I purchased this after they discontinued the Garageio device service which worked flawlessly for 8yrs. I wish I could say the same about this device, but I’ve had nothing but problems since installing it this summer. There were problems with the first sensor which would stop working when the battery level got to 65% - which would happen within just a few weeks. After a few chats with support (someone in Mexico that would have to call you), they sent me a new sensor. It’s only been slightly better since then, although the sensor still chews through batteries. Now, I occasionally get a message that states “there have been too many failed open/close attempts, please push the button on the wall”. So, this morning, I use the app to close the door and try to open it 2min later and get the message above. Yet now I’m locked out of my house. I hope everyone reads this BEFORE buying this piece of junk. Find something better.

I got this and it took me less than 5 minutes to install and configure , smart garage door in minutes. Opening and closing the door is easy, swipe up or down and I love the auto close feature. Only complaint, Apple Watch app just closes when trying to open it. Not sure why it won’t work. But app works in iPhone and iPad without issues. Please fix apple watch app!

Once it is set up, it is a relief to know that we can be assured our garage door is closed and if it isn’t to be able to close it without having to drive all the way back to close it. Setting it up was not easy because of nuances in our router software. But once those issues were resolved it works like a charm.
