    • What Chamberlain doesn’t tell you (and should!)
Style: Old Version myQ Smart Garage Hub
You’re looking for a solution to open your garage door from a remote location. Package deliveries, the housekeeper, your tool-hoarding neighbor. This is one of several products out there that will do the trick. If you’re a garage door tech, move along. You know this already. If your a DIY homeowner with grand plans, you must read on - This is what Chamberlain should tell you about their system but doesn’t. While generally easy to install, without an Introduction or Basic Principles of Operation as a preamble, you will likely have the same issues I did. Read on for the lessons I learned and tips that will save your hair. I will explain each of the major elements of the system and provide suggestions to improve your probability of a successful installation. The Door sensor: This sensor communicates with the smart hub using Bluetooth to indicate door operation and open/ closed condition. During installation it is paired to the smart hub which is best performed with the unit attached to a closed door between 3’ and 10’ from the smart hub. By design, Bluetooth distance is limited to 33’ but don’t count on consistent operation at this extreme end of the range. Consider this distance during installation and future operation. Your 2.4ghz cordless phones, baby monitors, etc., can cause Bluetooth interference. Get them out. If your wireless router has a setting for Bluetooth coexistence, enable it. Your Wireless (Wi-Fi) Network: The Chamberlain documentation says that 2 bars of 2.4ghz WiFi signal is enough for consistent operation. This can be checked by looking on your phone. I say, your mileage may vary. I installed a dedicated access point for the smart hub as I couldn’t get the system to work reliably. A wired connection is also supported. Configure the smart hub with a static IP Address on your wireless network. This will help ensure the Chamberlain service can reach the smart hub quickly and easily when you activate the door. The additional time for the router or server to lookup a dynamic IP Address and establish a connection could create timing issues. The Smart Hub: The smart hub includes a Bluetooth receiver for the door sensor, a 2.4 ghz radio to connect to your wireless home network for the system to communicate with Chamberlain’s servers on the internet, and a radio frequency (RF) transmitter to send HomeLink rolling codes to your garage door opener (on a channel in the 300-400mhz range depending on your garage door opener) - just like your remote clicker. I discovered that the RF transmitter in the smart hub is fairly weak. While your car can transmit a signal a half block away, the smart hub can't. The instructions make a recommendation for placement of the smart hub but will make an explicit statement here - install it within the 4-6’ “recommendation”. Consider this when planning your installation. Apparently, orientation is important for maximum reach. If it doesn’t work reliably, flip it 180 degrees on its mount. Finally, like other garage door remotes, if it loses power you might have to re-program the system with the garage door learn button. They don’t tell you this so I will. Finally, the smart hub needs to be located where it can communicate with; 1) the door sensor (Bluetooth), 2) the garage door opener (RF) and, 3) your wireless (WiFi) network to work consistently! Each has its own distance limitations so placement of the hub is critical. Your garage door opener: You obviously have one to which you are adding this system. Do your homework and make sure it’s compatible before you buy. If you’re not positive, call or email them with your make and model numbers in hand. Mine is a Craftsman (Chamberlain) made in 1999 with the door sensors so I was good to go. NOTE: Garage door openers have a limit to the number of remotes they can support. My Craftsman supports 4 remotes. With two HomeLink-connected cars, the remote door opener, and the smart hub I am now at the max allowed by my opener. As a result, I had to decommission my "clickers". Do your homework and factor this into your plans. The Phone App: A basic, functional, app with a few frills. It works well enough though some settings are best changed on the web site (that I didn’t know about). When installing the smart hub your phone will need to be on your 2.4ghz wireless network to complete the setup. After that, it doesn’t matter what your phone is connected to - your home network or a cell connection. The system can be setup entirely from your phone. I set up an open alert, a close alert and a 10pm door not closed reminder. The alerts can be sent to you via Text or email. The Chamberlain service: Does not support Alexa or IFTTT (without a fee) and that’s fine for me. I always have my phone handy and I don’t need the security concerns that come with IFTTT. Also, multi-user accounts are not (yet) supported. I just program the wife’s phone with the same username/ password and off we go. The system is fairly rudimentary and in my opinion could use some added intelligence. If the system components exchanged more status information it could probably avoid situations where the “door [is] not responding” or better error status information could be presented to the user. Sometimes I think it’s just that Chamberlain's servers are slow. LED & Florescent lights: I hear you asking “why is this important?”