Ratings and reviews

Got this based on recommendations from various sites. I was surprised how on my own I was for installation. The partial open only sometimes works (possibly recently fixed) but now I don't seem to be notified when the door is left open anymore. This product just wasn't as easy to install or use and the support isn't as good as I was expecting. It mostly works but it's also a pain and if I can't rely on it to remind me that I left the door open that's a major selling point that's not working.

This app is garbage. You'll set it up, login, get everything working, and it will be fine for a year or so. Then one weekend you'll be out in the blazing heat running a 200 mile relay race. But when you get home, you can't find your house keys. So you try to open the garage door to get in only to see in that moment it decided to refresh your auth token with a forced login. This does not enhance security. It only adds annoyance. Such a stupid design!

Update: Like the march 2024 update, the recent August update killed notifications. Left here to notify of bug. Original: User since 2019. Did not want to spend extra on home link and did not want to pay subscription fees. The kit was easy to install and the open on arrival is very nice! I did turn off auto close since I like to watch the door close before I take off. I would love to have a lockdown mode, especially during vacations.
