If the door is open at 10pm, close it, if it is garbage day open the door at 7am and turn on the hall light to remind me. Your imagination is the limit. And it is cheaper and easier than replacing the entire opener.

Sorry Toymeister NOT all garage doors openers can be used with WiFI garage door controllers like MyQ. Most have openers like MVP use Data to the opener and not a switch closure.
There are ways to do it with a modification with a remote control 3 button opener, MVPs use data signal after 2011. You need some soldering skills and techy experience.
I will not debate this, way to many negative and know it all's here.
Good luck folks!
P>S MyQ is a good way to have a 2nd monitoring feature until you replace the opener in the future, BTW 1/2 hp is plenty enough power if the Balancing springs are adjusted correctly.
