Chamberlain - MyQ Smart Garage Hub - Black

As of today this product worked but tomorrow could be another story. First let me start off with the battery in the sensor for the garage door is the first thing that need to be replaced. Because the hub will send open door messages to the app. And next comes the error code. It’s because the app doesn’t know if the door is open or closed. If the error occurs you have to manually press the garage door button to close. I also had to reset the hub after changing the battery. Even with changing it’s still no guarantee if the hub with communicate with the door sensor. There been times when the app says the door is open when I’m actually looking at a closed door. Waiting on the reset for the app can be lengthy at times. Now when it does work properly there’s no problem. I have been 25 or more miles away and I could open the garage door from the app. I just think it’s supposed to work 100% of the time with not having to guess if it’s going to work or not...

This is a pretty good unit. It's a bit squirrelly to set up but not too bad. You have to wifi connect your phone directly to this device to enter your wifi network connection info. I had to stop my phone from autoconnecting to my router so it would stay connected to this hub so I could enter the Wi-Fi info but once I figured that out it was an easy setup. The sensor that tells you if the door is up or down takes a cr22 or something watch battery. This is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars but to be fair it isn't that old yet and I have not had to change the battery yet. It just seems like a more robust battery, like the ones that go in a wireless doorbell would have been a better choice. If it proves me wrong and the battery lasts a long time I will edit my review. Lol. Warning. After buying this item I am now obsessed with smart home products and I now have a smart outdoor surveillance system and smart lighting in and out, as well. Hahaha. So awesome. You have been warned!!

I wanted to get a smart garage opener, which I could set up myself and had great reviews as well. Set up was so easy, it took only minutes. It works great and at a touch on the app, it shows you the status, of door - how long it has been open or closed for. It is very reasonably priced as well. The hub does not need to be installed on the ceiling as per their video, mine is placed on the opposite wall from the sensor. Tip: Just make sure you can get to the program control on your old garage opener easily, mine was a genie model and had screws on top, so I had to get someone with higher ladders to remove the screws on top of the lens cover for me.

Setup was easy and be sure to download the app first before proceeding. App connects everything to the network and gives step by step instruction. Sensor attaches to garage door with adhesive strips and the garage module mounts at the front of your garage. Door opener happens to be a Chamberlain and this was great! Be sure to disconnect any devices that emit conflicting frequencies like bug zappers, etc. Sometime the open/close cycle may get off track if you open with your phone and abruptly close with the push of physical door opener button. Easy to resolve if that's the case. A password can be added to prevent premature operation. Also, when closing with your phone, device gives a series of warning beeps before engaging the garage door closer, Overall, can't complain about this device.

We got this so we could make sure the garage door was shut after my oldest left for school. He has his head buried in his phone and forgets sometimes. Beating him does nothing for his memory so we opted for this. It's great! You can set auto-shut timers for the whole week- different days and times-to make sure its shut. It will also send you an alert when it auto-shuts the door. This was super easy to install, even AOC could do it. The app is also easy to use and simple. It does require a wifi connection to function. It's an easy piece of mind purchase that has had zero issues so far.

I bought this because for some odd reason my garage door opener will not work at night sometimes. This has been a handy and reliable back up. It does not work with Siri or Alexa, but you can drip another $50 for a hub that will allow it work with Siri - at least that’s what I’ve read. But to do that would likely require yet another electrical outlet. I installed a Leviton 4-in-1 outlet (1254-W) on the ceiling in case I ever decide to get the hub. It expands the 2 plug outlet to 4 and is simple to install.

I wanted to be able to open and close my Genie NON-SMART garage door remotely to let my birds get some direct sun when Im not home. And this is Exactly what this device lets me do. I also set up reminder notifications to be sent to my phone after the garage door has been open for 2 hours and 4 hours. One thing to improve would be to be able to stop the door in the middle like you know if I only want the door halfway open, should be able to do that from the app like 1/4th open, 1/2 open, 3/4th open and full open would be great addition too. But thats just me nit picking :D Im happy with this device. Easy to set up, I was able to set it up myself in less than 15 minutes. I am diy-er 35 yr old female.

Bought this on sale at Best Buy. Fairly easy to set up. Easy to use and can share with three other people. Great for our home away from home.
