Developer Collaborates with AI to Run Garage Door Recognition Neural Network on ESP32-CAM
To prevent accidentally leaving a garage door open overnight, a developer worked with AI to deploy an edge neural network sensor onto a thumb-sized ESP32-CAM microcontroller.
The project addressed challenges including an end-to-end telemetry loop, extreme data imbalance, and QAT quantization loss.
The edge AI system was successfully running on the microcontroller in 10 hours of collaboration.
To solve the problem of accidentally leaving my garage door open overnight, I collaborated with AI to build an edge neural network sensor on a thumb-sized ESP32-CAM. This article details how we completed the end-to-end telemetry loop, tackled extreme data imbalance and QAT quantization loss, and got edge AI running on a microcontroller in just 10 hours.
