Hi everyone,

I have a ESP8266 controlling a relay to open a garage door.

The thing is that whenever the ESP8266 gets power, its operated the relay, and also every 1.5 - 2.5 mins it will also operate the relay, i’ve tried to feed the dog, but it’s still happening, any idea how to over come this?

Are you using any custom scripts for that? Maybe the problem is inside the script.

I recommend to use ESPEasy firmware, very easy to use, can be configured through web interface and has built in MQTT support for openHAB:
