Just works â much better than proprietary Chamberlain/myQ lock-in junk
Previously, we had a âCHAMBERLAIN Smart Garage Controlâ (myQ) garage door opener. It didn’t natively work with HomeKit (or Alexa or Google Assistant) without either an expensive extra “hub” (which they no longer even make) or a hack using some software called HomeBridge. Performance was always a bit erratic, depending on how their servers were doing. It also required you to buy a new battery for the stick-on door sensor about once a year and sometimes the sensor would be confused about whether the door was open or not. But it was good enough, until about six weeks ago when they decided to outlaw third-party access like HomeBridge, forcing their own crappy app as the only option.So, we decided to just give up on the Chamberlain/myQ controller we had and bought this one to replace itâas recommended in various articles.Installation is just a little more fiddly than the myQ device, because you need to run some wires, but on the positive side, everything about how it works is simpler. It just wires into the door opener rather than using a radio signal, and the sensor is wired too. No batteries to change. Got it installed in about half an hour.Integration with HomeKit is fine, and it seems to work well. Some advanced settings can only be set via their app, but daily use is fine via HomeKit. So far, about the only thing that could be improved is that it has an optional audio alert when you close the door, but there is no delay between the audio alert and the door starting to close, which makes the alert kinda pointless. But that’s not really a major deal for us. The big thing is that it’s happy to work locally via HomeKit, with no need to rely on some random flakey server out in the cloud.

Initial impression: VERY good!
At the of time of writing, my Smart Garage Door Opener arrived at 730am (thanks Amazon), I had it installed by 9am, & I’m writing this review at 912am. That alone should tell you how smoothly things went with getting this thing installed and setup to my Apple HomeKit. That said, here is an unbiased review.INSTALL: 9/10. This will be what most people would be concerned about, but I wouldn’t stress about it at all. Other than a little time, it was actually very easy to install. In the box was the main device, the power for it (USB block), and the loooong cable that is the sensor (to tell you if your garage is open or closed.) Beyond that, it came with a zip tie, a bunch of double side adhesives (for the sensor and unit), 4 screws (for the sensor), and the instructions (paper and in the app). With or without the instructions, it’s pretty obvious how this thing connects to your existing garage opener, and at one point I found myself lone-wolfing the install without instructions because I could tell what I needed to do just by looking at it. All I did was pre-setup my new opener in the house (to connect it to the wifi & Apple HomeKit), disconnected power to my existing garage opener, ran the sensor, connected the two terminal wires, and powered everything on. DONE! Install really was that simple. Though it came with 4 sensor screws, I ended up only using 2 because I found the sensor connected to the garage door itself stuck easier with the double side adhesives; plus the door itself was metal and the screws wouldn’t go in as easy as just using the adhesives.HOMEKIT CONNECTION: 10/10. I was very impressed how easy it was to setup this device to Apple HomeKit. Everything starts by downloading the manufacturers app and connecting your phone to the 2.4GHz wifi (the new opener won’t work on 5GHz, but it’s not a problem at all). The manufacturers app will walk you step-by-step through the setup. It will have you use your camera to scan the HomeKit QR (located on the device itself), you’ll have the chance to name your device, and it will even prompt you to enable automations to where it will open or close your garage automatically based on you arriving or leaving your home. That was a huge bonus that I didn’t know of, but I added them! HomeKit will setup the device’s wifi automatically, so you won’t have to worry about typing in passwords. Overall, the HomeKit setup was very seamless. (As a side note, I did NOT need to connect this device to a HomePod, AppleTV, or iPad. The instructions reference those devices, but setting up the new opener to the wifi completely bypassed needing any of those devices.)EASE OF USE: 9/10. The new system is very easy to use. I only had one time in the beginning that it didn’t open the garage after I requested it to, but I haven’t had that problem since. Plus, I can open my HomeKit app and simply tap my garage opener to open the garage if I’m already on my phone. I haven’t tested the arriving/leaving home automations yet, but I will definitely be putting it through the courses soon.PRICE VS VALUE: 10/10. At the time of writing, I bought this device on sale for $39.49. For the quick delivery by Amazon, the ease of install, and the ease of HomeKit setup & use, this is definitely worth the price paid and I would highly recommend it.LAST-MINUTE RECOMMENDATION: I recommend disabling notifications from the manufacturers app so you don’t receive double notifications (manufacturer and Apple) every time the garage is opened and closed. The HomeKit notifications are more than enough and you’ll likely be getting notifications from other devices in HomeKit anyways, so the manufacturers app is unnecessary after install. It’s up to you, though. You can choose to receive notifications from either one based on your preferences.Overall, I’m very impressed with this device. Time will tell how it holds up, but so far I’m optimistic that this will be a long-lasting addition to my smart house.

Apple HomeKit version, hands down
I purchased two of the Meross devices about a month ago. They were for my âalready smartâ MyQ garage door and my electric sling gate opener. The MyQ devices do not work with gate openers, without some serious modificationsâ¦and the sensor uses batteries. I also wanted one app platform for adding guest users when we have house sitters, dog sitters, etc. On top of that, the MyQ app crashes often and is unreliable, preventing me from using it when it doesnât see my device online. .I originally purchased the non-HomeKit version. What I didnât know was that the Meross app has no guest user access. Their website even addresses this and says âsharing is allowed by simply logging into the same account on all phonesâ. Since I did not want to give visitors my username and password, I returned that version immediately. I have an Apple TV, an iPhone, iPad, etc, so I did some poking around in the HomeKit app (which I never used before) and found that sharing was super simple. I have a very strong Wi-Fi mesh system that extends to my gate opener. The only slight issue I had was that the gate opener device would toggle between 60âish and 80âish percent Wi-Fi signal. When lower, it would state that the device may not be stable, which is what I was trying to avoid. So to fix this, I added a third mesh node inside the gate opener control box and connected it to my network. The Meross app showed 100 percent, of course, but the extender also showed 95 percent AND gave me a larger mesh area that gives me Wi-Fi out into my yard with a hidden network name.I installed the two devices in their respective locations and added them to the Meross app, while also scanning the QR codes into the HomeKit app. I already had magnetic reed switch sensors on both openers, from a previous system that gave open/ close notifications, so install was a breeze. Once installed and connected, I made the admin settings in the Meross app. Note, if using this for a gate opener set the opening time for 25 seconds. If this is not done, the Apple HomeKit app will show âobstructionâ on every open/ close of the device. After the Meross app settings were completed I opened the HomeKit app, added my wife as an admin user, just to test the sharing aspect. The app sent her a request and she was quickly in. She had access to all devices that were added to the app and could control the gate and garage. This method will allow us to pack up, head to the beach for the weekend and text the neighbor that weâve added them as guests to the HomeKit app. No more giving them the opener codes or a physical opener.The devices work perfectly and in this short time Iâve had zero issues. I look forward to their continued operation and I appreciate the ease of setup and app notifications for open/ close. I also like the ability to set my gate opener to close after one minute but not close my garage until a specific timeâ¦if I forget. Very good device and highly recommended.
