Product Description
Protect your home and family with a garage door monitoring system. Leaving your garage door open unnecessarily can be both dangerous and costly. But it's easy to forget that it's open when you're carrying in groceries or the mail. Now you can install a garage door sensor that alerts you to the status of your garage door with audio and visual indicators. Best of all, the Household Garage Door Monitoring System is easy to set up, with the sensor alerting the receiver wirelessly. The garage door sensor mounts near the bottom of your garage door and sends a wireless signal to the receiver in your house when the garage is opened. With its range of 300 feet, you'll be able to place the receiver in any convenient location in your home. The included receiver will control up to four different sensors. Not included, you can add a Household Motion Alert Sensor or a Household Door/Window Alert Sensor for security, or a Household Water Alert Sensor for water leaks. When multiple sensors are installed, only the corresponding zone LED will flash, so there will be no confusion. In addition, you'll know which zone is being triggered by the number of beeps emitted in succession. If you're planning to leave your garage door open while you work in your garden or on your car, the audible alert can be muted easily.

 Useless January 15, 2007

The unit came without a mounting bracket. I'm not ready to spend the time making a custom bracket for it, so the damn thing's useless as far as I'm concerned.
 Doesn't work 30 feet away, nevermind 300 October 28, 2006

Don't waste your money. It just doesn;t work once you get about 30 feet away 9detached garage) specs say 300 feet range.
Saved my marriage! November 8, 2006

It works well, accurately displaying the status of the garage door to the receiver on the opposite side of the house. I think this thing has helped save my marriage, since leaving the garage open over night was a big "issue"! Works great. I'd say my transmitter and receiver are about 100 feet apart, through walls and upstairs. Every once in a while it loses the signal (red LED flashes 3 times), but most of the time it gets it.
Works, but may need a little help December 17, 2007

This wireless garage door monitor is easy to set up and install. It is sensitive, however, to obstructions to transmission posed by such things as aluminum siding or window screens. I was able to obtain reliable operation only after placing it next to the lead-in wire from an outdoor short wave antenna. Placing the receiver next to a window and running the little length of wire the receiver uses as its antenna outside the window may ensure consistent operation for problem locations.
It provides two alerts when the door is open: (1) a flashing red light and (2) an audible beep. The omni-directional beep doesn't require visual observation, but it is annoying, especially if the door is left intentionally open as, for example, when doing yard work. The beep can be stopped, thereby defeating a general alert, but there is no provision for reducing the beep frequency from more than once a second to something in the range of once a minute or once every few minutes, preserving its usefulness without becoming a pest.
weak design December 14, 2006
N. Gennaro (san carlo, ca)
Bought the product and an extra garage door monitor. One of the garage door monitors was defective. Skylink has a pathetic return policy (mail it back and we will see what we think) as opposed to SmartHome who replaced it with no issue.
The other monitor works fine but realize that the unit I think is designed oddly. The sensor buzzes when the magnet are together. Seems backwards to me and is, compared to a normal door unit(buzzes when the magnets break contact).
Net, net, buy the door monitor rather than garage and definitely from SmartHome not Skylink. You can set the magnet wherever and put a stronger one if the gap is large (look at the other garage door units which work this way). With this one you are dependent on smooth sliding of a magnet in a column. Why? Dumb. Wait till it gets dirty or bumped.
