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.

When you had Liftmaster w/Chamberlain WiFi adapter, do you recall the name/model of the WiFi adapter, and did it have a battery-operated sensor on the door, and did that sensor run low on battery too often or die due to cold weather??

Can't recall the model number but it was a Chamberlain product. Yes, it
had a battery operated sensor I attached to my garage door. I don't
recall having problems with battery life and I had it for several years
though summers and hard winters. In fact, because it was still
functioning well when I purchased the new opener, I gave away the WiFi
system to a family member.
