Great idea. The automatic open feature of 8.1 doesn't work for me at distances greater than 30 feet. Set farther away than 30 feet opens the door 6 inches and stops it -- worse than nothing at all. A voice command would make it easy to open the door from a distance. Pushing the Homelink on the touch screen works farther away, but it's a royal pain to do it, and it's so difficult to hit it while moving that it's not really safe.
