Have you ever left your house, and wondered if your garage door is still open? I have, but didn't those times. I got two texts from neighbors two different times when I have left and was pretty far away when I heard. BTW, I have a side load garage, with shrubs on the side, so if you back out a bit down the driveway, it isn't easy to see it is open. That's my story, and sticking to it!
Well, another neighbor told me about this product that you can install, and have an app on your phone and see if it is closed or open, AND close it. I thought my opener was too old (2006), but found out, that these products work!
I bought it and in the advertising it SAYS all you need is a screwdriver. How hard can it be, right? I can do it. HOLY CRAP opened the box, and it said I need a drill, screwdrivers, hammer, wire cutters, and think I stopped at that. Texted my friend and asked if he could help me for 30 minutes Saturday morning.
He got it installed in less than 20 minutes, and SOOOO happy! Even when using the button in my car to close the door, I get a notification that the door is open or closed. Some of my neighbors have something installed where the door closes after a certain time of being open.
