Yeah, I am really paranoid about the garage door. We use that as our primary entrance to the house, so it gets opened a lot. I have it set up so it illuminates on of the function keys on my Elk keypads, and I can close the door from any keypad as well. I also have a security camera in the garage, so I can see for sure if the door is closed.
What's more, I have the logic set up so that the door cannot be opened remotely--only shut. That way if someone finds my phone, they won't be able to just press the button to open the door.
I've never had a problem with anyone trying to take something out of my garage, but for some reason I am really paranoid about it. I have never left the garage door open overnight since implementing these HA controls. Prior to this, it was a couple of times a month that I went out to my car in the morning to go to work only to find the garage door wide open.
I hope that helps.