. Both can emit radio and electromagnetic interference that can mask the signal between the smart hub and your opener. If you experience unreliable operation - out they go. The last thing I did was remove an LED lamp from a motion sensor fixture nearby and replaced it with a standard incandescent. Since the light is only on for a few minutes I’m not worried about the power usage if it means the garage door will close when commanded. I give Chamberlain credit for trying to make the install easy. Considering the different operating environments and variables, it’s a challenge to cover all the bases. Unfortunately, a quick start guide simply isn’t enough in this case and the online instructions are no better. They have made some assumptions about what you need to know (or don't need to know). The above precautions should be spelled out to avoid customer frustration and reduce the number of calls to their help desk (and returned product). The good news for me is that after 2 months of trial and error and multiple calls and emails to their help desk, I think we may finally have all the issues cleared up. My fingers are crossed. Now you know everything Chamberlain should tell you but doesn't. Best of luck! ... show more

    • Super Simple and solves so many little annoyances in life
Style: Old Version myQ Smart Garage Hub
Review Image by Irwin Electronics Irwin Electronics

Review Image by Irwin Electronics Irwin Electronics
So many mixed reviews. Are people not following directions? Likely. Do people have a weak signal in their garage? Good possibility. Should some people not be allowed around technology? Definitely! I was hesitant after the mixed reviews. But there's something to be said for over ten thousand positive reviews and number one bestseller. I also like the idea of a wired button and magnetic contact switch that others have over the "this is just another remote" approach the MyQ uses. However, there's also something to be said for a simpler install, portability, fewer wires, and cleaner looking. Just as others have said, follow the instructions. That's the best advice I can give you. If reading comprehension is not your strength, why are you reading reviews? Hire a handyman. The whole setup, and installation, was very quick and easy. If you can hang a picture, you can do this! I did not attempt to integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google, or ITTT. My new car does not have a Home Link mirror, so no remote. I didn't want an ugly clicker on my visor, and just something to leave behind in a rental car/truck. I've always got my phone, and if I didn't I couldn't close the garage until I ran in and grabbed it! Not to mention how many times did I already arm the alarm, but not yet check the garage door? A lot! how many times was the door left open all night? Even once is too many. How many times did I drive away and wonder, did I leave the door open? I see no mention of monthly fees for my install, and I did set up alarms in case the door was left open or did not close properly. I love the idea of turning my garage into my own Amazon Locker! How many times have I worried about packages on the porch? The whole install consists of two pieces of velcro and two drywall anchors with screws. The setup of the whole system was installing an App and pressing two buttons. If that frightens you, hire a handyman, or buy your neighbor a beer. As for that super loud, extremely annoying door close alarm that bothers the neighbors, perhaps they've toned it down. It beeps and a little LED light flashes. That's all there is to it. A power failure messes it up? I had it plugged into the wall for the setup, and disconnected it and moved everything for the final install. Nothing was lost. An extended power outage may be a different story, but how often does that happen? The device loses connectivity? Not that I have seen so far. Perhaps it's time to invest in a better router or access point? Chamberlain's support was/was not helpful? Chamberlain's support was not necessary. The device takes too long to respond. If nearly instantly is too long. My wife likes a clean garage. That means almost nothing is stored in the garage. Certainly nothing of value. But that also means this device received approval for it's clean, simplistic, nice looking install. Her words were, "Very nice." I'm happy. The wife is happy. What more could you want? I hope I've addressed all your concerns. Reading comprehension, hire a handyman or buy your neighbor a beer. That's really all there is to it. I was looking for something I read here regarding 16 bit AES. I didn't find it, but just to clarify, there is no such thing. 