“Who cares?” you ask… well, having my iPhone to control my garage means:

  • I can be in a car that doesn’t have my garage code programmed into it and open/close my garage (e.g. a friend’s car)
  • I can go out for a walk or a run, close the garage door behind me and open it again when I get back home
  • Generally speaking, it’s one less box to worry about when I go out
  • I can open and close my garage door from my iPhone… just for the sheer pleasure of the act
  • And of course, I have a cool thing to show friends when they come over.

Head over to his blog for detailed instructions on how he accomplished this task!
