You can even schedule your garage door to close at a specific time with the app.

$16 at Amazon

This is the most affordable this shopper favorite has been all year! This Prime Day deal is nearly 50% off and gives you so much peace of mind. To top that off: Think of all the gas money you'll save not driving back home.

There's so much anxiety that comes with home security, but knowing that your home vulnerable when you're nowhere close by is another story. This system lets you open or close your garage from anywhere using the free myQ app. It turns a basic garage into a smart garage.

Also cool: Amazon Prime members get a complimentary service called Amazon Key In-Garage Delivery. This service allows Prime delivery drivers to leave your packages and groceries inside your garage, protecting them from potential theft.

The garage control system comes with a mounting plate, Wi-Fi hub, door sensor, power adapter, hook and loop adhesive drops, screws and anchors. Keep in mind, though, that you will need a drill, Phillips screwdriver and ladder to install the system.

It works seamlessly with most brands of garage door openers made after 1993 that use photoelectric sensors that don't shut off.

With over 70,000 five-star reviews, this is sure to be one of those five-star Prime Day deals that just keeps on giving. (Over 10,000 shoppers have snapped one up in the past month alone!)

Pros 👍

"Maybe 15 minutes is needed for installation," one reviewer wrote. "You attach the main hub to a wall in your garage near a plus and then you put the sensor on the garage door. Most of the time I spent was just for it to connect to my Wi-Fi system. Very easy."

Another shopper said it comes in handy during those forgetful moments. "The app alerts me when the garage door goes up and down, and I have peace of mind if I think I forgot to close it," the shopper wrote.

"One of the standout features is the In-Garage Delivery, which keeps my packages safe and secure," another fan wrote. "This has significantly enhanced my daily routine, providing peace of mind and unparalleled convenience."

Cons 👎

One five-star fan had a minor con with the app: "I wish it had a widget so that I didn't have to pull up the app every time I leave or get home."

Another added that they'd love to see a feature that connects the system to the garage lights "to turn [them] on and off."

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
