Removal of the bumper and basic sticker shock led me to look for alternatives. I just ordered & installed Tailwind for $90. Seemed like a much better solution - auto open as you drive to & close as you drive away, an app to show me whether or not the door is closed or not, ability to open/close remotely, integration with home automation/smart homes (Alexa in my case). I've only used it last night after install and this morning to check the auto open/close feature, but so far everything seems to work as advertised.
Agreed. It would make more sense to invest $300 in a new LiftMaster garage door opener with wifi. You can use the app on the phone, watch, etc. to control it. You can close and open it when you are far from home. And best of all you get a new a garage door opener for your money, not just a Homelink module in the car.
