The Smarthome Laser Garage Parking System is an inexpensive and easy solution to this common problem. Available in a single laser (for one car garages) or dual laser (for two car garages) models, the Laser Garage Parking System helps you identify the perfect parking spot in your garage each and every time you pull in by simply tracking the laser beam until it hits a pre-selected spot on your dash or hood. The easy-to-install Laser Garage Parking System mounts on your garage ceiling and projects a bright red laser beam toward the garage floor. As your car enters the garage, a motion detector triggers the laser beam to project onto your car’s hood and continues toward the dashboard. You determine the ideal parking spot and match that with where the laser beam projects onto your car.

Is your garage door safely closed? Are you sure?

Without having to rush through the house to get a good look at the largest door to your home, now you can be assured that the door is down with the Universal Garage Door Monitor, which uses a door-mounted sensor for accurate assessment of the garage door’s status. When the garage is opened, the sensor automatically sends a signal to the monitor, which can be plugged into any convenient location in your home for instant peace of mind.

The Universal Garage Door Monitor works with any overhead garage door. Mount the sensor to the back of your garage door with the included Velcro strip. When the door opens, the sensor moves into the horizontal position and sends a signal to the monitor that the door is open. The monitor then provides simple, visual cues to indicate your garage door’s status: When the light flashes red, the door is open; when the green light is on, the door is closed.
