To the person asking about LEDs, there are specific LED garage bulbs you can buy (don't know if they work) but I do know lots of garage door openers state to not use LED bulbs as they interfere with the signal (or vastly cut it down).
Locks only keep honest people out. A criminal that wants to get in will get in. If you wanted to be clever you could simply set the command to something esoteric, like, "Computer, open says me".
<- security analyst with an Alexa enabled garage, because I know how silly it is to think a lock is going to stop a "smart robber", or even a dumb one with a bump key.
You DO have to be connected to your local network, which is good.

I connected it with Google Assistant and it works fine as well except opening the garage door by voice is purposely disabled(for security reason per Chamberlain)
I highly recommend this unit.
Anyways, the Chamberlain one seems to be highly rated and recommended by a bunch of blogs/forums (though they're probably paid reviews and affiliates, so who really knows?) To me, they're all the same. FWIW myQ has an okay app and it comes with a sensor that allows it to detect whether the door is open or closed, so if you need a WiFi garage door controller, it's a solid option over the ones without a sensor.
I can see they are putting effort to make their app center of the smart home hub, instead of making better integration with mature smart home platforms. I will probably do more research on a HomeKit adapter instead of this if I need to upgrade my garage door opener.