16 BYTE, however, is the key size for 128 bit AES encryption. I also read where a couple of people stated this damaged their opener. Hogwash! There is NO physical connection between the MyQ and the opener. The MyQ is nothing more than another "clicker" like what you have in your car now. The MyQ basically has three radios built-in. One communicates with your Wi-Fi router over 2.4 GHz, the second communicates with the door sensor, presumably over 900 MHz, and the third is the "clicker" radio. Since this works with most openers, it is universal and therefore uses multiple frequencies depending on which make/model opener you have. Saying it damaged your opener is like saying I turned on my car stereo and my dishwasher shut off. Others say they do this for a living and... take that with a grain of salt. I provide IT support for a living and I know some people that don't have a clue what they're doing. Who among you works in an office, knows their job, does it well, and knows someone that struggles with even the basics of the job? We ALL do! Giving the benefit of the doubt, perhaps they received a defective unit. It happens. But more likely it's a problem with the customer's router. Most garage door installers are not computer techs, just as most computer techs don't know garage doors. If there were a problem with the tension spring on my door, or if it somehow began to move at an angle and got stuck, I wouldn't have a clue how to fix it. I'd have to call a door company. Installing this device is on the technology side, not the physical door side of the business. If your door guy is stumped, thank him for his time and call an IT guy. There are many devices around the home that operate at/near/ or have harmonics in the 2.4 GHz band. I found cases where a poor connection at an outdoor lightbulb, and another where a failing Infrared night-vision security camera cause sufficient noise in the band to make communication impossible. Some LED and many fluorescent lights will cause similar interference. Many wireless routers are factory set on channel 6 for Wi-Fi. You may be surrounded by signals from all 4 neighbors operating on the same channel as your router. I have a laptop with specialized software that identifies those signals and gives me a real-time graph of their strength. A good IT guy can identify this and change the frequency of your router to a much clearer channel. This can be especially difficult in an apartment complex, but you are connecting a garage door opener, so it's much more likely you're not in an area as densely populated. To sum it up, those experiencing trouble likely have other IT problems on their end. This is not a fault of the MyQ, and not something a garage door company can likely solve. The MyQ is a very simple device that operates completely wireless, with the exception of one power cord. For 99% of the people reading this, that's a good thing. UPDATE: I have been using this daily for 6 weeks now. It has never dropped off the network. I did falsely alert once that the door was open when it wasn't, and twice it said it couldn't determine the status of the door. In each case, opening or closing the door reset it. The two times it couldn't determine the status were when I opened the app to open or close the door as I was about to drive through it, so no big deal. The false open alert was a little concerning, but I have a driveway camera on one side, and the door to the house on the other has an alarm. Neither showed any alerts of activity, so I knew all was well. Although this has me thinking a camera inside the garage might not be a bad idea. Is the door really open or closed? Did I leave a light on? I can simply view the camera on my phone or computer and be sure. If something WERE going on, I'd have it all on video. What's $30 for that extra peace of mind? I should also note that I do not work for Chamberlain, nor any of their child companies. I paid full price for my device. My review is based on my personal experience, expertise, and opinion. I do not receive compensation for any of my reviews, but I'm not opposed to that! How can I get in on this? Free products in exchange for an honest review? It seems too good to be true. ... show more

    • Inexpensive, works well, no iOS integration beyond app (Siri, Shortcuts, CarPlay)
Style: myQ Smart Garage™ Control
