Remote Garage Opener with Cayenne

snippets
Open and close a garage door from my smart phone. Also get notified when the state changes (open or closed). The beauty of this is that Cayenne is so easy to use and implement it doesn't require ANY coding.
None needed - Cayenne does everything for you.
1) Install Cayenne app on your smart phone.
2) add device - search for raspberry pi
3) allow files to be installed
4) edit the dashboard to add a generic actuator - digital output
5) select appropriate channel - 25
6) add new widget - generic sensor, digital input
7) select appropriate channel - 23
8) That's it!
