I didn't know I could operate the light on my opener different than letting the opener operate it.

Read the emuanual, mine don't do that. Don't rememberize any of the openers having that particular feature when I got mine. Now, seems most all do that, and you can open them with an app an your phone as well. Not sure how secure that is though. The Internet Of Things isn't quite as secure as they make it out to be.

May get some occupancy switches and do most of my house. Bathrooms, laundry room, spare bedrooms, etc. Both of my spare bedrooms have light switches that are farther into the room than expected. Bet they would come one before you could reach the switch. The default is to go off after 5 minutes of not seeing any movement, but can be set to 1, 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes.

How long should those rubber seal things around garage doors last? After 5 years I can see light on the sides and especially the top. Not much good having an insulated door if there is a gap open around the sides and top. Especially since my ridge vent sucks air like crazy thru the gap under the heater closet doors.

Do any of you guys have some sort of protection to keep someone from fishing a coat hanger thru the gap at the top of your garage door, catching and pulling the opener trolly release? One youtube shows a guy screwing a board to the top of his door to keep them from fishing a hanger in. Others say to just use a zip tie. They say the zip tie can be broken with the pull rope from inside, but not with a hanger or if they are able to fish the pull rope out the top of the door. There is another that puts a plate on top of the door that hooks to a plate you mount on the wall so the top of the door can't be pushed open at all and you can't wriggle a hanger past the plates.

Was blissfully ignorant until I googled garage door stuff!
