The brilliant box that lets you control your garage door with your phone is back under $40

I installed a pair of smart garage door openers in my house last year and I have to tell you, it might be the best smart home decision I’ve ever made. Seriously, I can’t tell you how much I love these things. I got a pair of Nexx NXG-200 Smart Wi-Fi Garage Door Controllers, which sell on Amazon for $80 a piece. It takes less than 10 minutes to install one of these little boxes, and I can’t think of a better way to spend 10 minutes.

First of all, I never have to deal with those frustrating garage door opener keypads anymore. Why on Earth do they never work on the first try?! I feel like these companies are trolling us at this point because I know there are weatherproof keypads out there that actually work. Another great benefit is the fact that you can see your garage door’s status in the app and control it from anywhere in the world. Have you ever rushed out of the house and then panicked sometime later because you couldn’t remember if you closed the garage? I do it at least a few times a year, but now I don’t have to panic anymore. I can see if the door is open in my app, and then I can close it with a single tap if I need to.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg, and I can’t recommend these devices enough. The Nexx model I have is great, but it’s a bit pricey at $80. Thankfully, there’s an even more popular option out there that’s on sale for less than half the price! The myQ Smart Garage Hub by Chamberlain does everything I mentioned above and more, and it’s back under $40 right now at Amazon. At that price, it’s no wonder why it’s the #1 best-seller. I’ve tested this model as well and I can’t recommend it enough — especially when it costs half as much as the model I use!
