I just love it. Well done.

Have you considered a weight sensor or maybe sound sensor to determine when to close again? I assume it’s on a timer at the moment.

Glad you liked it. ;) Closing is on timer for now, yes.

Maybe I will add an infra-red or sound sensor to make closing more intelligent. Good tip!
