Garage door remote add-on

[markstanco 12577]

Anybody done that with the garage doors that have a remote, but added on the standalone module with a phone app where you can open it remotely? From time to time I need to do this, and it would be good to have.

 

Just seeing if anybody owns it and if you like it.

Yes, I got the Chamberlain MyQ smart garage hub from Amazon and love it.  Very easy to set up.  Didn't need to mount it, just plugged it in to the wall plug and set it on a shelf.  Just need to make sure your opener works with it, but most modern ones do.  $37

[markstanco 12577]

Thanks. Ordered. For $38ish thats a no brainer.

I don't know why it wouldn't, but I take it your visor unit still works as well, yes?

[UT Football Fan 18]

yep, you just add it on as another remote and the others all still work.

Adding to the Chamberlain MyQ req's. I upgraded to it several year ago and it's great as you can now control from anywhere as well as check if the door is still open and get notifications each time the door is opened or closed.

I no longer have to worry if I remembered to close the garage door.

Add me to the list of fans. Had it for years and it’s great knowing when the kids got home (and making sure they closed the garage door behind them.

It came with my new opener (belt drive w battery backup), it’s so quiet, I wouldnt know the door was operating without the app alerts.

Has anyone ever put in one of the Chamberlain wall mount openers?  Are they any good?

yes.  very easy. 

even a caveman could do it.

(hell, even my wife changed the battery on one and didn't burn down the neighborhood or buy something off of Amazon because she was so stressed over the whole affair)

Just a note that it comes with one "door sensor" if you have multiple separate garage doors you just need another door sensor

Add me to the "I have a myQ and love it" list.

Thats pretty cool.  I ordered one to see how it was going to work, I thought I was going to have to order 5 more complete units!

apparently 2 is the most door sensors you can link to a hub before needing another hub... no clue other than $$ why limit would be so low

[markstanco 12577]

Installed. Took 10 minutes. Thanks!

Just ordered a MyQ on amazon for $17. 

[midtown 3345]

I bought one than later found out it wasn't compatible.   For sale for zero if you want to pay the shiipping.

Assume this was a prime deal I missed?

I'm looking at this: https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Garage-Opener-Chamberlain-MYQ-G0301/dp/B075H7Z5L8/ref=sr_1_1?crid=Y8CZ6RY7V2JB&dchild=1&keywords=chamberlain+my+queue+garage+door+hub&qid=1602778164&sprefix=chamberlain+my!%2Caps%2C322&sr=8-1

Yeah, it was a prime deal.

Had the myQ since April... had issues on and off with it as the batteries died in the door sensors... it will get "off" where says open when it's not or closed when its open...

Seeing as I assumed the way this thing worked the sensor would always know... apparently not.  There also is no battery low type indication/warning so I ordered a bunch of batteries of Amazon and set reminder to replace every 3 months (how long initial set worked)... hoping will solve issue in future
