My Q - unless you have an ancient garage door opener a My Q should work. It is very easy to set up and use with your existing garage door opener. You can buy it on Amazon and it is very easy to install. Also you have the ability to control more than one door via a phone app (I used it for a garage in NC as well as a garage in FL).

What’s so hard about just pushing a button when the vehicle is out the door

I also use MyQ on both doors. Inexpensive, easy to install and works great! I get a notification when they open, or close. I set mine to auto-close at 11:00 PM. The app tells how long the door has been open, or closed.

Another vote for MyQ. Inexpensive, reliable, and controlled by my iPhone. I have 2 garage doors with each using MyQ. No problem.

MyQ would be great, but not compatible with the Allstar MVP.

Call you neighbor. We all watch each other's houses.

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.

Not true, sorry. You can add a hub and sensors to many garage doors that allow them
To be viewed/operated by your phone/iPad. I added a sensor to each garage door and then 1 hub so both sensors will communicate with my iphones/iPads.
Why would anybody want to have remote access to their garage doors? There are many:
Check to see if your doors are closed from anywhere in the world, close or open then remotely, and others.
Using an app on your phone/iPad is the old way of communicating with your garage doors or really anything in your house.
I have my whole house automated and controlled thru 1 app that allows me to say over my iPhone/Apple Watch/iPads: open my garage door, or open/close my front door, or turn on lights, music, and better: I have 1 button that allows me to hit to close everything and I have a schedule that closes or turns off device at certain times.
If you use apple, this is all provided for free if you buy the supported devices and/or run a free app on a computer (Mac or linux) that uses plugins for non-supported devices.

I think you should reread my post, I said Some MVP openers, the frequency is 318 and MyQ won't communicate!!!! But there is a way in doing it if you are knowledge enough. Like I said to many know it all's that do not do there research!

I know two things. My MVP would not work with the My Q without additional parts and modification. The MVP is the worst opener and couldn't be farther from the truth in naming it Allstar MVP.

True but there is a way of making it work and using MyQ as a 2nd monitor.
Tuya has a unit on Amazon and using a remote control with it. I made one and have it online now but you need soldering skills.
