Is There an App for That?
Safe, Secure, and Hands-Free Flexibility
One of the best
reasons to invest in an automatic garage door opener has gotten better. In
recent years, the expansion of computer-based integration has opened up an
entirely new platform for interconnective applications. Now, with a tap, swipe
or click on your phone, you can open up your garage door world and invite it to
join you in the future.
After years of
dedicated, trustworthy service, that visor-clipped remote can be put to rest or
at least on reserve leave. However, if you are considering a tech upgrade to
better boost your garage door ease of access, maintain a constant connection
with security, and provide auto-backup options without worrying about wires and
circuits. An app is most definitely worth looking into.

By Choice and with Voice
Apps run by device and require one of two hubs as their source of plug-in extension; either Bluetooth or wifi and as with all things comparative on the mobile tech side of the net verse, are designated as data-driven or internet dependent. So perhaps the top two discussion points to hit on when it comes to gaining optimal features and functionality with a garage door phone app is a short or long-range value that fits your specific requirements.
- Bluetooth requires that you must be within 20 feet to operate your app
Whereas
- Wifi is connected to your existing internet service.
- Price ranges are competitive and relatively affordable.
Right smack dab in the middle is the Smart technology that can switch between options. Still relatively new, mobile apps for garage door openers have many customers starting with more user-friendly and familiar wifi. Via iSMART, iPad, tablet, or Droid, the remote possibilities are endless.
Imagine the
freedom of vocal command with a SIRI or ALEXA always in the passenger seat
acting as your own virtual parking valet. Speaking of voice connectivity,
everything tech is a personal choice, so when speaking with Ronen at Mass
Garage Doors Expert, he can certainly assist you with the best
purchase, make, and installation setup for you.
Free App Trap
While you may be lured into the "free app for that" ploy, you are urged to not rely heavily on lite duty functionality for something as important as a safe, secure, and valuable as your garage door and the contents it protects. Economically speaking, an investment between $40.00 and $80.00 is standard but also pay attention and look for monthly or annual operation subscription fees. So, is it worth the bang for the buck? Keep reading to see what other perks and advantages await you to open up with an app.
The best apps on the
market operate in conjunction with a mandatory transceiver that requires proper
installation and programming, just like any other remote device. Considered to
be the brain, these devices can utilize both Bluetooth and wifi ethernet. In
addition, allow add-ons like a smartwatch, can set up alarm systems, include
internal cameras, can be used by multiple shared devices within your home and
residents, and can automatically close the door for you should you have
forgotten to do so.
Lights on or off? Yes, it is also an energy-saving helper. Another positive that comes in handy is the convenience of allowing password access to people of your choice, so should you have visitors or are a guest in someone else's home, you can use a password-protected "spare key".
