Pros & Cons
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.

Alexa integration requires a pin set up. With alexa you are also asked to create a 4 digit code when opening the garage. Works great with the amazon alexa app.
Cons

Highlights
Quality
The product works very well and i would recommend it .

What i ended up getting was a remote that i could program to work with the controller.
Price
This is a great product at a very reasonable price.
First, i got this item with a good price.
Shipping
And they sent this for free, with free shipping.

This is the 2nd meross product purchase.
Just doesn't make sense to me that other competitors like myq from chamberlin requires you to pay a subscription fee to get goo... Read More
The biggest trick was finding a place where i could install the door sensor and then run the cable back to the meross unit.
