So we started talking about Smart Garage Openers in the Owner's Issues section:

I can understand wanting to control lights, cameras and your AC online and from apps on your phone, but I think I'm a little sketchy about controlling access to my home.
I understand these companies like to advertise the ability to give contractors and service companies access to your home remotely but I think I draw the line at having a cloud service being able to control entry to my home.
This is probably a minor concern because any seasoned thief can pick your lock, clone your garage door code etc... but it worries me a bit.
I think the main benefit would be to close my garage door in case I accidentally left it open (have done that a few times) or not having to bring keys with me when I go walking/biking since I always have my phone with me.
Is anyone else afraid of zombies hacking your online Garage Door account and sneaking in to snack on you?
