What does a remote or smart opener upgrade involve in Basildon?

Is smart control secure?

Use a strong Wi-Fi password, keep the app updated, and only share access you can revoke. The door should still have its own safety devices; the app is a convenience, not a safety system.

What does a smart opener add?

App control lets you open and close the door from your phone, see whether it is open, and get alerts. Some systems allow time-limited access for family or deliveries.
