How I Fixed My Parents Forgetfulness

My parents always forget whether or not they closed the garage door, so I created my own Raspberry Pi controlled garage door sensor for detecting and relaying the state of the garage door via push notifications. Overall, this project is pretty simple and a great way to learn/play around with some basic embedded systems!
