We’re getting to the point where buying a house from a flipper is catching up to us. (It didn’t help that the flipper got the house from an addict.)
It’s time to start replacing things that have been neglected for years.
Up next, the garage door openers. (I’m pretty sure the water heater is next. Good times.)
Here’s the state of the garage. We’ve got one remote for the right garage door and none for the left.
The wall control for the left unit is broken and can’t be attached to the wall, it just dangles from the wire.
One of the light sockets on the left opened has been broken off the chassis, it’s also dangling from its wires.
The left opener is missing both lenses for the lights – just bare bulbs. Additionally, it’s so old, it doesn’t have any safety sensors. (Edit to add – safety eyes were required for all opener’s manufactured after Jan 1,1993. So it’s more than 31 years old.)
Last week the opener for the right garage door failed (for the second time) so it’s time for a replacement.
The winter after we moved in, I bought two Meross devices to add WiFi controls to the GDO’s They never worked properly. HomeKit reported the doors as obstructed on the rare occasions that the Meross devices stayed on the network.
Time to start shopping for replacements.
