1-1/4 HP Equivalent Ultra-Quiet Belt Drive Smart Garage Door Opener with Battery Backup

Yes You can

Yes, they are included with the unit. If missing you need to contact Home Depot.

Regarding the LED bulb issue... I put LED bulbs in my genie opener and immediately lost signal to my wall remote. Additionally, my three car remotes became hit or miss. I put the normal lights back in and everything works fine. I would stray from the LED's due to signal issues.

No. That's not normal. I would disconnect the opener (from the disconnect mechanism) and try to lift and lower the door by hand. If you're able to lift and lower it smoothly all the way without the sudden pull you're describing at the end of the travel, then you likely have a defective door opener. If you feel a shift in the door load near the end when closing it manually, you may have mis-adjusted springs or a bad spring on your door which will cause a load imbalance and can damage the opener. If that's the case, you should get those checked by a garage door tech. There's a guy in our area that replaces the springs for about $100 for one and $170 to do both. Given how dangerous it is to do yourself, it's a good deal.

JWill, Yes the remote keypad will do exactly what you are asking. Just hit enter and the garage door will close without opening until the code is entered or the button is depressed on the keyfob or wall switch.

If your track is smooth with no binding point in door motion the HP is not a factor in that the the springs make the door balanced. (you can open a very heavy door by hand ). If there are 'binding points' the higher HP will power through these with less, or no, 'Jerking' .

Hello "installationneeded"; The folks at home depot sent me this request for a little (technical) assistance - but I think they're a little confused. For your information - I did my own installation of a very similar garage door unit - and it took me about 1-1/2 complete days to assemble and install this unit (over a weekend) and included a trip back to the Home Depot to get some stuff that didn't fit in the Chamberlain garage door opener box (4@ 10' lengths of 1/2" conduit) to support & protect the wires to the included safety photo-eyes. The kit comes with instructions and you can do this yourself and save some $$ on installation if you're so inclined* In your shoes, I'd walk over to the contractor's desk, and ask if they have the name of an experienced garage-door-installer for the unit and negotiate installation time and cost, and take it from there. Otherwise - ask one of your (older) neighbors, where you live, if they know the name of a handyman who already works in the neighborhood and call them. While the Home Depot usually keeps names of a few installers for this kind of thing... I've never used them anymore based on my not-very-good experience with another Home-Depot-recommended plumbing-service based installer (who, at the time, wanted to gut my kitchen and rebuild it later - to install a dishwasher and have me pay for their incompetence) after I kicked them out of my house...I found I could do the work myself, quickly and at my convenience, and have it be done well just based on needing to meet my expectations for a durable 20+ year life-expectancy system. So good luck.

It will connect right to your own wifi. No additional hubs needed.

should not be a problem

Hi Jason. I have the Amazon Echo and the Wink Home Automation Hub so I can relay my experience. The Chamberlain integrates seamlessly withe the Wink control hub so it can be controlled via Wink. Amazon Echo also integrates with the Wink controller, so you would think that once the Chamberlain controller is integrated to the Wink hub, you could control it via Amazon Echo through Wink... not the case. For security reasons, Wink blocks the Chamberlain controls from Alexa (doesn't expose the garage door to her as an automated device). There is a lot of discussion online about the reasons why it's not a good idea to have Alexa opening your garage door. The most obvious being that Alexa (amazon Echo) uses speech recognition technology... not voice recognition. That means she is designed to understand verbal commands from anyone, not just you. So if someone wanted to, they could sneak up to your main door and yell "Alexa... open the garage door" when you weren't home and Alexa would respond and open the door. She can't tell that the command didn't come from you. Even the Wink hub / app, while it will allow you to control the garage door via the Wink app, you can't automate the door via Wink. It won't allow you to schedule automatic open or close via the Wink hub for security and safety reasons.
