Buy a second (and third?) HM-10 and/or have multiple relays across the switch in parallel. Either device could close the switch. I am not sure if you would need a second microcontroller or if you could manage with one.
Minor update to phone app to allow selection of target device when pairing.
Might be able to leave the old HC-5 in the mix as well for your old user base.
You might need a mini-rack if you take this approach.
Find a simple solution with stuff that already works.

Great minds!!
I walked out to the garage and took this picture[^] of the two HM-10s connected to the garage door opener.
It's not the most elegant solution, but it does work.
I have a 5V / 1amp power supply (salvaged from a old (2002) PocketPC device) that I am using to power the device.
When I added the 3rd HM-10 the power supply couldn't provide the amps it needed to activate the relay so I can only have two.
Next, I will replace the relay [^] with a MOSFET [^] & see if I can power more HM-10s.
Thanks for reading the thread and chiming in.

Sweet!
Thanks for the update.
If you want two factor auth, then hook them in serial! You trust two neighbors to go into your garage, but only if they are both present! James Bond level Q-ery .

Why is it that so many sites - the latest being AWS's portal - refuse to understand that the only country in the world that uses MM/DD as a date format is the US. OK, and Belize. And Canadians when they are being accomodating and polite.
But no one else. The rest of the world is looking at 07/03 thinking "7th of March?".
I honestly don't understand why companies do this other than they straight out don't realise no one else does does dates like this. I've banned ambiguous dates at CodeProject and DeveloperMedia because when we need to get dates nailed down and the conversation includes an American, a Canadian and an Australian (not walking into a bar) the conversation falls apart quickly if we can't trust the date that's been written on the contract.
Can we please, each of us, take a quick look at our code and maybe, just maybe, rethink how dates are presented. Here are some options:
- IF you're tight on space then 3Jul is better than 03/07 and 07/03. And sure, we then run into language issues, but if your site is predominately english then your readers have far bigger issues.
- 2022-07-03 is universal. Everyone gets that, even SQL.
- 3-Jul-2022 is friendly and obvious. 3-Jul-'22 is shorter if you really need s pace.
- 1656806400000 is accurate, unambiguous, precise to the millisecond. And fairly useless. Don't do this.
cheers

I feel your pain.
Since a long time, I am using the 3 Jul 2022 format.

Why not make it crystal clear and use the ISO format 2022-07-03.
Not possible to make mistakes reading it and as far as computer goes, this format sorts just perfectly fine...

Let's all just agree to use the Stardate: 75999.6
Except that's Apr 10 2401 in the NextGen Stardate system.

Insularity, much like the State Department's map featuring "Here be dragons" almost everywhere outside the US.

At least the rest of the Western world hasn't (yet) allowed the insane to take over the asylum. One of the reasons that I refuse to visit the US any more is that with all the "woke-ism" and other nonsense, no one (including the locals) knows what the proper standards of behavior are any more.
I say nothing of the physical danger of going into many (most?) major cities.

Visit Canada and you'll be disabused of the notion that the rest of the West hasn't allowed the insane to take over. Or New Zealand or Australia, for that matter. And that's not even mentioning the EU, which is almost beyond hope.

Well, there are still plenty of places in Israel that I haven't visited yet...

What do you mean, "almost...."?

ISO 8601 is the only true path.
P.S. Do the Gerpeople still use 3.VII.2022 ?

ISO 8061 with offset from UTC FTW, time zone optional
Actually, I find this thread hilarious bitching about US dates while recommending "Jul". Irony has no bounds.

Remember, this is the same country that is still using the English system of measures, when almost everywhere else we use the Metric system...
It is as if there is a need to proclaim that they are not like anyone else, all the time....

United States - switching to the metric system... inch by inch.

...or foot by foot, or yard by yard, or finger by finger, or...anyone any more body parts?

At least we don't use stones for people, MPH for speed limits while distances are in Km
|
|
|
|
|
Where's that?
Here in the UK, road sign distances are in miles and speed limits are in MPH.

We were in the process of converting to metric but couldn't figure out how to handle 19" racks.
