Craftsman AssureLink Internet Connected DC Belt Drive Garage Door
Overall this is a good garage door opener, it is essentially the same unit as the Chamberlain Whisper Drive 3/4 HPS Garage Door Opener with MyQ Technology and Battery Backup WD962KEV. Walk out to your garage, open the app and hit a button on the door opener. Apart from the difference in appearance the Chamberlain is a little cheaper and has lifetime motor and belt warranty. You can also turn the light on and off manually and like most modern garage door openers the sensors turn on the light. If you do not already have an opener installed we recommend that you have a professional install a new opener. It also has a motion sensor that turns on the light if someone is in the garage, I like this feature as I often go into the refrigerator in my garage at night. It gives you status of the door and how long it has been in the open or closed position. If anyone is in the garage when the door remotely closes the lights flash and an audible beep is heard. It really is amazing how quiet this opener is. With the absence of my old noisy chain drive, I can now hear every squeaky wheel on my door. If you already have an existing opener installed, it is a snap to install the Assurelink. Every time you use the app you need to sign in for security purposes, so it is not as easy to use when you’re pulling up to the house as a normal opener. The unit includes a battery, so when your power goes out you still have access to your garage and the light for up to 20 cycles. It is equivalent to a 3/4 hp opener in power. The door in operation is smooth and quiet, the motor slows during the last foot or so to provide a softer close. You need to plug the included Assurelink gateway into your router then sign up at Craftsman.
