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
}
