Customer Ratings & Reviews

Don't have much smart devices in home but this one has saved us on a few occasions already by notifying us the g-door was left open and also when the kids forgot their keys and were locked out. Easy to open and close door remotely from phone/app.

Makes your garage good opener a smart opener. I can use my iPhone to open or close the door from anywhere. It’s compatible with Amazon Key but I don’t use it. Only drawback is that it isn’t Alexa compatible yet.

I have been very happy with the receiver. I have not added a sonos to it yet but plan to in the future. The sound is amazing through my built in surround sound speakers. It is nice having the second channel for other areas of my home.

I drive a convertible and no longer have to worry about someone taking my remote when the car is parked with the top down which would compromise my security and safety. Just be sure to view the installation videos available online and you will have no trouble installing unit.

I liked it, but for some reason, it was difficult to pair. Also, for some reason, it conflicted with our keypad controller so we aren't really using it.

Spent an hour with tech support restarting my modem, reconnecting to WiFi etc. when I mentioned my Nest camera. I unplugged the camera and installation was quick and uneventful.

The install on this device was pretty straight forward, and the application is very practical, however it didn't work on my garage door. Pretty much anything over 15 years old will not work.

It worked as it has been described. But it's hard to reset to normal when it failed to complete a command such as when there is an obstruction on the door. The door sensor can not determine door status anymore.

Would not buy again. It does not work on schedule I ended up using it just to remotely determine if the door is open

Its a garage door opener with your phone as the controller. I bought it because it said it works with Google assistant but they dont tell you there is a charge and it only lets you close the door or ask if it's opened or closed. I bought it to be able to tell Google to open my door when pulling up to the house but cant do that, so you have to open the MyQ app to open it. You could buy a universal garage door opener for a cheaper price. One positive is that it does notify me if the door has been open when I'm not home.

