Amazon.com Product Description:
Sometimes you just forget to close the garage door. 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
Sensor, receiver, AC adapter, double-sided Velcro fastening strip, lithium battery

Content: Got this instead of installing an in-garage console. Simple to setup and takes the guesswork out of whether the door is open or closed. Good buy for my needs. As promised, good value and shipped fast.
Summary: Good for what it does

Content: I purchased this monitor a few months ago and it's worked perfectly since day one. I have the base unit located one level above the garage on the opposite side of the house and have a good signal. I don't know if I would trust the unit blindly (after all, anything electronic or mechanical can fail on occasion) but it's a great confirmation device for what I *think* I already know.
I can't tell you the number of times that I knew the garage door was closed, only to second guess myself and go all the way back downstairs to check. Now I close the door behind me, see the green light on when I get upstairs, and never need to wonder from that point on.
Would it be nice if the base unit were a little smaller? Yes. Would it be nice if you didn't need to plug it into a wall outlet? Sure. But I think these are small trade-offs for the piece of mind it gives. Maybe the next generation monitor will incorporate these changes, but for now I'm happy with the way it is.
Summary: Mission Accomplished

Content: I found the monitor to be simple to install and operate.
The things I didn't like are (1) the base unit must be plugged into a wall socket (not battery operated)and (2) the base unit requires an antenna which is just a thin wire sticking out the top which is easily bent (comes rolled up) but must be straight for the unit to work. My wife accidently bumped the antenna and the monitor stopped working (flashed red and green - open/shut) until the antenna was straightened again.
Summary: Could be better

Content: Product was easy to install and works fine. I put the indicator light receiever by the TV so it is easy to see if we forget to close the garage door.
Summary: Garage door indicator

Content: I have now been using the Chamberlain garage door monitor for ~6 months and it works great.
I have a detached garage and the base unit works anywhere in the house. I really wasn't expecting the range to be that good. The only other worry I had when installing it was having to reapply tape to the back of the sensor unit on the garage door, but to my surprise it has stayed in position now through extreme temperature variations (from -20 F to 95 F).
The only reason I didn't give it a 5/5 is because I agree with some of the other reviews, aesthetically the design could have been better...
Summary: Well worth the price...
