Perhaps this is a silly question, but why 4G? Since it's your home couldn't you just use wifi, or is the signal too weak there (e.g. your garage is away from the house)?

I ask because I do a fair amount of IoT stuff and shorter range options like wifi/Bluetooth/zigbee/z-wave normally suffice.

It's for my garage which is 2km from my house.
