From my experience here are my pros and cons.Pros:Solid connectivity and control via app.Cons:Substandard wireless sensor in terms of construction, design, and actual working function.Bad sensor results in wrong garage status being displayed - says garage door is open when it is not and vice versa.Sensor installation does not work right out of the box.Review:The installation of the garage portion was as expected with the level of difficulty/effort required.The sensor is the main culprit of why I would not recommend this to anyone who cares about the open/close status of their garage door. If you need this function look elsewhere otherwise get a workaround like a camera for the garage door or a backup solution like another brand as a failover that would also show the status of the garage.The sensor is badly constructed.1. Strong velcro on the back of cheap plastic with a battery door may result in the casing being destroyed or at least the pieces separate with a pull if one just yanks the velcro to remove it to change the battery. You'll have to do this with care. The plastic holding it together is poorly made with a lack of enough tolerances.2. Placing the battery inside is challenging because one of the metal contact tabs that touches the battery is not solidly designed in place. The contact tab is very loose, moves while you are inserting or taking out the battery, and may rip away from the circuit board. This movement can make the tab miss one side of the battery, resulting in the user trying many times and weakening the tab connection to the circuit board. There is not enough solder there and the design does not have enough support to hold it in place as batteries are being removed or put into the unit. This also would result in unstable power from the battery itself, creating an unreliable sensor.3. In order to save on battery, the sensor only broadcasts the door status once. This is often missed by the receiver and does not trigger the status to change to open or closed. They should at least allow the transmitter to transmit the status again a few times and / or be able to have the garage controller ping the sensor for the garage status. This should have been part of the design.4. The small ballbearing unit which is part of the circuit componentry is what tells the sensor whether the door is open or closed. This component is unreliable because the ball inside may get stuck and not change the state to trigger the sensor to transmit.5. Also, the instructions say to avoid placing the sensor on a metal surface. They say this is because metal may shield its communication with the garage sensor. I also think this might be because the metal ballbearing tilt sensor component could get magnetized and get stuck at a certain state. One workaround could be to place a small magnet in front of the sensor just strong enough to dislodge a stuck tilt sensor with the help of gravity and motion of the garage as it changes state.6. If you try to improve the sensor by re-soldering the battery tabs, etc you have to be extra careful with the delicate plastic housing which does not quite hold together.I have not purchased the wired sensor because it required relocating the garage controller away from our wall and onto the garage motor unit area because the wired sensor needs it to be there for the length of wire needed to reach it. This would take more work to address the shortcomings of the unacceptable wireless sensor.This product can be so much better if they made a battery wireless sensor that is better contructed from the ground up. Other brands on Amazon have better sensors which also can be purchased separately but are unfortunately not compatible with this.All in all, this can be used as a failover for another garage opener but I would not recommend it as the primary one.
