**Creating a Foolproof Automatic Garage Light with a Mini Hack**

As anyone who has ever lived in a garage knows, navigating into a dark space can be a challenge. To make life easier for those who work and play in their garages, we've developed a simple and effective mini hack that turns any ordinary garage into an automatic light source. The process is straightforward, requiring only a few basic materials and tools.

The first step is to flip over the modules and attach them to the existing wiring in the garage using double-sided tape. This allows us to take advantage of the existing circuit and avoid the need for additional wiring or installation costs. We then attached the modules above the door on the garage side, making sure to secure them firmly with more double-sided tape. Any extra wire was tied into place to ensure a smooth fit.

Next, we attached the magnetic contacts to the switch side of the module using double-sided tape, and secured the magnet side to the door. We made sure to get the polarity correct to ensure proper function. Finally, we soldered the remaining wires together and added a small piece of shrink tubing for extra protection. Since we want our circuit to be normally open, we attached the two remaining wires to the magnetic switch.

To complete the mini hack, we plugged in the AC adapter and tested the light out. Opening the door and closing it turned the LED lights on and off seamlessly. This foolproof method beats any motion sensing light and is a quick solution for illuminating your garage without breaking the bank.

**The iSmart Garage Gadget: Smartening Up Your Garage**

In addition to our mini hack, we also have another exciting product to show you - the iSmart gate gadget. This clever device claims to make life easier by turning your ordinary garage into a smart garage. The kit consists of two components: the iSmart gate cam and the actual iSmart gate that controls the garage door.

The iSmart gate cam looks like a normal HD wireless IP camera, complete with cabling, power cord, and mounting hardware. Inside the iSmart gate box is the smart garage opener itself - a sleek and compact design that fits neatly into your existing garage door setup. On the back of the device are all the connections that go to your garage door opener, as well as a wiring lead for connecting it to your existing system.

We set up the camera by simply talking through its configuration process, which was surprisingly easy. Once the camera was configured and ready to go, we mounted it on the back wall of the garage using adhesive tape. Next, we moved on to the iSmart gate opener itself, which is powered by a QR code that runs you through all the setup steps.

We attached the small sensor to the garage door, paying close attention to the up symbol as instructed. We popped off the cover and inserted the included batteries into the sensor, then used adhesive tape to secure it firmly to the top of the garage door. Finally, we mounted the iSmart opener to the bottom of our existing garage door opener using double-sided sticky tape.

To complete the setup, we attached two wires to the iSmart opener using a wire lead and located the proper connections on our existing garage door opener. We then plugged in the device and configured it through the app, which allowed us to see if our garage door was open or closed, even when we were away from home.

One of the standout features of the iSmart gate gadget is its compatibility with popular home devices - allowing you to control your garage door with just a voice command. It's clear that this device truly delivers on its promises and makes life easier for those who use their garages regularly.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, both our mini hack for creating an automatic garage light and the iSmart gate gadget have proven themselves to be effective solutions for making life easier in your garage. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy way to illuminate your space or want to take your garage to the next level with smart technology, these gadgets are definitely worth considering.

final pole piece and on top of that we'll put the little stop sign to activate it pull out the little plastic strip in the back and it's powered up so there it is built and kind of goofy-looking but let's see how this thing works just tapping the bottom part of a pole activates these stop signs flashing LED lights so the idea is to pull your car up in the garage and then bump into the little stop sign and it'll tell you stop as you can see right off the bat the parkies moves when you bump into it and that immediately changes the perfect parking spot plus I'm not actually sure that I want this thing sitting on my garage floor if you're having that much trouble figuring out where to stop in your garage better alternatives are the parking mats that get screwed into the garage floor with a little hump on them or the legendary classic tennis ball hanging from a string when your windshield gets close enough to the ball or bumps into it it's time to stop unfortunately the park ease is a weird gadget that doesn't really work so for that reason it gets a stinker before we get to our next garage gadget it's time for a kitty a mini hack garage based of course I picked up a truck bed LED
