Yes, many garage doors can now be controlled with a mobile phone. Smart technology is constantly evolving and is becoming more prevalent in every aspect of our daily lives. This includes garage doors, and many modern doors can be opened and closed with just a tap of a phone.
At Rollerdor, we manufacture and supply quality roller garage doors to customers nationwide, and this includes products you can control from your phone. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at smart garage doors.
Can I control my garage door with my phone?
Yes, garage doors can be easily controlled from your phone, but first, you’ll need a smart garage door opener or a WiFi garage door opener. At Rollerdor, we supply a number of products from Somfy, one of the largest smart garage door suppliers in the world.
Your garage door can be equipped with a Somfy control box and a Somfy wireless safety edge kit. Then, a smart connectivity kit or Somfy Tahoma switch home automation hub can be connected to the door. These products easily allow the door to be opened and closed from your mobile phone.
As well as this, for extra integration, the Somfy Tahoma hub can even be connected to other parts of your home, such as blinds and lights.
What are the benefits of opening a garage door with your phone?
While opening your garage door with your phone might seem like a luxury, it actually offers a wide range of practical benefits, too. These include:
ConvenienceÂ
Opening your garage door with your phone means you don’t even have to leave your car to enter or exit the garage, and it removes the hassle of remembering your handset. As most people carry their phones at all times, you’ll never be locked out and can gain access with just a tap of a button.
Remote accessÂ
Connecting your garage door to your phone allows you remote access, meaning you can control it from virtually anywhere. Whether you’re miles away from your home or just in a different part of the house, this is useful if a family member has forgotten their key.
At Rollerdor, we can help you with smart garage door systems. If you want a new garage door that is modern, convenient and enhances security, then our Somfy systems are the way to go. We can supply you with a quality door and a range of Somfy accessories — plus, easy-to-understand installation guides will also be provided to make the whole process a breeze. For more information, get in touch with our team today.
