Getting Started

To set up GaragePilot, you'll need:

  1. An MQTT server (HiveMQ, Mosquitto, or similar)
  2. A garage door controller that supports MQTT commands
  3. Network connectivity between your Android device and MQTT server

Common Issues

If you're having trouble connecting to your MQTT server:

  • Verify your MQTT server address and port
  • Check your username and password
  • Ensure your device has network access to the MQTT server
  • Test the connection with another MQTT client

  • Grant location permissions to the app
  • Enable background app refresh
  • Check that automation is enabled in settings
