Does anyone know of any good links to a library that I could use to upload to make a smart phone garage door opener?
My plan is to make an a device (made up of adruino boards and a relay) that is programmed through adruino and is connected to my garage door opener panel located near my inside garage door(the person size door that leads into the house, not the one that the cars fit through). I was thinking I could get this adruino programmed device to communicate with WiFi and have my phone communicate with WiFi to activate the garage door opener.
I currently have the hardware necessary I believe I just need a code that would work. I plan on using an Adruino Uno board, a relay switch, and possibly an etherten board attached on top of the Adruino uno board (not entirely sure if that's the best way to do it) If anyone could hook me up with any links that would help with this project it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

For WiFi?
Connected to a wireless router, maybe.
Now that you've chosen the (reasonable) hardware, all you need to do is write the software.
Did you have a question?
Correct wireless router is what i meant. I'm an intern right now at Roush and i was told to come up with my own project to work on in down time and my co-workers agreed that this would be an appropiate project for my set of skills with adruino. The problem I have is knowing what library is appropriate for this project i have in mind, I'm curious if anyone has done a project such as this and could provide a link to a zip file of some sort.
I did find this zip file:
but the only arduino sketch in this file had nothing in it except included folders (attached). I'm looking more for already written software that i could play around with rather then starting from scratch. I'm not in any rush but i have hit a wall here and am trying to get some help via forums before asking my co-workers for help, so any help at anytime would be greatly appreciated.

Why are you concerned with a library, yet. You need to define what you role the Arduino is going to have, and what it is going to do. Presumably, the Arduino should be a server, and respond to requests like GET /?door=open HTTP/1.1 or GET /?door=close HTTP/1.1. That would require that it send a form, with open and close buttons, both named door, with values of open or close.

Are you looking to expand your skill set, or stay in your comfort zone?
Teleduino will do what you want.
