I remember that at the beginning of the launch of the first products with HomeKit compatibility, the prices were quite high for that of "activating or deactivating" a light bulb from our iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch. But with the passage of time, firms have gotten on their feet and now it is easier to find good products with reasonable prices in most cases.
The good thing about HomeKit is that there are more and more products available and compatible, in addition the installation is so simple that anyone can domotize their home to activate or deactivate lights, control the heating or air conditioning or even as with this new product, open and close the garage door from our Mac, iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch.
A new controller to open and close the home garage
This time it is a device from the Insignia firm, which allows us to open or close our garage door from any device compatible with HomeKit. This new product we cannot say that it is as simple to install as an E27 bulb in a socket or an LED strip that is connected to the home socket. In any case, it does not seem complicated to install either since it is simply connected to the control cable of our door and then it is ready to use.
It is true that there are several options for our garage door to become intelligent and we can access it from anywhere, but in this case it seems that the product launched by Insignia goes a step further and It becomes a great product to automate the door. The only negative about this product is that it seems that right now it is not available for purchase in our country, but surely more similar products will arrive soon that allow us to enjoy a little more simple home automation to all of us who like it.
