Back-end server that handles apis for the garage door. Main functions are: It saves the garage door state (opened or closed). It sends commands to the raspberry pi garage door client to open or close the garage door. It notifies the users if the garage door is left open. It will notify the alarm server api when the door is opening or closing if the alarm is armed.
I suggest you first read about the different components of the home automation application.
This will help you understand better the general architecture and different functions of the system.
