Home automation systems now allow us to retain control of every facet of our property, whether we’re in the home or around the world.
At the touch‑of‑a-button, you can change your home temperature, review live security camera footage and manage your HVAC systems to ensure optimal efficiency.
It’s the convenience we all crave as part of the quintessential modern lifestyle. Now, even the simple garage door has been upgraded and automated for our convenience. Here, we’ll take a look at the most popular smartphone apps that will help you automate your garage door.
Liftmaster MyQ Technology
The Liftmaster MyQ garage door opener app empowers users with real‑time information on their garage door and its position. It’s a product designed to provide you with peace of mind on your home security. A leading advantage of the Liftmaster MyQ product is it sends alert messages directly to your phone when your garage door or gate opens or closes.
The Liftmaster MyQ simply requires a link between your Internet router and the device. You’ll then be able to open and close your garage door and even control home lighting directly from your phone.
GoGo Gate
Each GoGo Gate device has been designed to remotely open or close up‑to three garage doors, while allowing you to record all area events using your existing IP camera. This garage door opener app can also operate without an Internet connection, providing security to those without constant access to the Internet.
GarageMate
A leading advantage to the GarageMate product is that it has been proven effective within high humidity environments and freezing temperatures. And the security system utilized by GarageMate means that it never leaves your garage door open accidentally. The system is compatible with any garage door manufactured in the last 30 years.
Craftsman Assurelink
The Craftsman Assurelink system features rolling code technology, a security feature that will change the wireless code for the garage door opener each time you operate it. The product also comes replete with Diehard® Battery Backup, which ensures it remains operational even in power outages, for complete home security.
Arduino WiFi Garage Door Opener
For those who prefer the DIY approach to designing a garage door opener, why not consider the Arduino WiFi Garage Door Opener? This DIY programmable system allows you to create a garage door opener with its own functions and design advantages. It’s the ideal system for those with the time and the skill to optimize their own garage door opener.
With the latest garage automation systems (available for both iOS and Android phones) you can maximize your time, your home energy efficiency and your security at the touch of an on‑screen button.
