Bryan Had a Feeling He Was Not in Kansas Anymore
February 7, 2005
After one too many nights lying awake wondering if he had remembered to close the garage door, Bryan decided to reengineer his automatic door opener. He attached a detector switch to the opener drive rail, which is engaged by the drive shuttle as the door arrives at the fully open position. He wired the switch to a delay timer that begins its count when the switch is closed. When the timing period clocks out, the timer's normally open dry contacts signal the opener to close the door.
