I prefer an easy reach to a single button on the garage door opener that came with my garage door. One press, doesn't even really require a look over.

Agreed... It is a PITA.... That is exactly what I have to do if I want to use my phone app. I'ts quicker for me to just get off my motorcycle and punch the code into the opener. I really need to just stop being lazy and add an opener into the faring of my Harley. They sell them, just have not done it.

I have a shortcut on the phone that allows Siri to access the app and the app itself has an auto click feature. All pretty easy and painless. What could be easier than a voice command??

I don't have a shirt pocket or a cup holder on my motorcycle. My phone stays in my pants pocket. That being said, what do you mean by your phone stays "unlocked". You mean you have no pass code on it, or you mean it's always on? In my car if I have my phone connected via Android Auto I can use voice commands. If my phone is in my pocket not connected via Android Auto, I have to pull it out, unlock it, then I can use voice commands. I do not connect my phone via Android Auto unless I have to use Google Maps. (Very Seldom) Otherwise all I do is connect it Via BlueTooth so I can stream Pandora.
