But if "sometimes" is closer to "usually" for you, you may run the risk of having your garage emptied out by opportunistic passers-by, and you will certainly pay more to heat your house. Chamberlain's Clicker Garage Door Monitor helps you minimize the likelihood that you'll leave the biggest door in your house open. The device mounts easily without tools to your garage door via a Velcro strip; if your door is open, the sensor sends a signal to the monitor, causing a red light to flash. The monitor may be plugged in anywhere in your house where you're likely to notice the flashing light. Depending on your garage-door habits, this device could help prevent theft and lower your heating bills. Includes lithium battery.--Josh DettweilerWhat's in the Box

Works as advertised!Dec 07, 2007
By K. Linquist
My garage is a separate building about 15' away from my house, so I needed something to tell me if I left the door open. I'm using this about 100' away from the transmitter - a bit too much for it. It worked fine at first, but then would lose signal on occasion. I noticed that the receiver had an antenna but the transmitter didn't. I opened up the transmitter and found the antenna "loop" - I simply soldered on a piece of wire of the appropriate length (this uses 390mhz, so I used a 1/2 wave length of wire, which is 14.4 inches). Works perfectly now!

Worth the money spentMay 24, 2006
By Joseph Sacher

It isn't the most robust device, but it was worth the money spent on it. The sensor attaches to the garage door with sticky back velcro. This makes it easy to remove to change the battery. I put it on the top of the door, so it will indicate open as soon as possible. Range seems sufficient. The only unknown is how long the transmitter battery will last. It uses a nickel sized lithium cell.
Update 2006-10-25: I still don't know about the longevity of the transmitter battery (still going strong), but I have loved this unit for the past few months. It has become a little "confused" two times over the last 6 months. It would indicate open, when the garage wasn't. I unplugged the base unit and immediately plugged it in and all was fine. I would purchase this again and wish I had done so sooner.

 Warning!May 29, 2010
By D. Tindall
This monitor started failing after a month (of which, unfortunately, we were away for over 2 weeks). After testing and re-programming and changing batteries 3 times at $2.50 a pop, it was apparent that the sending units were defective. Called Chamberlain, who agreed that the sending units (sensors) were defective. THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR YOU IF YOU BUY THROUGH AMAZON!! THESE PRODUCTS DO NOT HAVE A FACTORY WARRANTEE! You have 30 days to return defective products to Amazon. After that you have garbage.

No problemsJun 28, 2006
By Ronald J. Baptista
I received this item three weeks ago. Installation was easy and the unit worked as specified. I didn't have a problem with any distance, however my garage door is only about 50 feet away from the base unit.
You do have to plug the base unit into a wall outlet and it has a slightly bulky transformer. I didn't know that when I purchased it. I thought both units were battery operated. So you can't just hang the base unit up on a wall in the house somewhere.
Overall I gave it four stars.

No contact with transmitters is a recurring issueJan 22, 2008
By PsychDoc
Went ahead and purchased this inspite of past stated concerns about range issues.I purchased two units and both work equally poorly.I tried several locations but if the receivers and transmitters are not in the same room together there is the flashing green and red signals indicating no contact with the transmitter. I frankly think that it is more likely an electrical interference problem with these units than a range problem.We have a fairly high tech house with multiple wireless items eg.Security System,Internet,Cable etc. I think that if you have multiple signals being transmitted in your home that it simply interferes with the operation of the 'hook up' between the transmitter and receiving unit.I suggest that you take this into careful consideration BEFORE you purchase one of these units.Mine are both going back to Amazon today.
