I've been using my gate openers for about 4 years to open my double garage doors. They work very nice, and I enjoy making Alexa open them for me. When she can hear me. She's more frustrating than the doors. So much that I've change the name of my doors to "The Freaking Doors". That way I can tell Alexa to open the freaking doors.

Replaced control board because gate was opening and closing on its own. I took the vehicle sensor out play and it still operated knits own. All problems fixed with replacement of board.

Easy to find the parts I needed.

Replacement works as advertised.

Easy experience to purchase and swap a part that was damaged by ants.
Cary M - 05/14/2023
Good: simple to install, to wire together, and operate. Bad: board fails after about 2 years.

Simple to use. I liked the emails providing the status of shipment.

Old board fried. New board not fried. Thanks Ghost Controls.

Found the thing. Bought the thing.

I am glad this component is easy to order and replace. I wish it had a longer life, though. The warranty is for 18 months, and this is the 3rd controller board I have replaced. It fails after about 2 years.

Overall, your product has been great. When an actuator arm went bad you replaced it free of charge. On the down side, the control module's reliability has been disappointing. I have replaced the control module 3 times now. It seems to last about 2 years, just past the end of the warranty, and then fails. Perhaps that is a maintenance fee I have to pay. I plan to continue to use the gate opener for the forseeable future.

Last year we purchased a home that has a GhostControls DEP2 system installed on our main drive. It has worked well and Lighting storm and faulty vehicular sensor (not their's) took out my control board. The part was I little pricey, but you know, they are the only game in town for this part (3 stars). But, bottom line is the board replacement fixed my problem. CService was best I've encountered for a while, knowledgeable, friendly, and got the part to me quickly (5 stars+). When compared with what you run into these days with CS departments, if you even get a real person, the added value to me was well worth it. The gate is working. Happy wife happy life

Board does not make audible beeping sounds, when setting the gate open limit for instance. The gate was also having other issues.

This board replaced a board which evidently got messed up by lightning which also blew the diode at the motor. The old board was overheating the electric lock.

Customer support was good but the trick is getting to talk to them. They resolved one issue but after several attempts I decided to replace the board.
Joe D - 11/24/2022
This board worked perfectly! Better than my initial wiring which had a loose wire and required a call to tech support - they gave me the quick fix!

Fast...

We have not even had this system a year and this is the 2nd control board to go bad. So we will need a 3rd. System worked great for a few months then the error codes start. Customer service has not responded to basically all of our attempts to contact. We are well over 1500 dollars into this and about as frustrated as possible.

Easy to install. Easy to program. Easy to connect with existing ghost equipment. Operatingin minutes, not hours. Thanks Ghost for making it easy.

Everything right before your eyes.

Keeps getting hit by lightning and no one knows how or why it is happening. Cost me over $170 every time. Good way to make residual money I guess.
08/19/2022 - NC
It is a say day because I have to spend $176 to replace a control board that I know will get hit by lighting AGAIN.
Eric S - 08/13/2022
THE NEW BOARD FIXED MY PROBLEM. THANKS!
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
