Garage door openers are a vital component of your garage setup; choosing one that is Wi-Fi-enabled offers a host of benefits to make it even more convenient. Below are four reasons to install one.

Why Choose a Garage Door Opener With Wi-Fi Capability?

1. Easy to Use

All you need is a smartphone to make a Wi-Fi-enabled garage door opener work. Since most people carry their phones everywhere they go, you won’t have to worry about a remote or keypad, and you will rarely be without a way to open your door.

2. Simple Upgrade

Some Wi-Fi models are add-on pieces that can be installed on existing openers. This means you don’t need to install a new system, saving you time and money. Once placed on your unit, download the required apps on your smartphone to use your new opener.

3. Better Security

It’s tricky to share the garage’s PIN code with those who may need access. The more people who have it, the less secure your home is. Wi-Fi openers allow you to better control who can get in and when. The door can be programmed to open and close remotely. The controls can even be set so that they won’t operate during certain times of the day or while you’re away.

4. Helpful Alerts

Working remotely from an app also allows the option for alerts you can check on your smartphone. It’s possible to track who’s using the door, and you will be notified if it’s left open for too long. You can also close the door from anywhere if you forgot to do so.
