5.0 out of 5 stars Super easy install, works ok
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2024
I don't know why I didn't do this sooner. One time I left the house for the weekend, must have bumped the button folding the visor back up. Got home 2 days later, still open. Luckily we're in a safe neighborhood, but still this is worth the piece of mind. I just hope they never go back to charging monthly for the app. I figure if they do, I'm not out that much. I'm thinking they won't because now amazon and walmart can use it to securely leave deliveries inside. You can set when your expecting deliveries so don't worry about random weirdos getting in.
Super easy install. Just download the app and follow step by step. The 5/32nds drill bit for the 2 long mounting screws was the most work...the rest is too cool for school. It worked 1st try and every try. It even still works with other openers no need to reprogram them as long as you don't hold down the learn button on the motor. They should tell you that before they tell you to press the button, but they just say press quickly. Only issue was registering the app using Google, kept getting error messages. I un-installed myq, reinstalled and from there it was a snap. There is a about a 10 second delay for it to go through the cloud to notify you your door was opened, but now no matter who opens it with any opener, I know, and I can close it from anywhere. Brilliant work Chamberlain. Thank you!
Update after 1 week, so it decides when it alerts me. I get notifications 20 to 30 minutes later sometimes. As long as they don't charge for the app....I'm not complaining. The app itself shows pretty much real time, just strange the notifications are delivered whenever....

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well but here's a way to make it work better...
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2019
Let me start by saying I was on the fence for months as to whether I should actually buy this Garage Door opener from MyQ. The reviews on Amazon were very mixed and I wasn't too pleased that once I bought into this product, I would probably have to spend more. I will talk about that in a moment.

I actually decided to make a purchase during Prime Day when the cost of this item sold for about $20 less than it regularly does. It seemed like an absolute bargain at that point.

The installation was very simple. The mounting was a bit of a nightmare only because MyQ didn't fully explain that process in their directions.

The installation process is a breeze, thanks to the mobile app which does an excellent job of walking you through the process, complete with videos that make a novice like me an expert. You basically use the app to pair the base unit and the sensor. The sensor comes with two-sided tape and gets placed on the inside of your garage door.

The problem I ran into was the screws. MyQ provides you with 2 different sized sets of screws. They don't tell you that if you use the anchors, you must use the shorter screws. I used the longer ones. Now, I am sure most of you who are more handymen than I am probably could have figured that out on your own, but for someone not as mechanically inclined, it would have been nice for MyQ to give a better explanation of screw usage in their instruction manual. Once I undid the initial mistake, I was able to successfully mount the MyQ to my garage ceiling beam.

One other note to make here: The mounting bracket is also a bit of a problem. You have to go through two sets of holes to drill in your screw. It's a little cumbersome. I wish the bracket was designed a little better to make it easier. I am guessing this was the best MyQ could do. All in all, I am not taking any stars away in this review for the clunky install and bracket. I am guessing most of you who are more handymen orientated won't have an issue.

So, once installed, the garage opened and closed as expected using the remote. No issues there.

The real nice surprise here was that, for the moment, MyQ is no longer charging people $10 a year to integrate MyQ with Google (and I think) Alexa. Previously, there was a subscription charge. That caused a huge amount of backlash from customers. I even swore I would not buy this product if a subscription was mandated. Well, for now, that subscription has been put on hold. You can get free integration for your smart device. Be aware that for the moment MyQ is saying this could be only temporary.

Voice integration with Google Home Hub is not as fluent as you would hope. You can't just say, "Hey Google, is my Garage Door open?" of "Hey Google, close my garage door." You have to say, "Hey Google, ask MyQ if my Garage Door is Open." I am not exactly happy about that extra step.

Also, do realize that there are extra security measures put in place that prevent homeowners from giving smart devices opening commands. You can't say, "Hey Google (or Alexa) open my Garage Door." The reason behind this is so burglars can't yell that command from outside your home in hopes of your smart device picking it up.

HOWEVER....HOWEVER...HOWEVER...

There is a new, free software workaround that allows you to open and close your garage door through Alexa (and probably Google) commands. You don't need to buy the $15 kit. If you want more information you can reply to me in the comments.

One other thing I need to mention here. If you want iOS/Homekit support you need to buy the additional $90 MyQ bridge. I found that aspect to be unfortunate as that add-on is severely overpriced. I will end up purchasing it just so that I can open and close my garage door using the new iOS 13 Carplay functionality which puts Homekit on your navigation screen. It would be great, as I arrive home to say, "Hey Siri, open my garage door."

So, bottom line: The MyQ garage door opener works great out of the box. Some of its smart home command functionality is limited, but there are workarounds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2024
I have purchased several of these for installation on different homes. The installation is quite easy and takes very little time. I was concerned about whether I could install multiple controllers using the same application. When done, I will have installed three controllers onto three different wifi systems in three different locations. Of which, one location is roughly 1200 miles from where I spend the majority of my time. I have no problem opening and closing the garage door from that distance. And, whenever someone uses the garage door in any of the locations, I am notified of the opening and closing. I am a Prime member but have not as yet used the in garage delivery by Amazon. I look forward to utilizing the service and will update my review when I do.

My only disappointment was customer support and even the user community response; I put the question out there about the use of different wifi systems with different controllers using the same application. Maybe, I didn't phrase my questions properly. But, I did not receive an informative or complete response. The customer support response was that it will use two controllers on the same system. And, I received a second response of "What's the issue?" Finally, I just tried adding the controllers and it worked fine without issue.

I do recommend this product. It works well, is easily installed and reasonably priced.
