Build a garage door opener with a Particle core and Blynk

Particle Core is another arduino like clone that supports wifi.  The author combines it with Blynk, a simple tool to control the arduino via android, to open/close a garage door.  I am not sure how secure this is against something like a replay attack.  Figure this would cost about $30 in parts.  Interesting bit about how the relays sometimes don’t work well when upside down.
