When it got hot enough in the summer the staple would short the wire out and cause the door to open on its own. Had that happen several times while I was not home. Not cool. An encrypted opener switch is at least sending a coded "message" to the opener to open as opposed to simply pulling a circuit to ground. Would totally prevent the issue I had. But yeah, encrypting that message does seem overkill.

Do you own your own staple gun or can you rent one of these? I'd like to be able to just borrow one instead of buying one that I will only use once.
