Miscellaneous

I'm a big fan. The device isn't heavy (16 grams), it's easy to install, it doesn't rattle, it's got a one-year battery life, and it mostly goes unnoticed until it's called upon.

It's a little extravagant, perhaps, to install a garage opener on your bike rather than just carrying a clicker or installing a wall-mounted keypad, but this little device has been a big convenience in my day-to-day life and I really do use it day in, day out.

I really like this garage door opener and it was easy to set up and functions well. Nothing beats rolling up the street and pressing the button to just roll into the garage :)

My only minor complaint is that the way the 2 half shell pieces that hold the opener unit in the handlebars is not quite right. No matter how tight I wrapped the bar tape to hold the opener unit in place and snug, it would loosen up and rattle. I finally got tight fit after cramming some small wedges of tape between the exposed face of the opener and the lip of the shell pieces. It's now very snug and hasn't started to rattle after ~200 miles.

Great purchase!

The Doormate was easy to install and set up to use with my Genie opener. Before getting the Doormate, I was using the Chamberlain MyQ app on my smartphone, and it wasn't always fun to stand in my driveway and fumble around for my iPhone when it was rainy and cold.

Yes, having to rewrap bar tape is a little annoying, but since it's the same kind of holder that the Shimano hidden Di2 junction box uses, at least now I know what to do when I have to rewrap the bars on my Di2 bike.

I didn't use this for a bike. I used it for my motorcycle. The motorcycle community experiences the same inconveniences as bicyclists. This has solved a problem and filled a valuable need. No relying on my phone with MyQ and I no longer have to carry a bulky remote in my pocket and fumbling around to find the button. This is far better than the keychain versions too, clinking around and again, fumbling for the button. I simply reach over with my thumb and press. My only question is why isn't this item being advertised to the motorcycle community? Consider this demographic. I will recommend this to anyone. Love it!
