The $200 unit detects up to 10 separate cellphones at up to 33 feet (standard low-power Bluetooth range), and hooks up to the door-opening system to enable you to get hands-free entrance. The site says this is more of an industrial use, and attaches to "gates, overhead doors and parking barriers," so it's less of you getting into your home. Still, it's quite useful.

<![CDATA[Electric Door Opener]]> We can see how an electric door opener is useful for small children, the elderly, and the infirmed, but if you're using this because you can't manage to get off your ass for 30 seconds to open the door for the UPS guy, you should just go smack your mother right now for not raising the lazy out of you.

This Swing Door Opener works on left and right swinging doors, and the remote can be assigned to two different openers simultaneously. A timer mode allows the door to be automatically closed after being open a pre-set period of time.

All this automation will run you $324.99, which is worth it if you're in one of those three categories above (young, old, sickly), but not if you're just a fat slob.
