Tools and Hardware Reviews of Chamberlain CLDM1 Clicker Garage Door Monitor
Customer Review: Dissapointed
Summary: 2 Stars
I received this item, read all the directions. Plugged it in and it worked
for about 2 weeks, then no matter what I do it does not work right. Both the
Green and Red lights blink constantly, I unplug, re-program and it lasts for\
like maybe a minute or two then back to Green and Red blinkng.
I feel this product is almost worthless and would not reccommend or buy this
product again.
Customer Review: Distance Issues, but got it to work most of the time
Summary: 3 Stars
I have a detached double garage, about 20 feet from the house. House and garage have aluminum siding. I installed the transmitters in the garage as per instructions. I ordered two of these (didn't know I could set it up for one receiver to do both, but glad I didn't) and installed the indoor receiver on the far side of my kitchen (40 feet from the farthest garage door sensor). The receiver could not get adequate signal from either of the transmitters. I changed the batteries, same thing. So, I moved the receivers to the other side of the kitchen (a lot of work, had to run a new electrical line into a cupboard, with a junction box of course). Still didn't work, and I was getting REALLY annoyed.
I read some of the reviews on here, and added about 7.2 inches of antenna to the receiver, which didn't work. Keep in mind, garage is only 20 feet away from the house!! I then opened the transmitters up and found the antenna. I added 7 inches of antenna and soldered it on to the internal antenna (C-shaped piece of brass, you can't miss it). That didn't do anything either. So then, I just added ANOTHER 7 inches or so to the receiver and it actually started working most of the time. I still get the occasional "green-red" blinking but it clears up within a few hours usually.
I just don't understand why they don't make the antenna big enough to cover 60 feet, or why they don't make the battery stronger to assist with that. You shouldn't have to do this much work to get the product to work. Truth in advertising please--if you have a detached garage, be ready to do some work to get this to function properly.
Customer Review: Do not need to Keep checking if the garage is closed or open

It is a great product at a great price. Now I can use my remote card starter without worrying it the garage door opened when I used the garge door opener installed in the house. Love it.Customer Review: Doesn't work
Summary: 1 Stars
It worked fine for about a week, then it started blinking red/green regardless of the position of the garage door. Tried unplugging and re-plugging which fixed the problem for about ten minutes and then it went back to blinking red/green.
Pretty much worthless for indicating the garage door position. Don't think distance is a problem since it's only about 25 ft from sensor to receiver, with only two interior doors in between.

Don't buy this piece of crap under any circumstance. Works for a week, then nothing but alternating green and red blinking lights.