This review is for: myQ Chamberlain Smart Garage Control - Wireless Garage Hub and Sensor with Wifi & Bluetooth - Smartphone Controlled, myQ-G0401-ES, White Summary: Well worth the price, would buy again, good iOS app but no iOS integration (Siri and CarPlay). Review: I really like this product overall. My wife and I have had too many times where we were around the corner and trying to remember if the garage was shut. For example, sometimes a leaf will block the sensor and prevent it from closing at the last moment. I would buy it again because it is so inexpensive for what it does. Setup and installation was easy. The hardest part was trying to determine the color of my garage door opener's learn code button. It looked like it was really close between two colors. Each button color apparently determines what codes the setup tries to connect with. Also check the compatibility on their site before buying! It even supports Amazon's Garage Delivery, which is a nice surprise. It is also nice to be able to open the garage door when around the block. Normally I have to be fairly close to the garage door before the regular remote will actually open the door. If you don't want phone notifications every time the door is opened or closed, the notifications can be disabled or customized to only show if the garage door has remained opened or closed for X minutes. --- And now the part I don't like about it. Keep in mind that it works very well and is inexpensive. Even if one just uses the iOS app it is well worth the price. The iOS integration is nearly non-existent. The app works really well and is easy to use. However, there is no Siri integration, it has no CarPlay integration (seriously??), has no iOS Shortcut actions, and third party apps (like IFFT) can't open or close the door. Only get the status. And those apps either have a monthly subscription and/or are part of a whole home automation package. As I understand, there is a $100 MyQ hub for this product that can integrate with Apple Home (which itself requires more hardware). But the message boards suggest that it will be discontinued shortly. I don't think I would want to invest another $150+ for that. I don't even know if Apple Home would add Siri integration while away anyway. But again, I would still recommend buying this product alone. ... show more

    • Converts my dumb garage openers to a smart system...
Style: myQ Smart Garage™ Control
Review Image by Yoda Yoda
Review Image by Yoda Yoda
I serendipitously stumbled on this item while perusing Amazon for a remote garage opener for an old Sears Craftman opener. Boy, am I content to have accidentally discovered this item. It has converted both my Chamberlain garage openers to a useful smart system. I brought two as Amazon renewed items in order to have two garage sensors since I have a three-car garage with two garage openers. The extra hub will be as backup. I got a decent deal vs getting them as new items. One was brand new & the other one was somewhat already used by the previous owner because the garage sensor already had the adhesive tape attached & a little dirty. However, they both seem to be working without any issues. I guess this is what is expected with renewed items. It was packaged well & shipping was relatively quick despite not being a prime member. The installation was somewhat agonizing because of my complicated network setup. I don't use a traditional off the shelf router. Instead, I use a third-party, open-source firewall as my router... running on a typical desktop computer with many managed switches & AP's. This powerful network setup allows me to have a plethora of subnets & Vlans, which allow the ability for the segmentation of the network. This provides additional security by not allowing less secured devices, e.g., IoT's, from interacting with other secured devices on the LAN. After hours of trial & error, MyQ finally connected to my complex network. I had to temporarily disable client isolation & roll back the security protocol from WPA2/WPA3 to WPA/WPA2 of the UniFi [Ubiquity LR WiFi-5] AP. However, after successfully connected, I re-enabled both client isolation & the higher security protocol, WPA2/WPA3. It's working fine after a week of testing. Some reviewers say one must create a separate 2.4 ghz netwok with WAP/WPA2 only. This suggestion seems to be incorrect because it's connected & working on a dual band (2.4 & 5GHz) SSID with WPA2/ WPA3 enabled. I refused to create a less robust netwok (SSID) just for MyQ because I want all my IoT's to be on the same netwok so I can easily monitor them with the Unifi controller software. It seems the main factor that matters the most is the strength of the WiFi signal to the MyQ hub. One way to increase the WiFi signal strength without having to move equipment, is to increase the width of the WiFi signal if your WiFi offers this option. For example, the 2.4 ghz & 5 ghz were increased from 20 mhz to 40 mhz & 40 mhz to 80 mhz, respectively. This made a huge difference. The hub is much more stable now after this adjustment despite the fact that AP is more than 50 ft from the garage with many obstacles in between the hub & AP. Word of caution, this option could create connectivity issues for some networks. In general, Ubiquity AP's are more powerful & flexible than the typical WiFi device. The app is wonderful for the most part. To install, you just download the MyQ app & follow the directions. Easy peasy if you have a basic network. It may be a little harder if you have a complex network like mine. The app works as intended for the most part, but it has a couple minor issues that can be frustrating. 