Poorly named holiday experiment. A MyQ garage door opener with voice command support and a little animation.

Holiday 2017 Experiment

I broke our 20+ year old garage door opener...pieces flew everwhere in a glorious demise. The new "garage bot" is wifi enabled, so of course I must tinker. It's nothing mind-blowing, but it has been a good excuse to spend some time using a variety of things I've been wanting to explore:

• Flurl HTTP Client
• SkiaSharp SVG
• Reactive Extensions and ReactiveUI
• Xamarin.Forms CSS Stylesheets
• Azure Cognitive Services and Bing Speech Recognition

OpenSesame Garage Door Opener

Talking to the MyQ API. Supported actions:

• Login
• GetDevices
• GetDeviceState
• SetDeviceState (open and close)

If you want to use the MyQ API and (obviously) have a compatible garage door openeers, setup a Chamberlain or LiftMaster account through their website or app.

No SVG in Android

Where's the bot?! So sad.

Ugly on the Droid

Can do better. Will do better.

Maybe no border and shadow etc.
Lighter text and smaller font on entry.
