5 Benefits of Installing a Smart Garage Door Opener

Smart home, business, and security technology extend to operating your garage door remotely via your Wi-Fi system at home or at your place of business and an app on your smartphone. Smart garage door openers can be installed on almost any existing or new custom garage door.

Features of smart door openers include:

• Ability to operate the door remotely via an app on your smartphone – from anywhere.
• Integration with online systems such as Alexa and Google Assistant.
• Automatic opening and closing based on the user's location. 
• Scheduling closing times via the app on your smartphone.
• Real-time notifications of attempts to access the garage, unauthorized movement in the garage, or the garage door being left open.

There are five key benefits to having a smart garage door opener:

More Safety For You and Your Family 

When you think about the safety and security benefits of smart garage door openers, the first thing you’ll think of is the safety benefit of being able to close your garage door remotely if you leave it open.

However, when integrated with other smart security and monitoring systems, the capabilities of a smart garage door opener can contribute significantly to safety and security – for your family, and for your business. 

Your Door Will Never Be Left Open 

Smart garage door openers will close themselves when you leave your property, thanks to a ‘geofencing’ feature. You will not need to remember to lock the garage yourself with your smart device. The geofencing app will sense when you have driven away from the garage and close the door automatically.

You will not be at risk of leaving your garage door open by mistake if you forget to close it – from home or remotely. You can use the app on your phone to set closing times after you leave the garage. You can also use an app to get alerts if the door is open for too long, or if someone else leaves it open.

Another great benefit of smart garage door systems is that the app can be preset to close the garage doors at specific times every day. It couldn’t get easier!

Open Your Door Wherever You Are 

As with modern smart home technology, smart garage door openers allow you to open and close your doors from anywhere in the world. If you have taken a vacation, and a friend, family member, or customer needs something from your home garage or your workshop or retail garage, you can allow them entry with the garage door opener app on your smartphone. You can monitor activity and close the door just as easily as you opened it – all while having lunch in Italy or drinking gluhwein on Colorado ski slopes. No need to leave keys with friends, call anyone to help, rely on employees, or share access codes.

It Increases Your Property Value 

Smart garage door openers increase the value of a residential or commercial property. The curb appeal benefit of custom garage doors is further increased when the smart garage door system is integrated with other smart security and convenience systems for homes and businesses. 

A smart door opener that adds convenience, smooth operations, and security adds value - from both a buyer's perspective and in property or business valuations. 

Convenience 

There is no doubt that smart garage door openers offer the most convenient way of managing the opening and closing of your garage doors. You need never worry again that you may have left the garage door open, or worry about leaving a controller with someone else when you go away. You know that the goods inside your garage are safe, and real-time updates on the status of your garage doors give you peace of mind at all times. As an added convenience, your smart door opener can open up the garage doors for you when you are near. You do not need to fumble for your phone or a remote.
