Whois & Analysis for chamberlain.com

A garage door opener is a motorized device that opens and closes garage doors.

Most are controlled by switches on the garage wall, as well as by remote controls carried by the owner.

Home automation or smart home (also known as domotics) is building automation for the home.

It involves the control and automation of lighting, heating (such as smart thermostats), ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), and security, as well as home appliances such as washer/dryers, ovens or refrigerators/freezers.

Wi-Fi is often used for remote monitoring and control.

Home devices, when remotely monitored and controlled via the Internet, are an important constituent of the Internet of Things.

Modern systems generally consist of switches and sensors connected to a central hub sometimes called a "gateway" from which the system is controlled with a user interface that is interacted either with a wall-mounted terminal, mobile phone software, tablet computer or a web interface, often but not always via Internet cloud services.

In electronics, a remote control is a component of an electronic device used to operate the device wirelessly from a distance.

For example, in consumer electronics, a remote control can be used to operate devices such as a television set, DVD player, or other home appliance, from a short distance.

A remote control is primarily a convenience feature for the user, and can allow operation of devices that are out of convenient reach for direct operation of controls.

In some cases, remote controls allow a person to operate a device that they otherwise would not be able to reach, as when a garage door opener is triggered from outside or when a Digital Light Processing projector that is mounted on a high ceiling is controlled by a person from the floor level.
