Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.        When it comes to do it yourself home security, Skylink is continuing to innovate.   The latest is the Nova smart universal garage door controller…compatible with Amazon’s Alexa…and works from anywhere with an app.  The company’s Frank Cicero…says the idea is to transform your existing garage door opener…

“It may be five, ten years old, working fine and they really don’t want to go through the work or job of taking the thing down and replacing it with a smart one.    Well we have a retrofit kit.   So this kit will make your existing garage door opener that’s not a smart one, a smart one.  So you can control it and monitor from your app

The garage door controller can work with Skylink’s full range of connected alarm and alert systems…starting at about one hundred dollars.   Keep in mind the systems are self monitored.     You can find us at Techstination.com.   I’m Fred Fishkin.
