eKyro is a smart home brand built around universal Wi-Fi garage door controllers that retrofit an existing opener instead of replacing it, alongside a small range of smart plugs. Its garage controller connects to most openers through a dry contact wiring connection, ships with a door sensor for open and left-open alerts, and supports Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Siri with no hub and no monthly fee. The company sells mainly through Amazon and its own website.

Refoss is a smart home brand active since 2016, best known for its multi-channel energy monitors and for smart plugs, switches and garage door openers. Its energy monitors clamp onto the mains and branch circuits and expose the readings through a local web UI, an open JSON-RPC API and MQTT, so they run without any cloud account. Refoss devices integrate natively with Home Assistant, Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomeKit.
