ESPHome Garage Door Code and build

This setup was used to replace the code on my GarHage garage door open setup that I have used for 2 years. That project has not been support and OTA never worked. I got sick of pulling it off the ceiling in my garage to flash it if I made changes.

In comes ESPHome. I am super happy with how easy ESPHome is to use and how well it works. I use it inside of Home Assistant which makes adding to my smart home a breeze.

I will add a description of my build of the the hardware later, but for now my code is below.

My use case for this device is I control two seperate garage doors from the same NodeMcu. My openers are also Security+ 2.0, so I wired my relays into a remote opener. You could also wire into the key pad if you dare.

Note: I am using secrets in HA and substitutions in ESPHome.
