Adding Wi-Fi control to your garage door using a WeMos is not over-engineering. It's just a fun little weekend hack.

Over-engineering is what I did...
- Raspberry pi
- Open/close sensors on the garage door as well as the side-entry door
- Camera pointed at the side entry door taking photos while it is left open
- Push alerts to my phone if either door is opened between specific hours of the night (Break-ins to detached garages were huge in my neighborhood)
- Voice controls from my fucking phone to open the door
I sold the house otherwise it'd probably be an even larger monstrosity today
That sounds really cool. One of the advantages of owning your house.
