I have one of these but have not had the time to install it yet. I had a Garadget (https://www.garadget.com/) but after about a year and a half it stopped connecting to the network and when reset it would no longer pair.

When I have time ill be installing the one listed in the article.

>Like Ars Senior Technology Editor Lee Hutchinson, I have a garage. The door on that garage is opened and closed by a device made by a company that, as with Lee's, offers you a way to open and close it with a smartphone app. But that app doesn't work with my preferred home automation system, Home Assistant, and also looks and works like an app made by a garage door company.

I can't say I've ever had the need to open and close the door remotely. I do have a sensor that tells when it's up or down, but that's an old IT monitor device that sends email via the local network's email server.

This looks like you still need a cloud service to access it remotely. That's a no thank you right away.

Do what works for you. I do like having the remote control that does not rely on something sitting in my car outside of the garage especially with all of the nigger faggots breaking into cars to get your remote to try to raid your house or at least steal shit from your garage.
