In the modern world of being connected, convenience and security are no longer things you would like to have but rather things you should have. That’s true of your garage door as well. We know that homeowners want to be in control. That’s why we suggest upgrading to a smart garage door remote—a new-age solution that does more than just “click.”

If you’re still using your standard garage door remote, consider upgrading to a smart remote.

Control Your Garage Door From Anywhere

Smart garage door remotes have one feature that stands above the rest: you can operate your garage door at home or elsewhere. You can open or close your garage door either locally (at home) or remotely using a smartphone app, wherever you are at work, out shopping, or even on vacation. No more turning back because you forgot to close the door!

Better Security For Your Home

Wi-Fi-enabled garage door remotes are equipped with security systems to help prevent unauthorized individuals from entering. You can track when the garage is opened and closed, receive alerts if it’s been open for too long, and even create temporary access codes for guests, delivery workers, or contractors. That means more peace of mind—whether you’re in your home or out in the world.

Monitoring of Activities and Notifications

Many smart systems keep a running log of all this activity, so you can also see easily when the garage door is opened and closed. Your phone will be alerted instantly if someone tries to get into your garage when they shouldn’t want to or if your garage door ever gets left open. It’s as if you had a security guard for your garage.

Smart Home System Integration

If you already have smart home devices (such as Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit), a smart garage door remote can be easily integrated into them. You can give it simple voice commands or set it up to close at certain times of the day.

Convenient and Easy to Use

A smart garage door remote eliminates the need to search for a regular remote or find out that you’ve lost it at the most inconvenient moment. Your phone is your remote—always at arm’s length. You can add or deny access to family members in real time, saving them the trouble of sharing a spare remote.

Increased Property Value

Smart home updates quickly become a key selling point for today’s home buyers. Not only does a smart garage door system make your life easier, but it may also increase your home’s curb appeal and value if you choose to sell in the future.

Battery and Maintenance Indicator Icons

Most smart garage door systems will notify you of low battery or maintenance alerts — because your garage door should always be reliable and working.
