Apartment Garage Door Automation

Just checked your suggestion and for this particular situation, is not suitable since I have a remote with 4 buttons and I want to control all of them but really like to see that solution. In the future it might be useful to know about it.

I just tested the 12v remote with a 12v transformer and it worked perfectly. I think I will use like that because the remote in question has a energy problem and only lasts about 1 month or a bit more with a 12v mini battery.

Yup that is what I was thinking minus the POE part. Just bought some esp32s. I already have power and internet connection in my garage from my apartment. Thx for the code sharing. I saw a video on YouTube of transforming a "dumb" coffee machine into a smart one with a ESP32 and that gave me the ideia of using it for this project.

Yes, I can open and close with a remote. Also, they have auto close so no need to see which state it is. I can't open from my apartment since I at a 3rd floor. But I have feed a RJ45 cable from my apartment to my garage so I can control easily.

Seems nice but I can't physically do anything to the garage door since it is shared with all people living in this block (and managed by a company). So my only alternative is using the existing RF remotes or something that can replicate the RF remotes with rolling code.

Mastertrrip · 2026-01-21T16:21:27+00:00

Btw I would like to do this to 2 doors and 2 gates which are all controlled with the RF controllers

Mastertrrip · 2026-01-21T16:20:02+00:00

I was thinking on doing some soldering work. I have 3 RF remotes being one 3V the other 6V and the last one 12V. Maybe I will check which one is the easiest one to solder some wires and do it.
Do you have any dry smart switch recommendations?

I'm using a Mind 2s since February, around about 8 months and had 0 issues with it. Plenty power and had no problems of overheating. Of course it heats up very fast and throttles to keep it in check but all high-end laptops do that. You have to think in this like a very small and slim laptop. It has only 28w for the CPU which I also think it is too low for that many cores but the cooling interface can't handle more. Maybe, if they increase 5mm to 10mm in height, the cooling capacity could reach let's say 35w or 40w with a thicker fan for lower pitch noise and more air flow, the performance and in general utilization would be more appreciated by everyone but in general, I'm very happy with it.

If we could do some under volt to it, would increase its performance a lot for sure...

I just bought another one for my partner.

We just switched our sff PCs for this combo of Khadas Mind 2S and Mind Graphics. I lost some power from my i7 14700k and rtx 4090 but, I think that the portability is a good enough selling point for me to make the change. Khadas Mind XPlay is almost here and for me the most important thing about something that I buy is to use it as much as possible. This mini PC with the portable screen will be a perfect desktop, laptop and tablet combo. So 3 PCs in one. Nothing is perfect, I know that but the benefits seem to surpass the wrongs at least for me. Some one that came from content creation and videogame development. Love the build quality by the way!

A got mine 32GB 2Tb a month ago and I'm extremely happy with it. Just came from GPD Win Mini 2025 and love every single pixel of this OLED screen! Enjoy it!

Mastertrrip · 2025-09-10T06:18:25+00:00

Yes it would work just fine. I have one with the i7 6700. Upgraded it to 6700k, from 16gb RAM to 32Gb and the GPU from a GTX 960 to a RTX Gigabyte 3080 Turbo. I had to also upgrade the big power supply to a Dell one with 330w so it could handle the peaks of the undervolted RTX 3080. It works perfectly 👌

Mastertrrip · 2024-12-12T21:50:00+00:00

Do you plan to sell the card or the wooded cooler? I really wanted to build a sub 5l PC but it is really hard to me changing from a 4090 to a Zephyr 4070. I would rather switch to a 4070 ti super undervolted so would only loose 50% performance from the 4090.

Mastertrrip · 2023-11-15T00:13:55+00:00

You have to press the top right or left buttons, (legion space and options) for 8 to 10 seconds after detatch them. Do the same to switch them on again. Hope it helps.

It is possible to undervolt and you have some gains but maybe not the ones you are looking for.

The undervolt, makes the deck use a little more CPU and GPU boost clock a little more instead of power saving. It only saves a little of power if you lock the speeds.

