iPhone app garage door opener

Up until now, my garage floor was dusty, oil-stained bare cement, with the garage fit only for cars and stuff, not bikes.

As a result, my house has bikes scattered all about, and most closets have cycling gear. I'd depart and return from my rides through the front door, carrying a front door key.

This is going to change. Even as I write, my garage floor is being painted with an epoxy, and I am going to turn one bay into a cycling haven. I'll store my bikes and cycling gear in the garage, and start/end my rides (which include daily commuting) through the garage door.

I don't want to carry a garage door opener with me, however. Nor do I want to hide the opener somewhere.

I carry an iPhone, so I want to use my iPhone as a garage door opener.

With searches, I see there are some apps for that, as well as products sold. There are lots of DIY methods. But I don't see any surefire, proven method.

Can anyone help out with some experience, advice or suggestions?
