I’m enjoying listening to the podcasts. For this show, I believe it was Ron that asked about a garage controller. Check out my Arduino-based garage controller that works with my Vera gateway on Instructables: http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Garage-Controller/. Besides opening/closing the garage door, I also control my front irrigation system.
