Does this device, with the Android app, let you know if the door is open or closed, or does it just let you change the state from one to the other? I.e., if I don't know if the door is open or closed, is this useless?

Not only does the Android app let me open or close my doors, it tells me if each one is opened or closed and how many minutes, hours, or days it has been in that state. It kicks ass.

The GoGo Gate simply provides a contact closure (or open) via WiFi using smartphone, tablet, etc.. If you want to know the status (is gate open or closed) then you need to have the GoGo close enough to the gate to receive the transmission from the wireless sensor (included with the GoGo). The GoGo is not waterproof, so plan accordingly. I use mine to simply open and close my garage door through my smartphone. The GoGo is only about fifteen feet from my wireless router, so it works flawlessly.

When the MagicCloser starts to close, the safety reversing sensor will trigger if something causes it and the door will open. I have mine set for 5 mins and when the reversing sensor caused the door to open again, it tried closed after another 5 mins. Another safety feature is the MagicCloser does beep multiple times before it closes. I purchased about 2 months ago and so far I like the devise.

I am not sure that would work. I think this device uses temperature changes to detect movement. For example, I have this right next to my front door. If I open the door (and it opens into the sensor) nothing happens, as soon as my body is clear from the door then the device detects something. Perhaps something using the contact closure module will be more effective.

Is your question what functions does this model have? If so it only has one, to open and close the door. It's a single button remote.

Yes, it does have the "closed / off" "open / on" feature. Biggest thing is you need to make sure it stays closed, cause if it keeps moving your screen could turn on and off, and drain your batter faster.

Yes. The alarm is triggered when a sensor changes state. So if you leave it open and don't touch it, it will not trigger the alarm

The current version of the app does not send alerts when your door is left open, this feature is expected in an upcoming release of the App.

Yes, we also have 2 doors, however it only alerts if own and closes the doors. I does not open the doors, a feature we would have liked.

Maybe this reading might help a little, http://www.garagerepairutah.com/garage-door-opener-open-close-problems/Door openers know their state, and it's not based on the eye sensors or anything like that. When you click the button on your remote, the entire assembly knows if it needs to open, or to close, or if it is in the middle of one of the operations. I can assure you from hundreds of customers using this specific button that is internet connected, their phones know quite positively the status of the door. It updates and even shows confirmation once it is in that other state. If you're on the fence about getting it because you just don't understand how it works, go ahead and get it and let it surprise you!

There is a setting to reverse the sensor status. Out of the box it said the door was closed when open, etc

Yes, it knows if it is open or closed and also reports how long it has been that way. It will message (as long as you have messaging enabled) if it has opened or closed by any device or button too and if it is open or closed by that other button or remote etc. I don't know how it knows but the inside button must get the info direct and transmits it to the WiFi hub.

Jim, it will close the door automatically according to the setting you use. I use the 3 1/2 minute setting but you can go to 5 minutes on up. It connects in two places ... the main box with the settings, etc gets attached to a wall next to or near your existing switches to open and close the door and the sensor gets attached to the rail upon which the door moves. Hope this helps, I love this product as does my neighbor.

I thought it was such a cool idea. I could carry the fob and if I left my iPhone on my desk at work it would tell me. It would sometimes give me a false positive (beeping when I was right next to the phone) or not beeping when I walked really far away. So I have not used it in 9 months (since I retired). Wish it would have worked like it said. It could just be the App and it probably has been updated and I just don't care as much as when I was at work and would accidentally leave it on my desk and walk away. Hope this helps in some way.

You will need two if you want/need to control both. If you connect both doors to one device, both will always open/close together.

You could definitely use it to see when motion occurs in your mailbox (i.e. someone putting mail in or taking it out. You won't be able to see if the door is "technically" open or closed unless you use the light sensor built in to the unit. Additionally, you'll want to make sure the unit is close enough to your house for the sensor to communicate with the rest of the sensors in your house.
