What's in the box
How it installs
Step 1.Connect the black and red wires that come from the Smart Controller to the same two terminals that your garages wall switch connects to.
Step 2. Mount the wired black sensor to the top of the garage where it meets with the garage door, where you will place the non-wired sensor. This now indicates your garage is closed.
Step 3. Press the test button on the Smart Garage Controller to make sure your connections are correct and your door will open.
Step 4. Add this device to your 2.4 GHz WiFi network using your favorite Smart Assistant or the popular Smart Home app.
Compatibility
This Smart Garage Controller taps into the simple mechanics of a garage door open switch. This enables you to flip the switch remotely. The ease to which this device works, means its also one of the most universally compatible smart controllers on the market. Similar models only handle garage doors up that were made in 1993. Our model works with almost any garage door opener.
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Can I you use multiple Smart Garage Controllers within the same app? I have multiple garage doors and want ot be able to control them independently.
Answer: Yes, Just be sure to label them differently within the app (Garage 1, Garage 2, etc. )
Question: I have two garage doors, can I control both of them with just one Garage Smart Controller?
Answer: Technically, you can use just one unit to control two doors, if you parallel wire to the second garage door wall switch, but the open and close sensor would still only work on one. We recommend getting two Smart Garage Controllers to get the most benefits like, independent door control, alerts for each door, and separate open/closed statuses.
Question:How easy is thing to install?
Answer: Generally we think anyone who is able to climb a ladder and use a smart phone app or smart assistant can do it. The extent of wiring needed is simply wrapping the wire from each lead of the Smart Garage Controller to the Garage Door Opener terminals. No soldiering, or high-voltages involved.

Great product and easy to install and set up
Smart Wi-Fi opener works great and is easy to install
by Steve Baum
Smart WI-FI garage door opener, was easy to install (less than 30 minutes) and was easy to program (less than 15 minutes). After installing, I had several days of the app, showing the door opening and closing, on its own. After having a closer look, realized that wind was strong and moving the door slightly. Reduced the clearance of the door sensor to 1/8” and no other issues. Inexpensive, simple, works as advertised and inexpensive.
Easy upgrade to old garage opener.

This worked perfectly on my chraftsman garage door opener. I wish it would have worker with my genie intellig 1200 .
Don't buy another remote or keypad. Buy this!
by Kevin Warner
I needed a new keypad for my opener and I lost the remote openers so this seemed to be a great alternative. It installed easily, the app works great, and I couldn't beat the price anywhere. It is very easy to operate and I am extremely happy with it. I'm thinking about getting another one for my shop. In summary, buy it!
Didn't work for me.
by Bob
Didn't work on my Craftsman with the purple button. I did try shorting the pins with a paper clip and that worked. However, when the Smart opener tried to close the door, it closed partially and then re-opened. Seems pretty well made, and, the mobile app installed ok.
Works Perfectly
by Tom D
Had to customize magnet bracket on door edge: drilled 2 holes to align on my metal door top. Not unreasonable. Flawless operation and voice control. Requires password in Smartlife app for voice open command but not to close.
Great Product, Easy Install, Worked on the first try!
by Rob Young
Had 2 garage door openers originally. Lost one, and the other went through the wash with one of my jackets. So I had no way of opening the garage from the outside. Priced out replacements, and they were not terribly priced, but I was concerned about losing those in the future as well. Came across this bad boy, and figured it was worth a shot. Figured that since I have never lost my phone, this would be a safe bet. Easy install, and within an hour had it working. Now I just have to open the app, push a button, and TADA...Open Sesame! Works great! Never have to worry about where I put the garage door opener again!
Great product
by Brian
The installation of this device was straight forward. Although my specific garage door opener wasn't listed in the supplied reference document, I was able to determine it would work, by using that document to compatibility.
