Operation

I followed up on RPJacobs-s work and finalized my project!

The problem with original solution is that is puts you behind a paywall, limiting the capabilities of the system. Even if you pay you were forced to IFTT.

That's not good enough! I need to know if gate is moving, which direction is it moving, and get a constant feedback of the state.

To-be-done: As this relies on MQTT I need to implement a healthcheck to know if gate is available, I'll update it soon :)

Super happy with the solution!
