Really Good to make a garage door smarter

It really is a great device if you don't have a smart garage door opener this makes it smart. Seamless setup process, though keep in mind that based on garage door opener you might need to try multiple times. I use it with my Tesla and have a myq subscription which opens and closed automatically when you leave or come back and also integrated with Mercedes Benz and works like a charm!!!
Taking away a star is because I had to try try multiple times to get it working, yes right I bought this device multiple times and returned as it didn't work with my garage door opener initially.
But got lucky recently and seems like myQ keeps working on updating the every possible garage door opener to make it compatible.

Love this thing. Works with Amazon key for secure garage deliveries. It also allows for guest keys so that my family could easily cat sit for us while we were on vacation without needing a key to the house. Tons of uses!

Very easy to set up, and a really nice product for the money. 4 stars instead of 5 only because it doesn't work with alexa. Seems like that should be something this should be able to do.

This works great with my Overhead Door Python 2 garage door opener. The setup was easy and adding a second sensor was just as easy. The only complaint that I have is that it can't be added to Google Home. What good is a smart home if they don't all work together?

Overall a great product. This spring we had left our grage open over night more then once. The schedule adds piece of mind, if we forget it will close on its own or I can confirm in the app.l

If only there was a way to get this device to work with Google Assistant or Alexa via my voice, it would be five stars. But as it stands, I have to pull out my phone, which typically has worked its way to the bottom of my purse, open the app, hit open twice, see if the door opens, which it does about 90% of the time. It probably takes less time to just get out and punch in my code. It is good for confirming the door is closed when I am away and for getting notified when it is opened (like when the painters left it open for 27 minutes). The older model I purchased years ago seemed more reliable.
It was easy to install both times (Craftsman and Genie openers).

So, first of all this thing works, is easy to set-up, and has not had a single failure. (This is good because i drive my car like the Batmobile at the garage.) So, as a device, i really am impressed. Not so impressed with the $50/year subscription ($300 lifetime) or the fact that i cannot connect it to HomeKit. Would i recommend this device? Yes. But i did not realize these things until after i installed it, so i thiught i would let you know.

Functional Upgrade to Older Garage Door
|

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The Chamberlain MyQ is a useful upgrade for garage door openers that aren't yet linked to one's home network. It allows us (multiple family users or neighbors watching our dogs) to remotely open, close or verify our garage door status.
Installation went very smoothly...first step is to download the MyQ app and it walks you through everything. My only short delay was when pairing my overhead motor unit to the MyQ Smart Control...I have what looks like a faded red or orange "Learn" button and choosing those colors during the pairing process didn't enable pairing to complete. I looked up my 2006 model unit online and saw a video showing a purple "Learn" button and when I chose that as the color, pairing was instantaneous.
Very easy set-up and useful functionality at a good price.

I had an eye on this product for a long time and it used to work with Alexa and Google. Now that I got it, it turns out it doesn't work with neither. It works great except for that detail AND you can't stop the opening or closing of your door. I won't stop until it is fully closed or fully open. So I'm a little bit disappointed :(
Nowadays it is definitely indispensable this type of gadgets to work in partnership with AI assistants. If I knew before I would buy something that works with Alexa and/or Google

Handy Smart Garage Control

Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This is actually the second MyQ Smart Garage Control that I've purchased. It popped up on sale for a price cheaper than getting the door sensor on its own. My parents have 2 garage doors with older openers that don't have MyQ functionality. By adding these control units to each of them, they can open/close the garage door from their MyQ app or, more importantly, set a schedule like 'Close the door at 10pm each night'. You just need to make sure you have strong internet signal to your garage.
Technically, you can have 1 base unit (the one with the LED light array in the middle) and up to two door sensors (smaller device), but again, the sale for the package was cheap enough I didn't even bother trying to track down just the door sensor.
I had a little trouble setting up the first MyQ Smart Garage Control where I just needed to start the process over again because I missed 1 step. But the second MyQ Smart Garage Control setup process went just fine.

Great for opening when away and on my motorcycle

Love being able to open my garage with the app. It's much easier than giving the family different remotes. Plus whenever my brother in-law needs to come over, I can just let him in when I'm not at home.
It's also nice to use when I'm on my motorcycle and being able to open before I pull up.

Excellent piece of gear and excellent value. I was looking to replace my remote keypad outside and the MyQ door opener was the same price with way more functionality. Easy to set up, works flawlessly. I wish it had a few more users though. 6 is not enough for us.
