  1. I bought that garage door opener last month. I couldn’t get it to work reliably, so i sent it back.
    Maybe you’ll have a better experience.

  2. So press a button on your phone (after navigating to the app) instead of pressing the button on that spare remote ?

  3. How does the door lock work in cold winter temps? I don’t have great luck when the temps get close to 0 F
