The affordable controller gives users the ability to control their garage door with [voice commands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voiceactivated-building), remote access and auto opening, all in a fuss-free and [easy to install](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-switch1) package. The Nexx Garage is currently compatible with the [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neo-connect-smart) Alexa or Google Assistant. Setting up smart devices may seem like a chore, but the Nexx Garage controller makes installation incredibly easy with just two sensors and one Wi-Fi device. The two sensors attach directly to the garage door opener and can be secured with either double-sided tape or a pair of screws. Wires from the sensors connect easily to the Wi-Fi device and the internal software can easily be set-up using the Nexx Garage app. Any preferences can be implemented through the app, and the device can even send notifications when the garage door is opened and closed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Smart-home Automation:** The trend of smart-control garages is part of the larger trend of smart-home automation, offering opportunities for disruptive innovation in creating seamless and integrated smart-home experiences. - **Voice-activated Technology:** The use of voice commands to control garage doors highlights the trend of voice-activated technology, presenting opportunities for disruptive innovation in voice interfaces and integration with virtual assistants. - **Internet of Things (iot):** The Nexx Garage's remote access and auto-opening capabilities demonstrate how IoT is making everyday objects smarter, leading to disruptive innovation possibilities in creating connected and intelligent environments. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Smart-home Technology:** The smart-control garage trend opens up opportunities for the smart-home technology industry to develop innovative solutions for managing various aspects of the home using connected devices and automation. - **Voice-controlled Devices:** The integration of voice commands with garage door control creates opportunities for the voice-controlled devices industry to expand its offerings and develop new voice interfaces for different applications and appliances. - **Internet of Things (iot) Solutions:** The Nexx Garage's features highlight the IoT solutions industry's potential to create innovative products and services that enable remote control, monitoring, and automation of everyday objects and infrastructure. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Garage-Monitoring Security Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyze-cam-v3-garage-door-controller.md) - [AI-Powered Garage Security Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eufy-security-solo-garagecam-c22.md) - [Camera-Equipped Garage Door Keypads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garage-door-video-keypad.md) - [Connected Auto-Locking Door Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuki-smart-lock-20.md) - [Smart Blind Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neo-connect-smart.md) - [AI-Enhanced Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/myq-secure-view.md) - [Intelligent Three-In-One Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threeinone-smart-lock.md) - [Voice Access Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voiceactivated-building.md) - [Connected Ceiling Fan Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-nest-ceiling-fan.md)
