Just an FYI .. Here are two articles that I wrote on projects using the Twine to monitor the garage door state:http://www.savagehomeautomation.com/projects/twine-garage-door-monitor.htmlhttp://www.savagehomeautomation.com/projects/twine-garage-door-…

Hi Matthew, if you are still looking for a Boxcar+Twine solution, I have a web service currently in development that you could try. Please contact me for the details if you are interested. (My email address is in my forum profile.)

Hi Andy, if you are still looking for a NMA solution, I have a web service currently in development that you could try. Please contact me for the details if you are interested. (My email address is in my forum profile.)

The transistor or maybe an optoisolator was the way I was going to go. I still may do this as a project as it may help others and would be a fun use of Twine. Thanks, Robert

If you are still interested, I can do a write up on this project with a HOW-TO attach Twine to your doorbell system. @ http://www.twineprojects.com/ I'll cover how to simply use a relay (or other electronic components) to interface with the Twine'…

Thanks for checking out the project. Om my Christmas tree twine project, I received a low battery alert about two weeks ago. I figured I'd just let it run to see how long it can last.

In my latest Twine project (http://www.savagehomeautomation.com/projects/twine-garage-door-monitor-revisit.html) I used a two nail approach. I used a 4D finish nail to hang the Twine on through its existing hole and a 6D common nail on the right-ha…

I have published a new article/project using Twine along with external overhead door sensors to monitor the state of multiple garage doors and it has the additional benefit of being able to be locally powered and not rely solely on batteries. NEW …

Hi Robert, >> 1- Is there any setting to ensure that the Twine update rate remains at least every 5min? I know it likes to switch itself into power saving mode, unless you intervene. I don't think there is any way to force the communication …

@Seth, At this time I do not know of one other than the possibility of using an external scripting solution (or custom software programming) such as: http://blog.webscript.io/remembering-to-close-my-garage-door-with-twine-and-webscript.html where…

@Bill - Great info! (added as footnote to article)

I have updated the article to inclue Bill's suggestions. http://www.savagehomeautomation.com/projects/twine-garage-door-monitor.html Basically, this is what the install would look like using the wing nut: http://www.savagehomeautomation.com/stora…
-
Hi Bill, you are absolutely right, a wing nut applied on the front side would make for a better installation to accomodate battery changes. I just used parts that I had laying around the house and this is what I ended up with, but the wing nut woul…

I think the ability to configure rules where the conditions could have ranges of more granular angles of orientation would be extremely useful for other applications as well.

I used a machine screw, washers, and a nut to mount it to my garage door. Photo: http://www.savagehomeautomation.com/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=/storage/post-images/twine/twine-garage-door-3.png Full article with more photos: http://www.savagehom…

I would like this too; however, it could be a completely separate device hosted API instead of trying to hi-jack the existing web service API and emulate that on the back-end.
-
I definitely like the idea of being able to create rules based on a range of more granular angles of orientation! However, if you are wanting to get something working for your needs immediately then I agree with John and would opt for the breako…

Or fix the door to close properly. :-) Sorry ... I could not resist! I think that will take some scripting for the continuous reminders. Maybe this article will give you some pointers: http://blog.webscript.io/remembering-to-close-my-garage-doo…

SMS has been working fine for me (AT&T) Email has been working fine for me also (Gmail account) ... strange ...

Agreed. Also posting content, not questions is awkward.
