I've got the garage door sensor hooked up to my keypad and working just fine - when the door is open, the keypad light is on, and so-forth.

 

And because the relay is using the momentary contact, I have to programmatically push the "on" button both to open and close the door.

 

I'm looking at purchasing Mobilinc or a similar smartphone program, or perhaps writing my own, and what I'd like to do is have it be able to report the door as open/closed, and if it's open, then the door option should be listed as close, and vice-versa.

 

I know I can store the door state in variable, but is there any way to better customize/display the actual state of the door (open/closed), as opposed to the state of the relay sensor (on/off)?

 

thanks!

MobiLinc lets you customize what is displayed so you can replace ON with OPEN etc. It's a great program and gets better over time.
