How the Internet Gateway Works
11/30/2014 Back To BlogWe must admit that garage door opener manufacturers often come up with some brilliant ideas on how to reinforce security and convenience. That's exactly the purpose of the Liftmaster Internet Gateway device. Nowadays, the majority of people work long hours, and thus spend the whole day away from the house.

You can open the door or close it but also control the houselights. It's perhaps the first actual steps towards a smart home situation.
