" ... We recently purchased our home and only had one garage door opener that worked. ... Now we all have a garage door opener that works and when my wife pulls up in the driveway the door auto-opens for her. ... "

" ... Great things include, the garage door opening when we pull in the driveway, being able to be lazy and ask Alexa to close the garage door, getting notifications when the garage door is open (because let's face it, kids can't close a door) and being able to monitor the garage door from anywhere. ... "
" ... Nice to be able to close the garage door while away -- I tend to forget to close it quite frequently. ... "
" ... Very Simple to Install and is a must have for old Garage door openers. ... "
" ... I was able to quickly and easily install this product to work with my Craftsman 1/2 HP garage door opener. ... "

" ... Within a few days I had a replacement sensor kit, which worked perfectly fine. ... "
" ... I like the closed door sensor that's used as it's pretty reliable once you've got it locked down (which is the part that kinda sucks to do). ... "
" ... - It would be great if the sensor used to detect if the door is open or closed was wireless. ... "
" ... I just plan on buying an extra sensor for the main garage door as part of my security system. ... "
" ... This essentially mimics a simple push button switch with the added feature of a magnetic sensor that will let the user know that the door is open or closed. ... "
" ... The sensors were tricky but workable. ... "
" ... Was fairly easy to make all the connections and mount the sensor. ... "

" ... So I did and they indicated for a limited time they you can send in the original garage remote that currently opens your garage and they will do the soldering for you to make a connector to the product you buy. ... "
" ... Much easier to just click a button on a garage remote in your car! ... "
" ... NEXX offered a free program to adapt a remote to wire into the system and make using this an option. ... "

" ... The instructions are simple and easy to use. ... I wasn’t quite sure the exact model but I found a manual online with a similar circuit box to mine. ... "
" ... This also came with several parts that were neither listed in the instructions, NOR necessary for installation, so that was pretty confusing. ... "
" ... You do have to follow the directions. ... I pinged the support team (very responsive) with my issue and they sent me some boilerplate response from the user manual. ... "
" ... There are great instructions included and installing it went perfect. ... "

" ... Very easy to wire as it hooks to the same posts as the wall switch. ... "
" ... They simply asked what length of sensor cable I needed and they shipped it out to me! ... "
" ... Anyway, at the opener itself, it was just a matter of figuring out which two wires went to the button on the wall. ... This is where the jumper wire test in the instructions come in handy. ... "
" ... They offered a length of wire for free. ... After I provided the necessary length, the wire arrived quickly, free of charge, as promised. ... "
" ... I have a Marantec 4500 and a Craftsman, running the cables was easy and tying them into the garage door openers was simple. ... "
" ... We already had a set of wires that used to go to an outside pad which is now wireless. ... "
" ... All you need to do is follow the leads from the wall switch to your opener and just add the 2 wires coming off the Nexx to the same poles as the other wires . ... "
" ... Still managed to wrap the Nexx wires around the solid core wires from the existing wall switch and it works fine. ... "

" ... The commands do not differentiate ... The icon turns red briefly when a command is activated (open or close), and then goes back to green, and always indicates "Opened" regardless of the actual state of the door. ... "
