About This Episode:
Now that the hardware’s wired up, it’s time to breathe life into the Smart Garage Door with code! 🚀
In this episode, we walk through the entire software that powers the project — written with clean, object-oriented design to keep things modular and maintainable 🧼👨💻.
We do a full code review and break down the key classes that make everything tick:
🔹 DoorSensor – encapsulates logic for detecting the door’s position
🔹 DoorButton – handles interactions with the door opener button
🔹 GarageDoor – the high-level controller that integrates with Apple Home using HomeSpan. It pulls it all together and exposes the device as a HomeKit accessory 🍏🏠
You’ll see how these components work together — and how dependency injection keeps things clean by passing DoorSensor and DoorButton instances right into the GarageDoor class constructor.
Whether you’re into embedded dev, smart home integrations, or just love clean code, this video dives into the software heart of the project. Let’s build smart! 💡💻
