Ryobi has entered the garage-door market with a model that does way more than raise and lower a door. The base unit offers a 2-hp motor, a wall controller, a wireless keypad, two remotes, a safety sensor, and motion-controlled overhead LED lighting. The unit plugs into a standard outlet, but also accommodates a One+ battery that gets charged when not in use, and can operate as backup power for up to 100 open-and-close cycles. Other creative modules include a laser-light parking assist, retractable cord reel, Bluetooth speaker, a fan, and a forthcoming carbon monoxide detector. The wi-fi-compatible Ryobi One+ Garage Door Opener retails for $240 and accessory modules range from $45 to $65. ryobitools.com
