This opener works fine. It was easy to install, it is very quiet, the app works fine. And it doesn't support Homelink control on cars 2012 or older. The cheapest opener from Lowes can do it, but you don't get that feature here. But wait, for $40 more you can add that feature via an external adapter. So in 2019 on a $500+ garage opener, you have to pay extra to use Homelink. This is a SHAMELESS money grab by the manufacturer. It should say in bold red letters in the ad that the manufacturer intentionally did not include a feature that nearly every customer will want to use, that was included on all past models by all manufacturers, and will cost you extra to add. Rediculous. I literally was about to buy a second one of these for my other door right after installing the first because it worked well from the wall opener and app. Then I went to program Homelink in my Cadillac CTS and found out Liftmaster intentionally does not allow this opener to work directly with Homelink. The universal expectation is that new technology is backwards-compatible. Imaging having to buy a new computer if your old mouse breaks. This overshadows everything that is good about this product.
BTW, you don't get an external keypad either which I knew when I bought it but seems dumb on a high dollar opener like this. You can get an opener costing half this much with one in the box. But conveniently you can buy a separate one for another $40. I guess this is the new buesiness model for Liftmaster? I'm surprised there isn't a credit card reader on the wall switch so you can open the door.
