If you're a fraidy-cat, look into "SwitchBot" which you can mount externally to physically push the button on the wall. Otherwise, I've been really happy with the iSmartGate I put in years ago. The wiring isn't difficult, and the HomeKit integration is essential for me. Similar "that's useful!" experience as everyone else in the thread, but an annoyance sometimes is that "closing" is free, but opening requires "FaceID", which makes a ton of sense but means I never use it outside of automations since it requires fishing out the phone and a free hand (and that's just easier to mash the button on the wall). I have automations to automatically close the door at 10:20am, 5:30pm, and "sunset" which catches like 90% of the "accidentally left open" use cases. Asking Siri if the garage door is closed even when you're out of the house is super useful as well.
