> Ah, now it makes sense. Your garage door opener app isn't here only to open your garage door; it's here to display ads and upsell you on services.

I mean... who, while waiting to get into or out of garage, sitting in the car or soon to be sitting in the car clicks on ads to buy something? Wouldn't conversion rates be ridiculous?

Not that everything else is wrong there with current approaches to IoT: Blocking 3rd party apps, needing 3rd party cloud server somewhere to open garage door, putting ads on top of actual button, needing special app to operate, be dependent on internet. Cannot comment on security for this particular product, but that is a topic on its own.
