Installed in minutes, hardest part was figuring where to put the sensor. Yes, i made it harder than it needed to be. Works reliably, nice to see that it accurately informs on the doors status. Love i can control it with my phone, do not need to be on wifi. Must set up on same wifi, after that good to go.
Works well, but to alexa it’s just a switch. You have to use the app to tell if the door is open or closed. They could fix this with software and hopefully will in the future. I expected to be able to say close the door, but if it’s already closed you are actually opening it. Actually have to say ‘turn on’ and ‘turn off’, which are still the same. It just pushes the button for you with no logic – amazon should add something like this: command = close “device name”if state = closed, report “device name” already closed else turn off “device name”command = open “device name”if state = open, report “device name” already open else turn on “device name”.
Couldn’t be any easier to install and has an amazing range of compatibility. I used to install residential and commercial security systems and had installed hundreds of the linear garage door controllers. I had ordered a linear controller for our new house, and saw this right after ordering. I ordered it as well and figured i would keep whichever one worked best. Since this unit simply hooks into the terminals where the garages push button is located, it basically acts as a pulse switch to activate the garage door. I already had the app for a couple smart plugs i have in the house, so everything was quick to install. I had this unit installed and operating in about 20 minutessince this was 1/4 the price of the linear controller, i kept this and returned the linear for a refund.
Works well with amazon echo, can ask if the door is open/closed and control the door. Geofencing is part of the smartlife app so integration with ifttt is not required. Tested and confirmed to work. Mechanical hardware for mounting the switch could be better, the metal brackets need slots to allow the 2 to be used together for precise alignment. Tiny nuts, bolts and screw were provided, i tossed them and used larger ones for a more secure installation.
This controller was a snap to install (i installed it in 20 minutes). It works perfectly with alexa with no subscription needed. The kit comes with all the (tiny) screws you need, and if you dont want to use the screws, 3m double sided sticky mounting pads are included. The tools i used were a wire stripper, and a cordless drill (for pilot holes and to drive the mounting screws). You cannot ask alexa what state the door is in, your voice command just makes it go whichever way. The app shows you if it is closed or open, and there are scenarios available to program it (through the app). This worked the first time, and linked in less than a minute. The response time is very fast. November 15, 2019 edit: alexa and google are upgrading specifications for garage door voice commands.
