🔧 Arduino Configuration

The Arduino code responsible for handling the garage door and delivery box is located in the /config-arduino directory. It uses the ESP8266 module to communicate with the ThingSpeak IoT platform.

🛡️ Hiding Sensitive Information

To keep your Wi-Fi credentials and ThingSpeak API keys secure, the project uses a secrets.h file which is excluded from version control.

Create a new file at /config-arduino/secrets.h with the following structure:

#define SECRET_SSID "your_wifi_name"
#define SECRET_PASS "your_wifi_password"

#define SECRET_API_KEY1 "your_thingspeak_api_key_for_door"
#define SECRET_API_KEY2 "your_thingspeak_api_key_for_delivery_box"

#define SECRET_CHANNEL_ID1 1990559 // Your channel ID for door
#define SECRET_CHANNEL_ID2 1995872 // Your channel ID for delivery box
