Smart Garage Door Opener - Universal WiFi Remote Controller Compatible with Alexa, Google Home, iPhone, Siri, Android, Door Left Open Alert, Door Security Systems, Updated Model

Our new car didn't come with a built-in HomeLink unit - It was a $350 option to simply press a button to open a garage door. This product is SO much better. Easy to install and set up. They provided the most clear instructions I've seen on any technical product, along with short videos for each step if needed. Some of the reviews stated it was tricky to install. Perhaps each case is different, and I had to play around just a bit for the right options - but it was no problem at all. Even checking compatibility was easy instructed. After conecting the primary unit, I wanted to connect it to Siri so when coming home I could simply say: "Hey Siri - Open Garage Door". Again, they clearly laid out each step (I would never. have been able to figure it out on my own!). After about 5 minutes, it was all programed and works seamlessly. Now I can simply tell Siri to open or close the door.But the bonus for me, is tha ability to see and get notified if the door was left open (as well as the option to get notifications each time the door is opened or closed.Great product, great price and absolutely the best instructions I've ever seen. You can't mess up. Kudos to the team that did the manuals and vidios. Highly recomend.

Works great! Totally worth the price and install took a couple of hours. I have two adjacent garage doors, so I ordered two units. You can control both doors in the same SmartLife app, with the ability to open or close either door, and see if either is open or closed. Just choose the door you want. You can also allow a second person to use the controller. Just Google "How to invite someone to share SmartLife app." Expect some frustration during network setup, as with most remote-control apps. In my case, one of the two units just would not connect after many tries. But when I tried the other unit, it immediately connected and then the other one linked right away. Don't give up on the SmartLife software. It'll take a few tries, but you'll get it to work! Wiring up your opener is easy. Just attach the red & black wires from the controller to the two terminals on your garage door opener that go to the 'open and close' push button mounted on the wall of your garage; the one you use to open and close the door. Follow the wire from the button on the wall to your opener; those two terminals are the open/close connections. (The other two connections on the opener go to the electric eye; you don't need to touch those wires.) Then, extend the long black wire that comes out of the controller to the magnet switch. Mount the switch to the garage door FRAME next to the garage door. Mount the accompanying magnet on the garage door itself, making sure (by looking at the app) that the magnet is close enough to activate the switch, but moves out of the way when the door goes up (see photos). Works within about 3/4" of each other. Could use this device for anything that needs 'dry contacts' and which could also tell you, remotely, whether a switch is open or closed. Great little device!

I bought this out of necessity, not because I need, want, or even like smart devices. I live next door to a very large military base. The Military owns the frequency that garage door and automobile remotes operate on. About 4 years ago or so they started using this frequency and when they do, when you live as close as I do, everything that uses a remote stops working. When it first started I thought something was wrong with my opener. I extended the antenna to the outside, no help. I changed the control board, no help. Finally I realized what was happening. Garage door manufactures do next to nothing to get around this issue. They want to sell you a new opener but won't guarantee it will work. My opener is less than 10 years old. Anyway, the Military use of this frequency is becoming more and more common. When I finally purchased this device, I hadn't been able to open my garage door for over a month. Of course it started working a day before this arrived. So this is for those times when my regular garage door remotes won't work so I'll always be able to get into my garage. The kit comes with pretty much everything you could possibly need to install it. Mounting it to the opener is easy with the double sided tape provided. The hardest part, for me was figuring out how to mount the sensor that determines when the door is open or closed. The good thing is you can have a pretty wide gap between the switch and the magnet. I suggest when you first get this device, you download the app, plug in the device and set it up in the app before doing anything else. Then lay the switch on a flat surface and move the magnet slowly towards it while watching in the app to see when it senses the door is closed. This will give a good sense of how far the magnet can be from the switch which will help you when mounting it to the door. Do is a couple of times to make sure. From here, installation is easy. Just mount the unit to you door opener, connect the 2 wires to it. Plug it in and run the sensor to the door. That's it. Simple. I wouldn't think it would take anyone more than 30 minutes to install this including securing all the wiring and making sure the installation is clean. The app is pretty straight forward and has lots of options for setting up smart features which I'm not going to go into. They have plenty of very good videos to help you install and setup the app. The only smart feature I use and that makes sense to me is using GEO fencing to open the garage door when you arrive home. This is a nice feature and works perfectly. I'm sure a lot of you will find a lot of the features useful for you. That's a bonus, for me, it's just so I can open my garage door when the Military is jamming the signal. It's a good product, works as it's supposed to, easy to install, and a lot of support videos. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
