Why a Smart Home Starts in the Garage
Installing a smart garage door opener could be the gateway to whole home automation.
Have you ever considered getting a smart garage door opener? WiFi enabled garage door openers are typically advertised as a convenience—they provide the ability to control your garage door using your smartphone rather than a battery-powered clicker. Not only does this prevent issues with misplacing your garage door opener, it also frees you from the annoying hassle of changing out dead garage door opener batteries.
But in reality, a smart garage door opener can do a lot more than just replace your traditional garage door opener remote. It can serve as a sort of gateway to whole home automation, allowing you to:
Operate the Door Remotely: The ability to open and close the door from anywhere you have an internet connection is useful for a lot more than just closing the door if you forgot to do so when you left the house. You can also use these feature as a sort of access control system whenever you need to let a maid, pet sitter, or service worker inside your home. Simply have the person call you when they arrive, and you can use your phone to let them in the house via the garage.
Monitor Your Home Security: Some of the apps that control smart garage door openers will send you an alert (or create a log you can check later) every time the garage door is opened or closed. This can help you keep tabs on any unauthorized access to your home.
Connect To Home Automation Systems: If you have other smart controls in your home, such as a smart thermostat or a system to control your lights and appliances, you may be able to connect your garage door opener to these systems. This will allow you to automate actions like turning the lights on when you open the garage door, or turning all cooking appliances off when you close the garage door.