1. Tired of the frequent password login requests when biometric login is the only option enabled in the app. The biometric option isn't always consistent even when it's successful because there are occasions when a password prompt page still pops up. When that occurs, I have to tap the top back arrow for access, weird.🤔 2. General notifications work great but I can't seem to get the "schedule" option to work. I want the garage door to close automatically at a certain time at night in case I forgot to close it. There are times when the garage door was left opened overnight. Don't want strangers, especially animals looking for a warm comfortable place to rest for the night as if it's a hotel. I live in a relatively safe, gated community in a cul-de-sac. There are strange animals roaming the place at night. My biggest fear is stumbling on one of them in my garage. Thus, this is an important feature [schedule] for me that I would love to see working. Overall, this is an awesome system that will convert the typical garage door opener into a useful smart device. Update <4/22/23>: The "schedule option" is now working for me, yippee! It appears this option will not activate if the scheduled "time" is the same for both garage sensors. Problem solved after staggering the time for both sensors. This is a nifty feature. 🥰🤗 ... show more

    • Very easy to install
Style: myQ Smart Garage™&nbsp;Control
Usually before buying something, I do my homework by reading manuals, reviews and customers' feedback. I needed to get this myQ as I hate carrying keys and remotes... So, I got it and I was hesitating on installing it before the weekend... Just in case something happened. Yesterday after work, I was bored and decided to give it a try by just plugging it and check the app and so. Without almost knowing, I found myself already installing it in the garage and it did work perfectly fine from the first time. I have a commercial building with a lot of metal beams in the walls. I have the frame of the garage door installed in a weird way... There was a comment where the guy complained about an issue that was fixed by keeping the receiver (hub) away from all metal. It was impossible for me to do so but I crossed by fingers (and legs)... Installation went very nice and easy! Connecting it to the garage door motor didn't work the first time but it did the second time (can't tell why). Once paired, the garage door opened and closed about 3 times before confirming successful pairing. The instruction calls for having the original remote in hands but never used it for the procedure. After all, it is working from my phone and from my Tesla. I don't like how it works with the Tesla and I don't think I will be paying the subscription. It opens immediately when approaching and starts closing once you shift to P in the Tesla. I think I'll have it working from my phone as remote control (and status monitor) and that's perfect for me. I am thinking about using it as Amazon key but still hesitating since I don't have camera in the garage (yet). I'll maybe give it a try.... ... show more

    • A Brilliant Smart Garage Control
Style: myQ Smart Garage™&nbsp;Control
After being disappointed by a previous smart garage module from another brand, I decided to give the myQ Chamberlain Smart Garage Control a try. This ingenious device has proven to be a top-notch solution for upgrading my garage door with smart capabilities. The myQ Chamberlain Smart Garage Control has an unintrusive installation process. Unlike other smart garage controls that require complex interfaces between the opener and the opener button, this device keeps it simple. All it needs is power and placement at a specific height, within eyesight of the sensor on the garage door itself. This intuitive design essentially acts as a second opener, making installation a breeze. I was pleasantly surprised at how quick and straightforward the setup was through the myQ app. In less than half an hour, I had the smart garage control up and running, seamlessly integrating with my garage door opener. The user-friendly interface and step-by-step guidance made the process stress-free and enjoyable. The myQ Chamberlain Smart Garage Control offers an excellent value proposition. Its competitive price tag makes it one of the most affordable smart garage devices on the market. If you have an older but still functional garage door opener and don't want to replace it entirely to make it smart, this device is the perfect solution. I also love the seamless integration with Alexa and Ring. Monitoring the garage door through other devices and receiving push notifications on Alexa-enabled devices adds an extra layer of convenience and security. It's fantastic to have this level of control and access right at my fingertips. I was so impressed with the myQ Chamberlain Smart Garage Control that I recommended it to my parents, who have a two-car garage with multiple doors (if you have more than one door, make sure to buy a second sensor). Through the myQ app, sharing access with others on a permanent or temporary basis is easy. I can now effortlessly open my parents' garage door from my phone whenever needed. This device is an easy, low-cost, and incredibly useful addition to any garage. Its seamless installation, affordable price, and intelligent design make it a must-have for anyone seeking to upgrade their garage with smart capabilities. ... show more

