/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1718461
I had the same problem with a house I bought. It was an old screw driven craftsman. I fixed that problem by resoldering some things on the circuit board. Then after about a month the opener would only go up and down if I pressed held the button. So I bought pic related I give it a 5/10 because all its really capable of doing is going up and down with my remote controls. The app is buggy as fuck I had it working for about a month then when I had company over I told them I'd let them in through the garage before I got home and the fucking app wouldn't connect so I felt like an ass making them wait. So i cant rely on the app to remote open and close. Also, the indoor keypad is completely useless the two double A batteries it uses are located behind the open/close button so when you try to open or close the fucking door it pops the batteries out. So I soldiered them and it worked until it got cold then my garage door wouldn't open more then a foot or two. So I tried using the car remote and the fucker opened. Come to find out the keypad opener doesn't send a good signal or some shit so the door didnt get the right feed back. Found that out after I spend $80 having a guy come torsion the springs. But it is quiet does open and close with the car remotes and only cost $250.