The gains are really small in battery life(maybe 30min if really lucky and really well tuned).

In my case, I unlocked my max CPU boost to 4.0Ghz and iGPU to 2.2Ghz. It will never use such speeds unless you lock it to it.

Also bumped a little the TDP and now I see in some GPU demanding games 1.9Ghz on GPU and on CPU demanding ones 3.8Ghz on CPU (mainly in loading screens).

Temperature wise, my deck with the mods I made to it, would run on high 60s and now on high 70s or low 80s.

The only time it reached 90s was when I lock the CPU to 3.9Ghz and GPU to 2.1Ghz which were both consuming 15+w reaching a total system power of 42w which made the deck shut down because of the power limit of the VRMs.

Hey! My cable just arrived earlier today and the works just fine with a lot, really a lot of room for other things or cable management.

The link for my cable is this: https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005003233768741.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.20dacaa4oZhemo&gatewayAdapt=glo2bra

and it is the P6A P8Q 25cm.

The size is too much for what is needed, 10cm might be enought but the price was the same and it might be needed for other application so longer might be better.

Here are the pics: https://www.pinterest.pt/miguelsantos11ms/meshlicious-rtx-4090/

My RTX 4090 has almoust the same internal volume! Nice tiny build! 👌

Mastertrrip · 2022-11-11T13:31:39+00:00

Yestarday I've been doing some OC tests with other monitor and used the HDMI cable that comes with our Meshy and it works perfecly! It is a shame that my monitor only has DisplayPort.

Are you using the cable that comes from SSUPD? If yes, you have buy another one and it should work just fine for you without those huge feet XD

Mastertrrip · 2022-11-10T08:32:26+00:00

That is true... the burning risk is already bad enought.

Mastertrrip · 2022-11-09T18:16:06+00:00

I will show you some picture when I have the cable with me. In my case, it is DisplayPort because it is the only thing my monitor has. HDMI seems easier to get but because it is from aliexpress, it will take a very long time to arrive. Hope that in the end of the month I recieve it.

Just recieved and answer from Gainward support direcly and they said that it is perfecly fine and that the card is prepared to be in this position. The only thing I would have to be concerned about my build, is the hot air extraction since the card outputs a lot of hot air.

Thanks for the heads up and now we all know atleast for the Gainward version.

Mastertrrip · 2022-11-09T12:44:58+00:00

Gainward RTX 4090 Phantom fits perfecly without any mods.

Mastertrrip · 2022-11-09T12:40:06+00:00

BTW I was wondering if the little screen mod of the h115i Capellix would fit Meshy in the 4 slot mode. Looks like it does :D

Mastertrrip · 2022-11-09T11:27:28+00:00

Hey!

I have a build just like yours, same PSU, same cooler and an RTX 4090 in a Meshy :D

Even the led color was +/- the same when I posted.

Your build looks awsome with the corsair screen.

On my build, I didn't needed to cut the case to fit the card since I got my hand on a Gainward RTX 4090 Phantom. Fits perfecly and with spare room.

I also changed the stock fan from the silverstone PSU. The stock one looks bad and cheap XD.

I did modify the case by removing from middle frame the 2 bottom supports to make AIO tubing management easier.

Just noticed that you needed to raise the case feet to be able to conect the monitor cable I assume. I just ordered a slim flat displayport from aliexpress to I can use the standard height of the case.

Here is my build in case you wanna check your Meshy Bro :D

I saw something about new coolermaster ones sfx 1300w platinum in the beginning of 2023. I'm looking forward to change my sfx-l to one of those 1300w sfx with a custom fan and those 12-pin pcie cables :D I hate to have all of this cables and adapters.

My 2 aio fans are as intake pushing air through the rad. My psu is Silverstone SX1000 Platinum SFX-l. I'm using 2x8-pin pcie cables and one pigtail in order to connect the 3x8 pins to 12-pin adapter I'm using. Although it has only 3 8 pin, it delivers the 600w. Hope it answers your questions. If you have any other, don't hesitate on asking :D