    • Easy to install (if you follow instruction exactly) but has a few problems
Style: myQ Smart Garage™&nbsp;Control
The MyQ Smart Garage Control is an excellent product because it works entirely wirelessly and does not require any wiring (other than pluging the hub into an electric outlet). I learned (the hard way) that installation is fairly easy (especially since there's no wiring) but should be done all at one time -- doing part of it (WiFi connection & pairing the door sensor) and attempting to finish the installation later, doesn't seem to work. I also learned that Chambelain support does not include providing information on compatibility or installation issues for non-Chamberlain garage door openers. Following installation, I've noticed that the notifications are less than 100% consistent -- as an example, yesterday I opened the garage door with the standard opener wall button and closed it with the HomeLink in my vehicle, but there was no notification or entry in the 'history'; when I returned and opened the door with the HomeLink there was a notification & history, but when I closed it with the HomeLink a minute later the notification & history occcured 22 minutres later! Since none of the above involved using the MyQ app to open or close the garage door, I suspect that these inconsistencies relate to the fact that activity is transmitted from the MyQ hub via WiFi and Internet to a server, and there may be a delay with the server. I would also really like to have a feature in the MyQ app to automatically close the garage door after it has been open for a set (by the user) number of minutes. Of course, this would only work if the open & close activity is accurately reported! ... show more

    • Great option for older, non-MyQ enabled garages
Style: myQ Smart Garage™&nbsp;Control
I recently moved into an older home with a detached garage that had an older but functioning garage door opener. As I'm unable to poke my head out the door to determine if the garage door is open/closed (or, likewise, make the same determination after I've left the house), I looked into replacing the opener and then discovered this little control. I had a MyQ-enabled opener at my previous house and loved the app integration and ability to check on the status of my door (did I forget to close it? Did the kids leave it open?). Installing this in my garage was fairly straightforward. Instructions are simple to follow. The main challenge is placement where hopefully you have an existing outlet nearby to plug the main component into. There is an ample amount of cable with the plug to make a run if need be. Placing the transmitter on your garage door is done with extra strong velcro tape. Integration with my existing opener took two attempts but the unit finally connected. The app is great, providing me with notifications when the door is opened/closed, and my ability to look at it and determine the current status of the door provides a nice sense of security. I've not integrated this into my Alexa-sphere and have not opted into the Amazon garage delivery service, so cannot comment on how this works with that option. ... show more

I got this device when it was still around $40. I would say especially now the price has got down, it is certainly a worthwhile investment to convert a dumb garage door opener into a smart one that you can control via your smartphone or allow Amazon Key access through the Key app. Here are my general thoughts on this device: The good: 1. Great battery life - Since it uses a larger-sized coin battery, a single battery usually gets about 10 months of operation in my case during normal operation. 2. The device was quite easy to set up with my old LiftMaster Professional garage door opener that did not support any smart connectivity. 3. Open/close push notifications are generally instantaneous and have been consistently reliable. 4. Status readings are accurate in real-time and the apps give a good history as far as when your garage door is opened/closed. 5. Guest user sharing that allows you to share access outside of your main account. However, sharing is location-based, and access cannot be delegated down to specific sensors. 6. Orientation sensors mounted on the garage door allow you to sense door activity without physically modifying the garage door (just a sticky tape mount on the garage door itself). 