Your daughter gets home from school an hour before anyone else. She has lost two house keys this year, and the garage keypad code has been shared with half her class.
The physical part of the job is modest and tidy. A hub the size of a deck of cards is mounted near the opener and plugged into the same receptacle the motor uses. Where the opener allows, two low-voltage wires run from the hub to the wall-control terminals; where it does not, the hub is taught to the opener through the learn button like an extra remote. A sensor the size of a matchbox is screwed to the inside of the top door section, and its tilt tells the hub the door's position. Then the door is cycled until the app agrees with your eyes.

Scene 1
Remote closing is the feature most people want, and it rests on the pair of small sensors near the floor on each side of the door. Before any controller is fitted the technician confirms both eyes are present, mounted no higher than about fifteen centimetres, aligned so their indicators glow steady, and wired without breaks back to the head unit. A controller built to the operator standard will not offer an out-of-sight close without a working sensor circuit, so any missing, misaligned or failed pair is corrected as part of getting ready. This is also where sun glare, cobwebs, frost and a shovel leaning against a bracket are noticed and dealt with.
Scene 2
Before handover the technician steps outside, out of sight of the door, and sends a close command from the app. The hub's beeper sounds and its light flashes for several seconds before the door moves, exactly as the operator standard requires for a command from someone who cannot see the doorway. Then the door is closed onto a length of 2x4 laid flat on the floor and must reverse on contact, and while closing again the photo-eye beam is broken and the door must stop and rise. Every existing control is tried too: wall console, each remote, the outside keypad. A door that passes all of this is ready to hand over.
Scene 3
You receive a short record for the house file: the opener model and serial, the controller model and where it is mounted, the sensor position and battery type, the network name the hub is joined to, and the date of setup. Passwords are deliberately absent from it. The record is what makes a later change simple, whether that is a new router, a second door, a replacement sensor or a future opener, because whoever does the work can see at a glance what is already there. It also tells a buyer, one day, that the connected features on the door were set up properly.

FeesSame any hour
Many hubs support two doors from one unit, each with its own door sensor, and each door appears separately in the app with its own name, status and history. Openers with built-in radios register individually, so a two-door garage with two connected openers simply shows two doors under one account. The technician confirms which arrangement your hardware supports before the visit.
Yes. The owner's account invites each family member as a user with their own login on their own phone. Each person's opens and closes appear in the history under their name, and the owner can adjust or remove any user at any time. Sharing one login is discouraged because it muddles the history and makes it harder to remove access for one person later.
That is one of the first settings made. You choose how long the door can stay open before you hear about it, often ten or fifteen minutes, and the notification goes to every phone on the account or only to some. In a climate with real winters this single alert saves a good deal of heat, and occasionally a pipe in the wall shared with the house.
