ECE 196 Group Project: The Garage Controller

We set out to solve the lack of affordable, real-time garage monitoring and control by building an ESP32-powered system that streams door status, temperature, and air-quality data over MQTT to a secure web interface. From any device you can view live sensor readings, review a history of events, and even toggle your garage door remotely.
