What Is a Smart Garage Door Opener?
Smart garage door openers function in the same way as standard openers, but have WiFi capabilities which allow for convenient opening. Instead of a wall-mounted key pad or remote control, smart openers allow you to operate your garage door from an app on your phone. The app also monitors garage activity, keeping an operation log for security. Beyond even these great skills, smart openers can also be programmed for more functions. These include opening at certain times of the day or alerting you if your door is accidentally left open. All in all, a new smart opener will upgrade the security, convenience, and safety of both your garage and home.
A broad range of accessories can also upgrade the standard smart capabilities. These garage smart tools will allow your garage door system to do even more to protect your family and ensure your home’s easy accessibility.
