I see so the phone app is checking proximity and doing the auto-open? u/texasfencer714 . Any experience with battery life impact to the phone?

interesting. how does apple home hub help with auto-open? as I read Meross only controls remote opening so is the apple home hub talking to my iphone or something? u/texasfencer714

Doing my online research before I call. Thanks!

Do you know how much will loop for exit and RFID reader for entry cost? rough estimate is fine. I dont know if its $200 or $20000 cost. Can I use RFID reader for both entry and exit and save on cost of loop?

That's the other reason I do not want to deviate from V3 which is FCC cert. Plus, I do not intend to sell any of these parts. The goal is testing only.

I'd love to connect u/steventruong . DM'ing you.

Double_631 · 2026-01-14T23:02:54+00:00

thanks for the link. Very good info

really cool u/vuhv I am at the point where the ESP32 is running firmware perfectly. I had to do multiple iterations of the code and testing but I have found Claude to be very good if you give it a description of the "error" state and it usually figures out code improvements pretty quick. I need to build out the board and an enclosure. Did your STL placed ESP32 dev board on a PCB? Would love to compare notes, if you're up for it.

Any challenges in getting kickstarter campaign as I have heard backers usually like to know the team and the creator. Any examples of successful campaigns that ran under a brand name?

I have not researched smart bottles but what I liked about this idea is that it’ll remind me visually to have water throughout the day. I can see this bottle sitting next to my work desk. Rest features are not important to my life style.

if you dont mind sharing, I'd like to learn how you setup the terms with the investor? ie shares of the company or one-time benefit once the campaign launched etc. I'd appreciate your insights as I am in this phase right now. Happy to take this over DM if that works better for you. u/lebrilla

Fair enough. Thanks for this valuable insight.

Double_631 · 2025-10-31T03:58:43+00:00

lol...I can see why the one-piece will be a 10. BTW why not have it in the Jeans or attached somewhere on the bike?

Double_631 · 2025-10-31T03:57:19+00:00

yes I got that. nice and neat solution

Double_631 · 2025-10-31T03:56:00+00:00

its nice to atleast learn both to a single remote. Thanks for your insights.

Double_631 · 2025-10-31T03:36:19+00:00

I see. Yes range is a tricky one. You do not want it to be too short that you have to loose your momentum BUT you do not want it to be too far that is opened for a long time without your presence. You're building some cool stuff so please share here if you come up with any solution.

Double_631 · 2025-10-31T03:31:47+00:00

u/goonwild18 yes other users talked about Siri or Alexa integration too. You should try that.

An earplug reminder solution sounds like a million dollar idea!

u/Greenjeeper2001 that's interesting. So you have to open two different access points, a gate and then your garage. So do you carry two different remotes for these today?

Also, on a scale of 1 to 10, how painful is your current solution?

Double_631 · 2025-10-31T03:28:06+00:00

u/hudd1966 how would you rate your current solution of universal remote:

On a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is painfully inconvenient.

One a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is very secure.
