It also can be set up to allow FEDEX to enter for deliveries without your interaction. Just saw it on Amazon for $29.99.

I have this same unit. Mixed feelings with this thing. I have it on both garage doors, (one master control and two door sensors). Install was very simple, but....The golf cart door now has a mind of it's own. More than a few times it would open without any commands from me or the unit. I'm not a full timer yet, so having the door open on it's own is worrisome. I ended up having a local friend stop by and unplug that door controller from the power outlet. I've also had random warnings from the MyQ app that it's offline and lost internet connection when everything else in the house is online. Even a Nest Cam in the same area is online, this controller will randomly report it's offline. This problem hasn't reported for over a month or so, so I'm guessing it may have been some server somewhere having trouble and not my system. Too much of this stuff is actually controlled by servers you have no control over.
