Wiring doesnt bother me and I have an electrician friend who could always look over things, but Im comfortable with the wiring part of things. I talked to the garage door opener company and they dont offer any way to add a second set of sensors to keep the door from going up, at least not on their residential stuff like I have. When it comes to cars, and even home wiring Im good, its stuff like this where I get a bit lost. I see so many videos talking about sensors and raspberry pi's that Im sure there is a way to do this, Im just not sure the best place to start lol.

That whisker switch might work. The reason I planned on going direct to the power for the opener is because there is a keyless pad outside plus openers in the cars. And it's honestly those ones I worry the most about. Thanks for the ideas so far, giving me something to work with.

That was actually my first thought. But the sensors in the garage door opener only seem to be active when the door is already open and you go to close it. I tried blocking the sensors and it still opens no problem.

Hello, I thought I would post here and see if anyone might be able to give me some help/information on where to look. To start, a little explanation of what I am trying to do. I am going to be installing a 4 post car lift in my garage in order to be able to work on cars in there a little bit more easily. But since my garage isnt massive, I want to create a sort of safety for my garage door opener so that if a car is all the way up the hoist, you cant open the garage door since it would likely hit the car and damage either one or both. So What I was wanting to do is find some sort of light beam sensor or laser sensor that I could mount on my garage door rails and if it see's something in the way, I could use something like IFTT to shut off the plug for the garage door opener(wemo plug). But I have been trying to find sensors or anything that would work for this but havent seemed to have had much luck. So thought I would check here and see if anyone would know.

Which list are people checking, the stats on the F@H page? Or is there another list I should be making sure Im on.

My Vega64 is also doing about the same. I just have a manual undervolt and fan curves. It seems to be doing pretty good and sitting around 60c.

Joined for this awesome cause. Havent been able to download any CPU tasks, but my Vega is working away at least.

I had originally built it with a RX580, but then I saw the price since they were blowing out the Vega64's so I ended up changing to that. Plus it works better with my plans to eventually do custom watercooling since I think I found a waterblock for it.

I was just trying to see if I built a decent system. As I said, I hadnt built a computer in probably 7 years. So just curious as to kinda "What Next", or if I made a massive mistake with any part. AS for the ML120 cooler, my goal is to do a custom watercooling setup, but that will have to wait a little bit. So the 120 was just kind of a "lets get something to get me up and running and that will work till I go custom cooling. And a friend had suggested monitors as well. Watched a couple videos which also made me think that may be next.

Its been a long time since I have built a new computer, so I just wanted to see how I did with this one. Some of it was built with the idea of it being in a wall mounted case, Board: ASUS ROG Strix Z390-E CPU: I5-9600K Memory: 16gb Corsair Vengence RGP Pro 3200MHz HD: Samsung 970 Evo M.2(250gb for OS mainly) and Samsung Evo 840 SSD(250Gb for programs, etc), and an old Seagate Barracude 7200.14 2Tb (for mostly just storage of pics and videos) GPU: ASUS ROG Strix Vega64 O8G Gaming Power Supply: ASUS ROG Thor 850w CPU Cooler: Coolermaster ML120L RGB Monitors: 2x Samsung C27F396 27" Curved monitors Case: Thermaltake P3 Wall Mounted I built it mostly to game, although I do the odd little thing in photoshop and illustrator, and once in a blue moon some video stuff in premiere. And wanted to have something pretty solid for getting into VR as I also just bought an Oculus rift. Seems to run pretty much any games with max settings really well, as so far so good with the Oculus. Just curious if there is anything I should have done differently, or if I did a pretty decent job.
