Hey, Garage Door Opener Owners.
And the rest of us that are, simply homeowners that have a garage.
Here’s a thought you might wish to consider to improve your garage security.
Take one of your extra Wyze WiFi smart plugs (or another) and plug your garage door opener plug into it, and it into the outlet. Yes, put the WiFi smart plug between your GDO and power. You can see where this is going.
Now, when you wish, you can disable/enable power going to your GDO when needed. This is just another layer in home security that might one day make the difference in a break-in or not. What’s the cost to do this? $10-15 ?
Once in a while, my GDO needs to be reset. It needs to have power removed and restored. Once in a while, when I walk into a dark garage, I see one of the two bulbs dim but blinking. The manual says it needs to be reset. Well, this trick for security I described above is the secondary reason that I added a WiFi smart plug to my GDO. I am too lazy to climb a stepladder to unplug and plug it back in.
