I have the best garagedoor opener a man can get and the second best as well. Never fail, always reliable and no batteries to change. Number one is called; "my wife and backseat buddy" and number two is called 'me'. My Harley never went through the garagedoor without opening due to a failure or the automatic opening mechanism. Or closes down unexpectedly due to the remote TV control of my neighbour.

On my android phone, I have an app called AutomateIt. I have it setup so that when I get close to home after work, it sends a text to my kid to put the dogs out (wife works from home and is on the phone sometimes).

With the location based trigger, you could have it launch a shortcut. Assuming the garage door app has a way to make a shortcut to open/close the door, this could be done for sure. I don't have a connected garage door, yet, or I would test this for you
