A decade ago, building automation was in the realm of those privileged enough to want to open their curtains with a remote control. Thankfully, this technology is now much more accessible to modest homeowners and able to be controlled via any enabled device eg: iPad or iPhone. The peace of mind we can now achieve from anywhere across the globe just be checking in on our device to a) visually see if we DID, in fact, forget to close the roller door and b) swipe right to close and arm the door in question. Building automation administered remotely via a web-enabled app on a smart device? No wonder this option is popular.
