Find Best Price at Amazon"Unlike most reviews who docked stars for some assembly required, I bought this with the expectation I had to make a bracket for the sensor. The instruction is a little confusing if you are not technical but I thought it was simple enough to figure out without needing to contact anyone. • I have a manual off switch on my garage door button which I turn off at night. However it was opened by your cell phone, it will log a name of the person who accessed the garage. I bought an aluminum sheet from Lowes (a few bucks) to cut up and shape in to a bracket. I did not buy a plug splitter because I didn’t want the cords hanging upside down from the ceiling. The one foot cord let me rest everting on the garage door opener (motor). I checked my PC, Network and cell phone time setting but they were fine. I expected to get a response on Tuesday but they responded that same day which is excellent support. Sure enough, they did fix the problem but now I’m concerned they can access my garage door opener."
"Pros. - Allows you to setup multiple users. - Garage Door up warning. - Detailed Notifications (Since there are multiple users at play here you get a notification that states Opened closed) Great feature when you wonder who opened the garage. - Support (They will provide feedback within 24 hours). - Confirmed it works with Amazon Echo (Just remember to enable the skill). Cons. - Documentation - After connecting the Nexx Garage to your Wifi Network the instructions are sketchy. I had to reach out to support and spend time on Sears Youtube channel to figure out the correct connections to open an close the door. - Setup Time - Nexx Garage states 20 minutes to get this device stood up. You have to figure in time to run to your local hardware store to pick up a few items, configuration problems with connecting to your garage door (Especially, if you have a Craftsman. Other Thoughts. Nexx Garage is a good product once you have it stood up and the sensors in place. You can find them on Nexx Garage's website under Support> Install Examples. Measure to see how much clearance you have this will help in determining how much room you have for cables and mounting the sensor. Once you have the device take a trip to the local hardware store and bring one of the sensors with you."
"Installation was relatively easy, except for the sensors that tell the device if the door is open or closed. If a family shared an email account and didn't have an email account for each person you wanted to have access it could be a little tricky. Work around is just share user login information on the Nexx app."

I pushed the purple "learn" button on my opener, held down the button on the new remote, and nothing happened. You have to press this button and then click the desired button on the front 1-3 times (depending on the color of your learn button) to setup the remote. Once this is done, you press the learn button on the opener and then the desired button on the remote and you're all set."

"The left hand side and both center columns fit recessed in tightly behind the frame lips at the top, bottom and left side while the right side slides straight in flush with the frame. I cut four pieces at 2.5" which fit behind the right side of the column flush with edge. Next cut the panels as the rest it fit in the right, top & bottom recesses and flush in tight beside the smaller 2.5" piece. I'd start at a slight angle inserting the top left edge first and as much as possible then bending or cupping the panel insert the bottom left edge while straightening it out. Bend the top in followed by the bottom until you finally fit the right side edge in. I cut the first 3 columns at 45 13/16th inches (instead of just cutting at 3/4") and the right edge fits in snugly against the frame."

