The Smart Garage Control is simple to install and allows you to link your existing garage door opener to the myQ App so you can control, secure and monitor the garage from your smartphone. Featuring a compact modern design, Smart Garage Control is compatible with all major brands of garage door openers manufactured after 1993 that have standard safety sensors. It’s sleek white finish blends in with ceilings, walls and garage doors, making it an aesthetic complement to any garage environment.

Never worry if the garage is closed at night by setting a close schedule
1. Works with most brands of garage door openers manufactured after 1993 that use photoelectric sensors that do not shut off. It is not intended for use with openers in which the photoelectric sensors located near the bottom of the garage door change power mode (e.g., lights on the sensors turn off after the door is closed), or any Chamberlain Group opener with a yellow learn button manufactured between 2010 and 2021, or any Linear opener.
System Requirements: a router with 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi frequency, router with 802.11 B/G/N, a router within 50 feet of the Smart Garage Control (more details in PDF user manual). Must have a sectional garage door. Product certified for use in US only. Bluetooth makes setup easier than ever.
Control a second door with additional sensor (sold separately on this page).
Customers say
Customers find the garage hub works great and is easy to install with clear instructions, allowing them to open and close their garage door from anywhere. They appreciate the real-time door status monitoring and notifications when it’s opened. While some consider it a worthwhile investment, others find it not worth the money. The device has connectivity issues, particularly with Alexa integration, and experiences with the app are mixed, with some finding it user-friendly while others report it being glitchy.

Life-changing garage upgrade – wish I’d bought this sooner!
This little device has completely transformed how I interact with my garage door, and I can’t believe I waited so long to make this purchase. For less than $30, I turned my “dumb” garage door opener into a smart home centerpiece.Installation was a breeze:I was dreading a complicated setup, but the myQ app walks you through every single step with clear instructions and even helpful videos. From start to finish, it took me maybe 20 minutes – and I’m not particularly tech-savvy! The Bluetooth pairing happened instantly, and connecting to my WiFi was seamless.Works flawlessly with my older opener:I have a 2015 LiftMaster, and despite some compatibility concerns I read about, this worked perfectly right out of the box. The hub connected to my opener in about 30 seconds, and the door sensor was easy to mount.The peace of mind is incredible:No more lying in bed wondering “Did I close the garage?” or driving halfway to work and turning around to check. I get real-time notifications when the door opens or closes, and I can check the status anytime from anywhere. This feature alone makes it worth every penny.Remote control is fantastic:Being able to open the garage for deliveries, let in service people, or close it when I’m already upstairs is so convenient. The app is responsive and reliable – I’ve never had it fail to work when I needed it.Amazon Key integration is a bonus:I was skeptical about in-garage delivery, but it’s actually great for expensive packages. Amazon delivers right into my garage and sends me a photo confirmation. Feels much safer than leaving packages on the porch.Family sharing works perfectly:Added my spouse and kids to the app easily. Everyone can control and monitor the garage, which is especially useful when the teenagers forget to close it (which happens more than I’d like to admit!).Bottom line:This is one of those rare purchases that exceeds expectations. It’s affordable, easy to install, reliable, and genuinely useful every single day. If you’re on the fence about getting one, just do it – you won’t regret it!

Works well but here’s a way to make it work better…
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.

Works like a charm
Our garage opener supposedly has wifi connection built in but by the time I tried to connect it, Chamberlain had retired that version so it doesn’t work directly. Got this to see if it would work and it’s awesome. Easy to install, easy to connect to the opener and to wifi. You need the MyQ app (yeah, ANOTHER app you have to have) but it’s actually extremely reliable. I have an iPhone and have had no issues with connectivity or responsiveness with this device.I like it because I get notifications on my phone when the garage opens or closes for when I’m not home and I can monitor the family comings and goings to make sure the house is secure. I can also remotely open or close the garage from anywhere – whether I’m at home or away. I especially like that feature so that if I need to open the house for anyone or if we forgot to close the garage I can operate the door from wherever I am. It also gives me the status of the door (open or closed) at any time.Highly recommend as an actual “smart” and useful smart device.

It seems that the MyQ app has stopped integrating with their own product, the Smart Garage Hub. It wasnât even showing up in Device Management, so I couldnât add the device to the app. I wasted so much time troubleshooting this. One weekend, it didnât even allow me to register my new account, as their servers appeared to be down.Now that theyâve discontinued third-party integrations like HomeAssistant, Iâm not sure if anyone would still be interested in buying this, like I was. Unfortunately, their system is so buggy and convoluted.

Accesorio bastante útil para dar acceso al conductor de Amazon o ML cuando no hay quien reciba las entregas personalmente.A diferencia del modelo de color blanco, este dispositivo es compatible con los motores que traen botón de aprendizaje color amarillo. La instalación fue sencilla y no me llevó mas de 30 minutos. El instructivo dice que el modulo se instale alejado de cosas metálicas, sin embargo lo instalé en la misma estructura que sostiene al motor y funcionó sin problemas. Por otro lado, el sensor de posición lo atornille en el panel superior del portón y la instalación fue sencilla.Una vez que el usuario principal configura su perfil en la aplicación, se pueden agregar accesos adicionales en forma de copropietarios (pareja, hijos) o usuarios temporales.

It’s also great that I can grant access to family members or service providers without having to give out a physical key1. The only minor drawback is that it doesn’t support Amazon Alexa, but it works seamlessly with Google Assistant and other smart home systems.
