What is a trigBoard? Basically just an extremely low power platform for the ESP8266 WiFi Module that can be woken up externally from a switch. Check this out for more info: youtube.com/watch?v=y0XkklwPk5o&t=22s

Just expanding on my last project where we use the trigBoard to tell us if the garage is still open - that video here:youtu.be/NCG78lckmWw

But in this video I show how that same exact code can be used to check if the dead bolt is still locked... pretty cool!!