7. Amazon can actually deliver packages in the garage without leaving them at the doorstep. The not so good: 1. There is approximately a five-second delay between when a close command is issued through the app and when your garage door actually begins to close. During that delay, the main unit emits constant, loud warning beeps warning others to clear the area. I find this feature annoying since it adds a delay to when you have to wait for your garage door to close and the warning beeps may startle others (like your neighbors) at night thinking that it may be some kind of break-in. There are no official ways to disable this feature, although you can open the unit and desolder the speaker so the annoying beeping can be stopped. Alternatively, using the physical button can also avoid this issue (but this only works if you have a physical remote to use as well). 2. The device only supports 2.4Ghz wireless connections and would not connect if WPA3 is enabled on your device, even in mixed WPA3+WPA2 PSK mode. This means that if you have purchased a newer router that supports WPA3, enabling it will prevent the main unit from connecting to it altogether. In those cases, you will either have to fall back to WPA2-PSK only mode or create an alternate network for IoT devices that support only WPA2-PSK on the 2.4Ghz spectrum. 3. Connections are not the most stable and sometimes you will suddenly receive notifications that your device has gone offline, even if all of your other devices are fine and are connected to the Internet. Generally, the device will fix itself within 15 minutes when this happens, but during that time you would not be able to open/close your garage door via the app. 4. Amazon Key activity is not always recorded - It seems like Amazon Key uses a different API to send door open/close activities to the garage door opener and their activities are not always 100% recorded in the garage door MyQ history. Although I have not had any thefts relating to this so far, having this happen without a record is somewhat concerning to me. You can tell this is happening because the driver can close your garage door opener without the same annoying beeps that you would otherwise get if you closed it with your app. 5. Google Assistant integration is pretty useless - They used to require a subscription for you to even use this, but so far this feature has been pretty useless. This is especially because you can only use this integration to close the garage door or check its status. If you are driving and trying to open the garage door via the assistant, you will simply get a message saying "For security purposes, I cannot open the garage door yet." What is the purpose of using the assistant if this cannot be done hands-free? Additionally, if you have multiple sensors, the MyQ app will often get confused and keep asking you which one you wish to operate. It is just much easier to try to tinker with the app and try to open the garage door that way. Although they have temporarily waived payment for this, I am not sure why someone would pay for this half-baked feature. 6. If you have MyQ and the Amazon Key app installed, they both start generating notifications at the same time. Although this is tweakable, this is still somewhat annoying. 7. If you ever had to change your Wi-Fi password, you will have to reset the whole system and start the repairing process all over again. I don't know why they can't just allow you to do this in the app before the password change rather than forcing you through the whole process again. 8. Although Amazon Key works most of the time, around 20% of the time the driver will elect to still put packages on your doorstep because it takes too long to open and close your garage door, and waiting for your garage door to open and close will cut into their delivery efficiency and rates. I actually have had multiple Amazon drivers shouting obscenities at the camera on different occasions because the garage door is taking too long to respond or they are carrying a large burden for the day. There was a Key delivery for an electronic that was both expensive and sensitive, but in that delivery, the driver ended up putting the package on the side door where my gutters were and the package got all soaked on a rainy day. 9. The coin battery, being larger than the standard CR2032 (it uses a CR2450), is more difficult to find in stores and generally more expensive. Although you can still find them online in bulk, it might be more difficult to find something quick when the device is running low in battery. 10. It tends to alert about the battery when the battery voltage is still a bit high. I measured the battery voltage of the stock battery which I replaced in which it said low battery, and the battery was still reporting 3.09V. Perhaps there is a high current draw that was causing it to go below a certain threshold, which seemed somewhat unlikely, I think perhaps they are doing this to try to get you to purchase these batteries more often (perhaps directly from Chamberlain themselves). ... show more

    • Worked well with older Liftmaster unit.
