Mertnin.
Door opener sounds like fun. Just be careful with that Internet Of Things stuff. A lot of it will leave your wifi wide open to hackers, or so they say specifically about the door bell cameras and IOT security in general. Usually close my garage door when mowing the back yard. Got a keypad opener remote mounted on the door frame.
Just ordered a cheap doorbell with extender. UPS came to drop a package that required a signature both Fri and Sat and I nor the dog heared the doorbell. Don't use my front door that much so didn't even see the note until Sun. My office is at the opposite end of the house from the doorbell and if the TV is on the doorbell ain't loud enough. Today I left the front wooden door open, glass storm door closed, and Pepper heard the truck stop. Ordered a wireless with two chime boxes. Going to try to hack the transmitter so it will use the existing button. Looked for one that worked with home automation stuff but didn't find one yet so just got something cheap. $20 for the transmitter and 2 chimes. Got battery powered cause this house does NOT have enough outlets.
