Not a big issue but I like to know when somebody is opening the garage door (our in-laws used to let themselves in via the garage) and coming into the house.
Besides--how would the dogs know you are home? LOL They definitely hear the chain and run to the hallway door for the greet-party.
Belt much quieter if that is an issue for you...

My chamberlain is Wi-Fi enabled belt drive opener tells me when the garage door opens or closes on my phone through the MyQ app. Most importantly though, I scheduled it to close at 9 PM every night in case I forget to close it. The MyQ app is great. I can open and close it from anywhere and it lets you know the current status of the door. You can even add a camera if you want. It's the very first thing I replaced when I moved into my house last year.

I didn't bother installing the key keypad because if somebody needs to get into my garage they can text me and I can open it for them (so I don't have to give out my code).
It's a little more spending but absolutely worth every penny.
