What is a Smart Garage Door Opener?

A smart garage door opener is a modern electrical opener for your garage door, which is equipped or retrofitted with intelligent technology.

You can open and close your garage door conveniently using a smartphone app. You also have the option of checking the current status of your garage door at any time using an app. So you always know if it's open or closed – a great benefit when it comes to security. You can also use the app to control other functions such as the light in your garage. And the best thing of all: These functions can be used around the world as long as you have an internet connection.

What Are the Advantages of a Smart Garage Door Opener?

Convenience: You’ve always got your smartphone with you anyway – and therefore the perfect remote control for your garage door. That makes opening and closing the door, such as from inside your car, even more convenient. You don’t need additional hand transmitters.

Worldwide control: You can now control and monitor your garage door from anywhere in the world. You can always see whether your door is open or closed.

Notifications: Push notifications inform you when the door is open or closed.

Access management: You can easily enable access to the garage for friends and family members and manage access.

Self-closing: Set up an auto-close timer to automatically close the garage door after a specific time. Important: For this function, a light barrier is required to ensure that your garage door only closes when there is no obstacle in the way.

Geofencing: Define a virtual boundary for a specific area around your home. When you enter this zone, the maveo app sends you a push notification and offers you a quick option to open your garage door. You can therefore drive directly into your garage without having to wait for the door to open.

Light on and off: Turn on your garage door opener’s light with a simple tap of the app for greater safety and visibility in the garage.

Live status: With real-time status updates right in your smartphone, you always know if your garage door is open or closed.
