Pros

If you're good with a screw driver and a ladder, this is soooo easy to install. The instructions are extremely easy to follow. Easy to install in about 30 minutes.

Craftsman garage door sensor is solar-powered. Installation is simple. Use a staple gun to remove excess wire.

This is a great solution to make your old garage door wifi. App is pretty simple enough with a straight forward interface. I primarily use it in my google home app because of the seamless google assistant integration.

    Be sure to check because i tried installing and putting the wires into the back of my device as instructed only realizing later that it wasnt compatible outside of the box

    Installation of the sensor to the garage door was a bit tricky running the wires from the garage door opening all the way to the rails of the actual door

    Just doesnt make sense to me that other competitors like myq from chamberlin requires you to pay a subscription fee to get google integration no thanks
