" Hello! This is Ross on behalf of expertvillage.com. That is my kitchen door and it is dark outside, it really doesn’t matter I cannot see the garage door anyhow if it was light out because it is blocked by the wall here. I did have to get up to open that door just to check if the garage door is open what did I do. You know I think I could probably get a rope that is it. Rope will be a great idea… Right you should do it, okay that is a pretty strong rope. Let me tie a loop and other one here we go, alright. Okay, now that is great man I can just sit here and relax and I want to know if the garage door is open I can just pull in the rope, okay. Well, see when you open a little bit there you go… This is great. Now I do not have to get up anymore to see if the garage door is open, I will just pull on it and garage door is close and they will be closing it, I guess I have to close the door though this is not the plan, I do not think that’s okay, that is not working… still I have to get up. What could I do? I know watched those videos about building circuits so I built a circuit I could take it and put a switch off by the garage door. Yeah, let me take a look, alright the garage door okay so if the garage door is open I can have switch up there those magnetic switches and I could go ahead and have it close a circuit and I could have some wires running up and they may be right through the door just kind of like through the door frame, not through it but just may be right through here just some small gauge wire. So I can use like may be 22-24 gauge wire on it through, that will be great and then I could have it sitting right there with the LED that is the idea, I am going to go build that circuit. "
