Abstract
A garage door opener system includes a motor, a sensor, a controller, and a network interface. The motor is coupled to the garage door and is configured to selectively raise the garage door and lower the garage door. The sensor is configured to monitor the doorway and distinguish between an object entering and exiting the doorway. The controller is coupled to the motor and is configured to generate signals that cause the motor to lower the garage door into a closed position based on signals received from the sensor and whether the object is entering or exiting the doorway. The network interface is configured to operatively couple the controller to a server via a network. The network interface further provides the server with information obtained from the sensor and receives a table comprising durations that the server customized based upon the received information.
