===== Open Garage=====
OpenGarage can check garage door status from anywhere, open or close the door remotely, and check the record of recent events through the log and history graph. The controller supports a built-in web interface with embedded HTMLs, and remote access through NodeRed via MQTT. The built-in interface is used for local access and changing configuration/settings, while NodeRed is used for remote monitoring and control.\\
