# garage

A Raspberry Pi project for monitoring garage doors using reed switches. The state is pushed to ntfy on updates and is also stored in a json file in the www/ directory.

## Configuration
```
cp garage.sample.cfg garage.cfg
```

## Installation
```
sudo ./install
```

## Output
By default output will be in `/var/log/syslog`.
A separate log file can be used by creating `/etc/rsyslog.d/30-garage.conf` containing:
```
if $programname == 'garage' then /var/log/garage.log
& stop
```
and then restart the rsyslog service:
```
sudo systemctl restart rsyslog
```
This log file can be rotated by creating `/etc/logrotate.d/garage` containing:
```
/var/log/garage.log
{
        rotate 14
        daily
        create
        missingok
        notifempty
        compress
        delaycompress
        postrotate
                /usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate
        endscript
}

```