I asked the local garage door repair company how much they'd charge to replace the gears. I followed the instructions exactly, removing the cover, then the motor assembly and then the sprocket and gear set."
"I already had the old part removed and it took about an hour to install the new one and get the chain reconnected."
"You will likely have to adjust your travel limit settings since removing the shaft can rotate the travel switches gear a tooth or two or more if you spin the gear."
"This job is extremely easy to do just make sure you don't do what I did and get confused with putting the chain back on I had the opener in the up position but the chain on in the down position."
"Definitely check out some of the videos on YouTube but here are a few tips that I used that will make it easier than doing it exactly like some of the videos that are out there: -- UNPLUG the opener before you work on it. 2) I unplugged the internal wire connector from the back plate to make it easier to move around and I just set it on top of the opener while I worked. Use your driver to run the screws partway into and out of all 3 holes BEFORE you put the shaft into the opener and they will then be threaded."
"If will take a lot longer if you start replacing the bearings, bushings, and worm gear."
"It took quite a bit of time and having 2 sets of hands and a very good youtube video made it a heck of a lot easier. I have read some reviews stating that because it was so hard and took so long they removed 1 or more stars, but I cannot remove stars for that because the kit manufacturers have no control over how easy or not it is to repair your opener."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Some folks seem to understand the point of my review (i.e., this opener has a motor that is much smaller than advertised), while a lot of folks have tried to defend Chamberlain's horsepower rating (which I still say is false). At the same time, nothing prevents Chamberlain from providing an HONEST and ACCURATE measure of the size or horsepower of the motor used in this opener. THAT is my complaint with this opener -- Chamberlain falsely advertises that this thing has a motor which is "similar" to 1.25 horsepower. At the end of the day, if this thing opened my door quickly and quietly, I would not care anything about the HP rating of the motor. But this unit is not (at least in my view) either quick or quiet, and it certainly does not have a motor that's "similar" to 1.25 or 1 1/4 horsepower. These units were very quiet (almost silent -- seriously), but a few months ago one of the units stopped responding to the remote unless you were within a few feet of the door. If I went out of town and wasn't sure if I had left the door open, it's nice to know that I could check my phone, see if the door was open or closed, and then close it if necessary. -- Motor units look clean/modern. If you're in the market for a garage door opener, you will quickly realize that cheaper units have smaller motors (typically 1/2 horsepower) while the more expensive units have 1 HP+. So, the unit actually has a very small motor, but because it's turning a reduction gear, it's able to lift a fair amount of weight....perhaps similar to what an actual 1.25 HP motor could lift without reduction gears. As noted above, I have two garage doors, and after I installed the new Chamberlain unit on one door, I checked its open/closing speed against the old Liftmaster unit. The Chamberlain unit didn't seem to struggle or anything....it was just very, very, very slow at lifting the door. Not a huge complaint, but my old Liftmaster units had solid metal (one piece) tracks running from the door header to the motor, whereas the Chamberlain track comes in 4-5 fairly short sections that are fit together into one long track. The LCD sceens on the wall units made this an irresistible tech buy for me, but seeing how slow the doors open, I question whether I would have been better off with something else. My dad has the older Genie Excelerator opener which whizzes his door up at super-fast speeds....that's what I was hoping for with the Chamberlain units, but sadly, I didn't get it."
"People had claimed that this garage door opener was slow. I mean, seriously, I'm not Batman, and I am not trying to quickly zip into my Batcave and close the garage door before any neighbors see me in my spandex Batsuit, or my black on black 1995 Nissan Maxima. If you are anti-social, and want to avoid talking to your neighbors at all costs, maybe this garage door is not for you. As for my main reasons for purchasing this garage door opener, it was for the wifi capability, with the built in myQ router, meaning all I had to do was connect it to my wireless and I was then able to use the app to see if the garage door was open or close, or even remotely open or close it. By having the keypad mounted beside the garage door, she is able to get into the house through the garage without having to carry her garage door opener in her purse. She hated pulling into a dark garage, and as such we had mounted LED night lights around the garage to illuminate any potential tripping hazards."
"The kit did work well for me with the exception that I had to finesse the hole in the trolley through which passes a threaded rod."
"Purchased with ceiling mount: Lift master/Chamberlain Lift master 195LM Ceiling Mount Kit. The app required iOS 10+ in order to work with an iPhone, I used a Samsung GS5 to set it up, with some trouble."

"Perfect.Fast delivery and product as described.Easy to put up and I'm impressed with the quality.I should have bought it years ago.This screen is far superior to the cheaper versions I've had before, which lasted a few days and generally looking nice.The mesh is stronger and the magnets pull together as soon as you walk through.I can now leave my patio door open and my dog and cat can come and go as they please, as well as everybody else............without giving access to flying insects."
"This product is excellent, since putting this screen up I have not had one fly, bluebottle, wasp or bee, the magnetic strip down the center to keep it closed is very good, dog has no trouble pushing through it and it closes right after her."
"I did not use the velcro to hang it but instead hung it from a spring tension shower curtain rod ( with a bit of tailoring as I mentioned). I only used a couple of patches of velcro for that and did not frame out the entire door."

Weather here in Ohio has not warmed up so that I can use it daily yet and to keep the dogs from pawing the door to get in I have two additional magnetic clips that I secure each side of the screen to the frame for the French doors to keep it out of the way until the weather gets warmer."
"My door is much smaller than the screen and I wrote an email asking what I should do. I ended up mounting the screen on the wall around the door frame and it works beautifully."
"So much easier than chasing flies with an electric fly swatter ( Elucto Electric Bug Zapper Fly Swatter Zap Mosquito Best for Indoor and Outdoor Pest Control(AA Batteries Included) .). It was easy to install (once we followed the directions - be sure to put the velcro on the screen before pulling off the paper off the sticky side) and it sticks together really well in the middle - lots of magnets compared to other magnetic screen doors I've seen."
"Screen lasted 2 years in Seattle weather on heavily used sliding door exposed to full sun/rain."
"First, it is not sizable so you may have to do some creative installing such as working it around door frames(see pic, it is only uploading sideways however). Secondly, the velcro strip will remain up when you remove the screen for the season which may be an eyesore for some. I have "learned" to walk through the screen without this happening but people not familiar with the issue will likely encounter this problem. One has to learn to slow down a little bit when walking through maybe turning your shoulders slightly...it is a barrier after all."
"The first one was installed on the back door of the mountain cabin after the dogs destroyed both the existing screen door and the wooden deck ploughing into the closed screen door, or scratching up the deck hanging a tight corner and then careening into the open screen door in hot pursuit of hapless squirrels in the back yard."
