Hi all,

I would like to install a door opener on my single panel jamb garage door

So for starter it seem hard to find brands that sell engine and accessory available for west europe.... (so, if you have any, fell free to share.)

My garage will be access by few peoples. therefore they need to have access but without being able to add or remove any other access..

So to start an external keypad might do.. and the engine should not have button that allow programming..

In the future I would like to be able to (trough Internet)

open/close the door remotely

add/remove code on the keypad

add/remove remote control that are bind with the door.

I've found all-in-one solution but they are of course not FOSS[^foss]..
So no thank you ! I would like to be able to connect easily a SBC or SBM[^1][^2]

So if you have any clue or if you think of a Lemmy community that might fit this post, I'm all ears.

Thanks.

Thats basically what i was thinking, but I dunno if that counts as FOSS in the OP eyes. The hardware is probably not open.

Definitely the way to go though, and what I would do.
