Is it possible to use the Tesla app as a garage door remote?

I'm guessing the answer to this is no, since my searchs have come up empty, but here goes.

Sometimes I'd like to remotely open my garage door and it would nice if that could be done from the app (using the car as the transmitter). Probably not possible due to security reasons, but thought I'd ask...

Yes. I believe with the app from Tesla, your fob must be near the car. However with the app from Allan Wong, that is not required.
