Garage door app

Has anybody got experience with an app on your phone that will tell you if your garage door is open or shut?

I’m always super paranoid about my garage door being open and was looking with anyone with first hand experience.

Not necessarily lookin to open my garage door with my phone; just wanting to know if it’s open or not.

I have a Chamberlain opener linked to My Q app. It works great. It will tell you how long the door has been closed or opened along with allowing you to close or open from anywhere.
I was also paranoid whether I closed it when I left. I can now look and see if it is closed.

Yeap, the Chamberlain system works slick.

You can add it to a non-MyQ opener. https://www.chamberlain.com/myq%c2%ae-smart-garage-hub/p/MYQ-G0301-D

Thanks guys; exactly what I was looking for.

Do you know if you need to buy 2 of them if you have 2 garage doors? Or an extra sensor or if it comes ready for 2 doors?

I love my Chamberlain for this very reason. Also like that I can get a notice via text or email each time the door opens or closes.
I can tell when my kids get home or decide to go for a late night joy ride..
