The only thing more infuriating than leaving something important at home is realizing that you’ve left your garage door open. And unless you have someone at home to close it for you, you’re left with no choice but to drive back and shut it yourself.

You don’t have to bother anyone if you happen to have a smart garage door opener installed. Owning one lets you remotely control it from anywhere through your smartphone. And besides, you’ve probably already smartified almost everything else in your house. Smartifying the garage is a no-brainer.

Below are a variety of smart garage openers you can snag on sale. Don’t worry, none of them would be disabled without your consent.

Garnering a 4.5-star rating on Amazon, this smart garage opener integrates with your existing IP camera for real-time video monitoring, giving you total garage security.