In the growing Smart Home market we are seeing with each month more major products that start from a “smart first” perspective—meaning specifically, primary devices that are intended to do some basic function (wash your clothes, vacuum your house, etc.), and also have smart capabilities to go along with them. For instance, think about the Philips Hue line of light bulbs, which are lights first before anything else, and they also happen to connect to your wireless network for something better. In contrast, some manufacturers are releasing adapter kits for standard light sockets that allow you to take a “dumb” light bulb and make it a smart one. Among the Smart Home manufacturers is Chamberlain, which has a series of smart-first products around garage door openers and light switches; these items are intended to fully replace your existing non-smart-first devices. I’ve been considering replacing our garage door opener with a smart-first garage door opener for some time, and amidst moving and some other craziness in our lives, thought it best to wait. That said, I had opportunity to test out Chamberlain’s myQ Smart Garage Hub, a non-smart-first device that alleges to convert a standard garage door opener to a smart garage door opener with some fairly basic installation steps and configuration. The unboxing was friendly and intuitive, and upon opening, all parts to this adapter were immediately visible; this includes the wi-fi hub, door sensor and installation hardware. The quick start guide was concise and easy to follow, although iOS users will need to refer to the special instruction insert that is not a part of the quick start guide in order to fully configure the Wi-Fi hub. Mounting the door sensor to the top door panel was straight forward and could be done either with included adhesive strips, or with two screws (which were also included). Next came configuring the wi-fi hub, which was not nearly as straight forward as I had hoped it would be. It was after 3 attempts following the quick start guide that I looked for additional instructions in the packaging (the aforementioned iOS device insert), which involved leaving the myQ app and connecting wirelessly to the hub; this step was not much different from connecting to a temporary wireless network when configuring a new router. After completing, the app worked as advertised and the installation continued with the mounting of the wi-fi hub. I found the wi-fi hub’s range to be surprisingly large, as during configuration it was 30+ feet from the door sensor and still worked. There is no physical connection between the hub and your opener, nor is there a physical connection between the hub and your home router. With that in mind, it makes sense there should be some range—and most users should not find themselves limited by the approximately 3’ power cord that comes with the device (although extension cords work just fine, if required). I happened to have a small section of 2x4 mounted to my garage ceiling which made an ideal home for the hub; in theory, any downward-facing surface available to you in your garage (a joist, a metal bracket, etc.) would also work for secure mounting. After physical installation, the final configuration of the hub was completed by pairing the device to my particular opener, which was a fairly straight forward process. Fortunately I just bought a new house and was familiar with the location of my opener’s “program” button, but if in doubt check your particular manufacturer’s instruction manual, likely on line. It’s worth noting that Chamberlain claims compatibility with most openers since 1993, but be sure to check their website before you make a purchase decision. Also worth noting, the programming of the myQ wi-fi hub seemed to wipe the programming from my existing opener, but reprogramming that was straight forward as well. As far as the actual operation of the thing is concerned, it has done a fine job on all fronts. The app gives you a clear indication of how long your garage door has been open or closed. It also has configurable push notifications that will inform you when your garage is opened or closed, and can be further customized to alert you when certain time thresholds of “openness” and “closedness” are reached. You can also setup close schedules, allowing you to automatically close your garage door based upon some predefined calendar. And of course, the most basic of features, after you program your hub to be able to open and close your garage door (and not just monitor its status), you can do so easily with your smart phone from anywhere in the world. The product has a couple of downsides as well. For starters, I would love to see some integrated location-based activities that will automatically open your garage door when you reach a certain set of coordinates, so that when you pull in your driveway your garage door is already open. Second, when closing your garage using your smart phone, the wi-fi hub emits a surprisingly loud series of beeps, undoubtedly for safety reasons. Still, it would be nice to be able to suspend this beeping, or at least suspend it when you are within wi-fi range of your home network. The app itself looks a bit outdated, and it lacks iOS widgets that would make opening and closing your garage door easiest without having to dive too deep into an app. Also, strangely, this product is not (yet) compatible with Amazon Alexa or Apple HomeKit, which is frustrating and not entirely unexpected. According to Chamberlain’s website, HomeKit compatibility can be added by purchasing the myQ Home Bridge. In total, installation required about 45 minutes of my time, and that included some troubleshooting and “wheel-spinning” as well. The operation is simple and straight forward, and for only $100 my old garage door opener is now among my Smart Home devices. As indicated, there are a handful of annoyances and “under-developed” features, but I wouldn’t consider any of those to be deal breakers with this purchase. The myQ Smart Garage Hub does what it’s supposed to do, is relatively easy to configure, and doesn’t break the bank—and as far as Smart Home adapters are concerned, it’s an easy purchase to justify.

Did not install it yet but looks sturdy. For the price it seems to be an attractive option compared other products in the market. Hope it will work as advertised. Will update the review once installed to give more thorough input.

Installing was very simple and programming was easy. We've had the MyQ for a month now and we haven't had any problems. One negative for me is that you can only add 3 other people to the programming and we have several people that could benefit from having the bluetooth capabilities.

PROS: Easy setup. Works perfectly as described CONS: Poor Google Home Integration Takes a little while before opening/closing Cannot control with my other smart devices

I love having peace of mind I can check to make sure my garage is closed. I also integrate it with my security system to verify it’s closed when I arm the house. Loses 1 star due to fee for IFTTT annual fee integration. Not horrible though.

I love this garage opener. It uses an app too if you need to open using your phone or watch. Also works with ring and Amazon.it did unsync after 8 months though.

I originally had a garage hub through CPI and was paying $5 a month for it and it stopped working. So I decided to buy one for a one-time fee and can’t believe I was so stupid three years ago! It fit right in with the same mounting bracket and works flawlessly.

If your main use for this device is to inform you if the garage door was closed or left open. This is a perfect device. However any other features on the unit may require a paid subscription fee to use them.

Took sometime to sync with my existing garage door. Follow the instructions strictly, locating the devices up-side down or incorrect location may not sync up and kills your time

This is must have for every home owners. I had some issues garage door reopening few minutes after its closed. I noticed garage being open after coming back from the long trip. This will remind you if your garage is being open or close and for how long.
