Will it know if the garage door is open or closed from the smartphone app? Also will it know this if another device opened or closed it? How?

Yes, it knows if it is open or closed and also reports how long it has been that way. It will message (as long as you have messaging enabled) if it has opened or closed by any device or button too and if it is open or closed by that other button or remote etc. I don't know how it knows but the inside button must get the info direct and transmits it to the WiFi hub.

You can tell if the garage door is open or closed via the smartphone app. You can program several scenarios that will notify you when the door opens, closes, stays open, etc. I'm not aware of anyway for the app to notify you that another device opened/closed the door other than those notices you've set up.

The App will tell you open or closed and send notification to your phone, I have a Sears and it works fine.

No, this remote light switch functions separately from the garage door opener, and is designed to be turned on/off with a remote clicker, or the smart phone app, or from the app on a computer.

Remember that this is only a motion detector...and it doesn't have a great transmission range...and might not work too well in a metal mailbox. As a motion detector, it'll certainly tell you when the mailbox is open; but then if you leave it open and there's no movement in front of it, it might think that the mailbox is closed.

Yes it let's you know. When you log into your account it will say either door open or door closed.

It requires the app on the phone.. the device doesn't tell you anything unfortunately.

I use the multi-sensor with my SmartThings Hub to get updates on my iPhone letting me know if my garage door is open or shut. I know when my kids arrive home from school, or when anyone else enters through the garage door. I also programmed the sensor to let me know if the door is left open for a specific length of time.

I am not sure, but I would not waste my money as it was a piece of junk. I would just go to a garage door company and get another one. There is also an APP for a smart phone that you can program to open your garage door. FYI

The product sensor attaches to a single garage door (can be single car width or double car width). The switch sends an on/off signal to one motor control unit via wired connection. If you have two separate doors to open, you will need two of these products.

The smartphone application will tell you if the door is open or closed and the length of time it has been in that position (minutes hours or days). The application also has a running log of every time the door opens and closes that is accessible in the history log.

I had it get out of sync and show the door closed when it was opened. When I clicked to open the door, it closed. About the same time, the gateway lost communication with the door so I don't know if resetting the gateway or opening and closing the app reset the app's brains but when it came back online, it knew correctly if the door was close/open. So, jury is still out.

You guys are really missing something simple. The garage door opener knows where it is because it has an encoder inside the unit that counts how many times it rotates past an electronic eye. It know the direction it is moving as well. So when you close it, it starts at 0 rotations and when you open it, it knows it takes 700 (pick a number) rotations to reach full open. Rinse and repeat. You guys crack me up with having to install it while the door is closed. These can be adjusted slightly (probably a foot either way) with the side knobs but not infinitely. How did you think the garage door opener knew when to stop when it was open, or when to stop before slamming into the ground? You guys are really missing something simple.

The lights on your garage door opener, will stay on for the same amount of time that it always has. Any other lights you use the remote for or the Internet gateway via your phone, computer will stay on until you turn them off again. Basically any other lights you control via the MyQ technology are independent of the garage door opener.

the light switch works on other lighting. The garage door light is a separate issue. This light switch replaces a normal light switch for other lighting throughout the house.the light on the garage door can go out but whatever light this switch is hooked up to will stay on until turned off..You can control this light switch from your app the same as you can control the garage door from the app. Chamberlain just added a feature that alerts you when this light switch is activated

You need to purchase the Chamberlain MyQ Internet Gateway as well as the door controls. You then set it up on your PC/network using your wireless router which will give you the ability to control your garage doors and other devices from any smart phone (App) or PC. Any door control settings ex: Min. to automatically close door, lights on/off and lights on by motion/heat sensors are only controlled at the physical controller. As far as the garage door controls remotely, you are limited to opening and closing the doors and getting alerts when doors are opened and closed. You are also able to see a timed log of all door(s) activity. *Be warned... if you install more than one of the controllers in your garage, they must be placed a min off 12" apart or the motion sensors for the opener lights (the ones you mount to the ceiling) behave erratic and go off and on for no reason at all. There is a Chamberlain service bulletin addressing this issue.

It will alert you when the door is open as well if it's opened for a certain period of time. It has rules you set. It will not distguish between opening using a remote, car or manual. Just open.

No monthly fee at all for using it. I do not have the light module and don't plan on getting it. I have the iPhone app and can open and close my garage doors anywhere in the world now. It's great to be able to see when my garage doors were opened/closed. Highly recommend.

I use the iPad and it tells me if it is open or closed, and how long ago it was used. Haven't got access to an Android so cannot answer your specific question.
