Default Wifi garage door add-on recommendations?

Does anyone have a wifi *add-on* for their garage door opener that allows them to open/close/check status with their smartphone? If so, what model are you using and are you happy with it? Ive read a lot of reviews and most complain about the door sensors battery dying too often, especially due to cold weather/winter. Thanks!

Chamberlain.

Prior to my existing opener, I had an older Liftmaster unit and attached
a Chamberlain WiFi adapter to it. When the Liftmaster finally went
kaput, I bought a Chamberlain WiFi ready opener. I am in complete
control over it with my phone. It alerts me whenever it opens and
closes. I can open or close it from my phone from anywhere. It has a
backup battery in case of power outage, which has happened a few times
and quite useful. SO far, the battery is functioning well with about 8
years since I bought it. Additionally, I can purchase (and have
purchased) other connective devices to control lights in the home. I am
very happy with it.
