A device employed to operate a garage door manufactured by Avanti is categorized as a radio-frequency transmitter. This handheld unit sends a coded signal to a receiver located within the garage door opener, initiating the opening or closing sequence. An example would be a homeowner pressing a button on the device while approaching their residence, thereby activating the garage door without physical interaction.
These devices offer considerable convenience and enhanced security. The ability to remotely control entry to a garage eliminates the need for manual operation, particularly useful during inclement weather. Furthermore, the rolling code technology commonly integrated into these remotes prevents unauthorized access, mitigating the risk of code interception and subsequent intrusion. The technology evolved from basic on/off switches to complex encrypted systems, providing significant enhancements in garage security.
