Q: Do you have to leave wifi router on all the time to allow this to work or does it use cellular data?

A: The my q is attached to your home wi-fi, which has to be on all the time, however when you want to open or close the garage door, your phone or tablet can be connected via cellular and the device will still operate.

Q: Is the Myq compatible with a regular garage door opener? I would prefer to have the option to use a standard button opener when within range In addition to having the option to use my phone from anywhere. If so, What is the set up process?

A: If your garage door already works with a garage door opener, the myQ effectively is another one you mount to the ceiling and garage door. So yes, your existing opener still works.

Q: Is there a monthly service charge

A: No there is not

Q: My garage is detached. It is located approx.30' from my house & my wifi internet router is another 20' or so into the house. Is that too far to allow this to work? I see the main unit sits on top of the opener and plugs in, is door sensor batt powered?

A: Go to your garage with your phone and see if the wifi works there. If it does, you are good to go. Main unit does not sit on opener. It goes near opener. Door sensor comes with a battery already installed.

Q: Can this unit works with my Craftman 1/2 h/p garage door opener? Just want to make sure before pirchase

A: Pull the model number off the back of it and go to http://www.chamberlain.com/smartphone-control-products/smartphone-connectivity or read up at http://www.chamberlain.com/chamberlain/media/library/pdf/CGI_GarageDoorCompatability_v3_10-23-13.pdf

Q: If I want to control three different garage doors, do I have to buy the sensor and unit for all three garages?

A: this can only control 2 garage doors, you would need to buy one extra module for the second door and an entire unit for the 3rd door.

Q: Does this plug in, use batteries, or hardwired. Is there an option to use any of these 3.

A: Plugs in to house current

Q: Can you set up to close at say 9 pm every night

A: Yes, there are many different robots you can set

Chamberlain - MyQ Garage Door Controller
Installing the Chamberlain MyQ Garage door controller was very easy. The 2 hardware components mounted without any problem. Syncing the unit to the wifi in my home took a couple of tries but it has been working well. With the smartphone app. downloaded to our I-phones we can control the garage door, check to see if it is up or down from where ever we are, and eliminate the nagging question, "Did I remember to close the garage when I left the house?" We also receive notifications on our phone letting us know whenever the garage door is opening or closing. Our existing remotes are also still usable and have not been made inoperable when I installed the Chamberlain. If you are considering purchasing one for yourself, you should check their website to see if your garage door opener is compatible with the MyQ.

Easy to install and connect and works well.
We wanted to automate our house after we purchased and installed our Wink and WeMo connected light switches, after getting two Nest 3rd generation thermostats. Brought two of these Chamberlain MyQ Controllers so we could open up our two garage doors using our phone. We braced ourselves for a difficult install because our Internet router was pretty far from the garage area. We we pleasantly surprised how easy it was to hook into our Chamberlain made garage door opener and our router. Installed the two controllers and the two sensors in just under 30 minutes. Both controllers linked up easily using our iPhones. Unexpected advantage was the units will give both push notifications and emails when each of the garage doors are opened and closed with the time and date. Best yet, in case you rush out of the house, and can't remember if you closed the garage door, all you have to do is check the status using the MyQ app. The App can also link to your Nest system to monitor you heating and cooling, although the Nest app interface is more user friendly. Tip: If you are installing two units for two separate garage doors, make sure you mount the MyQ units as far away from each other as possible. We didn't do that and when one door opens using the app, the other unit sounds the alarm.
