This is very cool, but I'm surprised a garage opener with this type of interaction doesn't already exists.


I mean, garage door remotes cost $5, the battery lasts for years, and all you do is press one button. I just can't see why you would want to make a voice-activated garage door remote.

(Integrating it into a phone is slightly more compelling)


In the case of this house specifically, most people walk/bike rather than drive, and walking around with a garage opener in your pocket isn't as nice as talking into your headphones.


Why would someone walking need to open the garage?


the door is locked and we don't carry keys :)
