ABSTRACT:
A garage monitoring system for use with an automatic garage door opening mechanism that includes a carbon monoxide detector configured to sense the presence of carbon monoxide within the garage and generate an audible alarm when carbon monoxide reaches a predetermined level in the garage. A heater is positioned adjacent the carbon monoxide detector for maintaining the carbon monoxide detector above a minimum operational temperature. The garage monitoring system further includes a garage door position sensor for determining the position of the garage door and generating a signal corresponding to the position of the garage door. A monitoring mechanism interfaces with the garage door opening mechanism, the monitoring mechanism including an acoustic detector for sensing audible sounds, including an audible alarm from the carbon monoxide detector, and for generating a signal to the garage door opening mechanism to open the garage door when the carbon monoxide detector generates an alarm and the garage door position sensor indicates that the garage door is not in the open position.
