The garage is one of the best home improvement projects you can make, and if you’re opting to create a connected home then it makes total sense to invest in a smart garage door.
Here are 4 reasons why you should upgrade to smart technology as soon as possible.
Security
Having a new smart garage door automatically removes the issue of whether you left it open when you leave the house.
Garages are often overlooked when it comes to security, but then you’d be surprised at how many intruders try to enter through the garage.
Upgrading or opting for a smart garage door repair Calgary gives you peace of mind knowing that your garage door is secure. You can use an app and look in your mobile, or close it with a single touch.
Reduce Smoke and Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide buildup happens fairly often, but a smart garage door can eliminate this issue.
Most smart technology will have monitoring systems, and in this case they will have sensors for detecting carbon monoxide and smoke. You can integrate it into your app and get timely alerts when this happens.
Track People and Traffic
Much like CCTV, you can monitor traffic going out and coming from your house and check if your family has gone home or out anytime.
Smart garage doors have logging capabilities and audio technology that lets you communicate with people.
Convenience
Smart technology lets you do things conveniently. Traditional garage doors require manual operation, which means you have to get out of your car every time you drive out or come home.
Nowadays you can have your smartphone communicate with your garage door via app- have it open when you’re five minutes away or check to see if it’s locked when you arrive at the office, for example.
