How To Automate A Garage Door With Your Miami Security System

Have you ever exited your residence in such a hurry you couldn’t remember if you secured the garage? No need to worry; it happens to everyone. Fortunately, there’s now a simple way to avoid this situation. Advanced home security systems and their linked apps allow you to automate garage doors and run them remotely. Learn more about how automation is achieved and the benefits it provides.

How Is Garage Door Automation Possible?

Having your garage open all day is like a red carpet to would-be thieves. It’s now possible to protect against this threat with the assistance of your home security system. Top security organizations like ADT offer compatibility with most garage door openers if you’re using conventional sectional doors. You will simply need to position a sensor on the door and hardwire the supplied controller to the appropriate terminals of your opener. This configuration will connect your home’s security to your garage door.

What Sort Of Garage Door Automation Is Possible?

Automation will bring another level of convenience and security to your life. Here are some of the ways you can automate and adjust your garage door in Miami using your mobile security app:

  • Set a scene: When you return home, would you like having your thermostat, garage door, and lights adjust automatically? You can make it so by creating a scene through your home security app that is initiated by the tap of a button.
  • Voice activation: Many security systems are accessible through smart speakers. You may issue an instruction like “close the garage door " without having to even enter the garage.
  • Geofencing: The height of automation convenience, geofencing lets integrated devices operate based simply on your location. This advanced functionality uses the GPS technology on your smartphone. Your garage will operate when you enter or leave the geofencing zone, which you can customize to your specifications. Your garage will be accessible when you pull in, allowing you to roll right in.
  • Remote access: Even if you aren’t using automation with scenes or geofencing, you may still engage your garage door from afar. Do you think you drove off without shutting it? Go into your smartphone app, check the door’s state, and open or close it as needed.

Off-site access and automation will help you monitor and control your biggest entry point, which is often entered by opportunistic thieves. To increase this area’s protection even more, consider using motion-detection lights and exterior video cameras.
