three apps.

   • New product GarageHome: one ceiling hub with one brain (ESP32-P4 with an ESP32-C6 for Wi-Fi), one USB-C supply from the opener outlet, one buzzer and one app runs the garage door, the side-door bell and the water heater
   • Checked first: the ceiling camera cannot see a visitor outside the side door, so the bell station stays outside, but as a USB camera head with no brain of its own
   • Reused CAD parts unchanged: GarageEye bracket, gasket and door plaque; all six EdgeBell station parts; TankWatch pan finger and both pipe clips. Changed: the hub base (cable slot instead of a gland) and lid (buzzer grille, status light). New: a five-cable rubber grommet. 15 printed parts, each one solid, every bought part fits
   • 3D view: a two-car garage with the hub on the ceiling by the opener, the plaque on the door, the bell outside the side door and the heater on its platform with the pan finger and pipe clips
   • Program: 5 new checks pass, such as a freeze warning that says the door is open and a phone close refused when someone is in the doorway
   • Dropped: EdgeBell's own board, PoE module and strike relay box; TankWatch's battery box, LoRaWAN radio and AA cells; GarageEye's PoE
   • Hardware: parts about $95 a kit (est.); priced $189 against $217 for the three separately; product page, parts list, how-it-works and design notes added
