For remote closing, yes. Controllers built to the operator standard check for a working sensor circuit before allowing a close from out of sight, and the door must stop and reverse if the beam is broken. Opening remotely and checking status generally work regardless. If your photo eyes are missing, dark or misaligned, they are put right as part of getting the door ready for the feature you actually want.
Number of doors
A second door means a second sensor, a second round of pairing and testing and sometimes a second hub, and each door is quoted as its own line.
Cellular backup if the home Wi-Fi goes down
A hub that only works over Wi-Fi stops reporting the moment the internet drops, which matters most during a storm. A cellular backup module keeps alerts and remote closing working through an outage, and whether one is added is decided once the household's connectivity is reviewed.
Users and devices to set up
Each family member's login, each phone that should receive alerts and each guest access is set up and tested individually, so say how many people are involved.
