I can't vouch for this product as secure - but I got one as a gift and plugged it in to try it out. I installed it on a Guest VLAN so it doesn't have access to my whole home network.

I have this on my garage, mostly because occasionally I’m an idiot.

One feature that OP can use is that you can set a schedule to automatically open or close the door at given times. So in my case I have it set to close at noon and ten p.m. if it’s already closed nothing happens. If it’s open there’s a warning alarm for 10-15 seconds from the garage door opener and then it closes.
