With Amazon’s Big Spring Sale now very much in full swing, the deals are coming thick and fast. There are discounts across all categories, not least smart home devices, and we found one that you won’t want to miss. If you order soon, you can pick up a Meross smart garage door opener for just $39, a 35% discount off the original $60 asking price. You don’t need to enter any codes or clip any coupons, but this deal isn’t going to last for long.

If you’re tired of getting wet when you open your own garage door in the rain, this is definitely the deal for you. This smart garage door opener doesn’t require any additional hubs and can work with all of the main smart home systems, including Amazon’s Alexa, Samsung’s SmartThings and Google Assistant.

Once up and running, you’ll be able to control the door using your phone and even just your voice, something you can’t do with that manual door — unless you count trying to get your kids to open it for you, that is.

Meross says that installation is quick and easy, so long as you have a strong Wi-Fi signal for your garage door opener to connect to. It also says that this latest version fixes some interference issues the previous one might have caused, too.

Why this deal matters

When you think of smart home tech, bulbs and light switches probably spring to mind. But opening the garage door is arguably much more useful, not least because you’ll always be able to tell if it’s closed after you’ve gotten into bed for the night — no more trudging downstairs to check.
