Abstract:
1. A carbon monoxide activated garage door opening system for preventing exposure to lethal levels of carbon monoxide inside a garage, said carbon monoxide activated garage door opening system comprising: a garage door opening system adapted to be connected to an existing garage door; a user interface communicatively coupled to said garage door opening system for toggling said garage door between open and closed positions based upon receiving a corresponding user input at said user interface, said user interface having a first carbon monoxide detector located therein for detecting an initial carbon monoxide level in the ambient air surrounding said user interface; and a second carbon monoxide detector attached to a rear side of said user interface for confirming whether said initial carbon monoxide level is an unsafe carbon monoxide level; wherein, upon validating said unsafe carbon monoxide level, said user interface is adapted to automatically override said user input and thereby open the garage door.
