I installed a WI-FI doorbell camera and and a WI-FI garage door adapter. No need to replace the door opener with the Nexx garage door opener. The Nexx works like any other garage door button except it's an app on your phone.
So, the contractor either show up at your door, you recognize him using your doorbell camera or he calls you when he's there, and you open the garage door. If the said contractor only needs to get into the garage, you can have your house door locked, and just open the garage door itself. The app is Nexx Home. The door opener wires in parallel to your button. You can also set up notifications if the door is open or opened. How many of us have driven off and gotten a mile away to ask ourselves, DID I CLOSE THE GARAGE DOOR? Pull over and check your phone. Close it from where you are.
It does take a 2Giga bit network. Xfinity's routers are set up with 5Gb, but they have both available on their routers.
Nex has some great videos on how to set them up.