Style: myQ Smart Garage™&nbsp;Control
Didn't know if it would work with my Liftmaster motor but it did. Small compact package. Does not use your existing door remote, adds another code to the Liftmaster motor. mini-router uses WIFI and phone Bluetooth to set-up (phone required). AC adapter plugs into the 3" router connector (RC). Must install IOS or Android app first. Connects first with internet provider using your internet and internet code. 2nd the RC connects to door sensor (smaller box) that will send a signal to the RC indicating if the door is up or down. During the Sensor installation, the directions indicate a red led will show when you press the button on the smaller unit. The red light flashes but does not stay lit. After connected, you install it on the top panel of the garage door using supplied foam strips. The film on the foam strips is very difficult to remove with tearing the foam, especially seniors or those with eye/hand coordination problems. I would suggest using 3M command strips instead, especially if you are renting. After installing the door sensor (top up) you select which type of garage door you have in the app. The directions say to look for the "Learn" button, but my Liftmaster button was Red, and indicated it was to erase all the security codes if pressed continually. A safe ladder is necessary to see and press the "Learn" button. Checked online and found out the Red button was the one to use, but only to briefly press it. The app will search and find the motor, upload the security code. and the light will flash. Then the app will test the door by raising it and lowering the door. The phone app will graphically show if the door is open or closed, though there might be a slight delay. Option to add a second garage door opener if you have a 2 or 3 car garage. Total time to test and install: under 30 minutes. GPS and Bluetooth need turned on to operate the app. If internet goes down, unclear but likely the remote won't work. Likewise if the power goes off the door won't open. Unit was on sale when I purchased, and much cheaper than purchasing additional remotes. Option to use with Amazon deliveries, though not required. Includes ceiling or wall mounting bracket for router unit. ... show more

    • What a great device!
Style: myQ Smart Garage™&nbsp;Control
I had an outdated garage door opener from the 90s and recently had a Chamberlain professionally installed. The technician went above and beyond and even installed this MyQ i purchased in 2020 for free. I downloaded the app and setup was very simple until the last step when it continued to state that the serial numbers didn't match. I called customer support and they were very helpful and got me up and running within 20 minutes. My favorite part is that I can have Amazon and Walmart place my packages inside my garage and I paired it with my Ring doorbell. I also like that I can add family or friends to use the app. This way they can enter and exit my home through the garage door and I don't have to give them a house key. The share settings can be changed at any time if you wish to remove someone from having access. It's also great if you don't want to give your children a key yet. It sends notifications to your phone when your garage opens or closes. It also tells you how long your door has been opened or closed and keeps a log of all the activity. ... show more

    • Like the MyQ garage door remote control
Style: myQ Smart Garage™&nbsp;Control
My garage door opener is Lift Master Chamberlain without key pad. It was purchased 16 years ago. MyQ is compatible with it. Installation is simple but tricky. At the beginning,, I placed the control unit near the ceiling. It did not work because of a weak Wi-Fi signal strength. When I moved the control unit to eye level and closer to Wi-Fi router, it works fine. The garage door sensor was wireless, avoiding long wire. This is a very good design. Another good design is that you do not need to connect wires from the control unit to the garage door opener. I used MyQ for 2+ months. When I am away from home, I can check and operate my garage door with iPhone. That gives a peace of mind to me. If the cellular signal is weak, you cannot check or operate the garage door remotely. Overall, I am Rey satisfied with the MyQ. ... show more

We bought the controls because my vehicle did not come with a homelink built in and I was not liking the large button. We got the system and I had it installed in under a half hour. It works great and is really nice to not have the large button in the car anymore. Whats even better is that when your not home and someone comes over you can open the door for them to leave whatever it is in the garage. Amazon also offers a service to leave packages inside the garage as well while using this device. Overall I am very happy with the system and would recommend it to anyone with Wi-Fi available; Wi-Fi is needed to get connected to the system and control. ... show more
