I'm putting in 4 new 4 ft led strips from Amazon. Going to plug them into smart plugs, using the outlets for the garage door openers. Google home will make them easy to control

No Issues that I'm aware of, I'll confirm.
Edit: no issues. Liftmaster.

I actually just installed LED light bulbs on the opener itself, so maybe proximity was the issue. As well, my door openers are about 30 yrs old.

I installed these and they are wonderful. Like daylight in my garage. No, they don't interfere with my garage door opener.

I picked up a bunch(8) of them from Costco a few years ago - ~$20/each. They have been completely trouble free and no issues with a garage door openers.

I have two sets of these (16 total lights) in my garage. Lighting is great, and for the price I couldn't ask for more. Came from two 75w bulbs to this so it was a huge improvement. Have had them for about two years now. No issues, and no issues with openers either.

I went around the perimeter of the garage and strip down the middle. It's like daylight in there now, and there are no dark spots.
