1. A door system comprising:
a motor assembly;
a linkage assembly operatively coupled to the motor assembly;
a controller operatively coupled to the motor assembly, comprising:
one or more processors;
one or more memories; and
one or more communication interfaces;
wherein the controller is configured to control the door system; and
one or more sensors operatively coupled to the controller, wherein the one or more sensors are configured to capture operating information of the door system or a door operatively coupled to the door system;
wherein the controller is configured to send the operating information for storage as stored operating information, and is configured to allow a user to accesses the stored operating information remotely using a user computer system to compare the stored operating information to target usage of the door for a target speed of the door, a target acceleration of the door, a target duration the door is opened, a target force to open or close the door, target door cycles during a period of time, or target battery performance;
wherein the controller is further configured to receive input from the user to update an operating parameter of the door system and change the operation of the door system based on the update to the operating parameter, wherein the operating parameter comprises a speed of the door, an acceleration of the door, a duration the door is held open, or a force to open or close the door;
wherein the input is received remotely from the user computer system; and
wherein the door system is a door operator or a door closer that is configured to be operatively coupled to the door and a door frame or a wall.
