I have a Chamberlain/LiftMaster myQ garage door (not by choice, it came with my place). For those of you who are unaware, in late 2023, Chamberlain myQ took the vehemently anti-consumer measure of disabling support for the Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and their Home Assistant API (which in-turn broke Apple HomeKit support too) for their products. Why? To force their customers to use the myQ app to open/close their garage door instead of using Google Home, Amazon Alexa, or Apple Home/Siri. The myQ app has ads, so they make more money that way. Chamberlain myQ wants to force you to view ads. I refuse to be forced to view ads. I refuse to use a garbage app (seriously, the myQ app is horrible, so much latency and delay in commands). Unfortunately, buying a new garage door wasn't an option because I don't own the property, I rent it. After doing some digging online, I came across this device. Much cheaper than buying a new garage door too. I bought it, and I also contacted Meross Support to get the special adapter required for Chamberlain/LiftMaster myQ garage doors (they sent the adapter for free btw). I received the device within 2 days via Prime shipping and the adapter came 3 days later. I highly recommend installing the Meross app on your phone before starting installation. The installation instructions in the app are much better than the paper instructions that come in the box as the app instructions has pictures to follow along with. The adapter installation was extremely easy, it's basically just programming an additional garage door remote that stays connected to the device. With the simple app instructions, it took less than 30 minutes to install from start-to-finish and it could be quicker than that if you have a smaller garage (my garage has high ceilings, so I had to pull out my ladder to install the sensors). The device is perfect. It quickly connects to WiFi and has near zero latency upon command. It works with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Home Assistant and it also works with Apple HomeKit without needing the Home Assistant API as it comes with an Apple HomeKit sticker on the device itself (as an Apple Home user, I am very pleased with this). Thank you Meross for saving us from myQ.

When we purchased our new home I wanted a smart garage door and got a MyQ belt drive unit. Apparently I didn’t research enough because it didn’t work with HomeKit without an expensive adapter. I soon set up a Raspberry Pi with Home Assistant and that helped connect and control the opener with HomeKit. Then late 2023 MyQ decided to block other integrations and it broke again. I did my research now and picked up the HomeKit version of this unit that can control 3 doors as I have. 3 car garage with 2 doors. The opener is a chamberlain with the yellow button so you can’t wire it to the main unit. So after I ordered I went to meross site and filled out the form for 2 adapters and I had those within a week. It basically a compatible remote opener with the wires soldered to the remote buttons to trigger the opener. You clip that to the wires they have for triggering the door. It needs its own door position sensors so it knows if the door is open or closed. They are fairly easy to set up, but the length of the cables may dictate where you locate the controller box. Usually a garage may have issues with your WiFi connection depending on location of your router. I don’t have that issue as I have an eero system and hardwired Ethernet into my garage at placed a WiFi node in there. I have it in a box for dust protection and placed to meross controller in the box too. So in the end this unit works better and faster than the Home Assistant setup (which is broken for good now) and I now get all the benefits of HomeKit integration. We get notices when the door opens and closes and I have the garage lights come on with open and turn off after 10 minutes of being closed. The door open function shows on CarPlay and I can ask Siri to open and close. Exactly what I want. I wired up the sensors for the second opener even though I won’t install that until this spring, but it tells me if the second door is open or closed now too. A great add to a MyQ system that should have included this functionality to begin with but wanted to be unfriendly to consumers.

I installed this on a Craftsman garage door opener that was a 2007 vintage with a purple learn button. It worked immediately with no additional parts required. It took approximately 1 hour to install including getting the Meross app to recognize the device on my Wi-Fi network which is an Eero 6 mesh system. Alexa detected the system immediately. What I learned: 1. I have a system that handles 3 doors even though I have only a single door. I inactivated doors 2 and 3 in the Meross app but still got messages that those doors were open. Had to shut off notifications for those as well. 2. Initially, I received messages that my door was opening and closing, but that was a real pain, so I disabled those as well. I only receive a message if the door is open for more than 30 minutes or after 8:30 at night. 3. Also, I was receiving messages from Merros and Apple since both were aware of the door status. I disabled the messages from Apple. 4. While within range of my home Wi-Fi system, Apple and Siri will respond to commands to open or close the door. That’s fine, but I wanted the ability to open the door remotely from Apple Car Play while outside the range of my Wi-Fi. That’s when I leaned that in order to do that you need an Apple Home mini device to interface between the unit and the internet. I am an Amazon Echo user so this additional requirement was a bit of a surprise. I found a unit on EBay, which hasn’t arrived yet. So we’ll see how that works. Overall a good product and easy to install. No inadvertent opening yet and it’s been about a week since installation. Follow up Received my Apple Home Pod mini and configured it with no problems. The Home Pod now appears on my Apple Home app. I began the process of configuring my wife’s iPhone and that’s when the problems occurred. I was the owner of the Home Pod and had to invite her to use it to control the garage door from her phone. I sent the invitation but she never received it which is a common problem with Home Pods. After much research so happened upon a post that said you have to change the default name of your home environment in order to get the invitation to go through. I changed the default ‘My Home’ to ‘Our Home’ and it worked!!!! Next hurdle was getting it to work with CarPlay. First time I tried, I got a message indicating that the phone must be awake to open the door which kind of defeats the purpose of using CarPlay. After more research I found that this is a security feature that prevents a random stranger from stealing your phone and opening your door. You must also use face recognition to have it work. I also found that if you have an Apple Watch and have it set to wake your phone when to move your wrist, the phone will wake and the door will open with CarPlay. Having known this all from the start, I probably would have made a different choice. A lot of hurdles and research to open the garage door.

It's not worth the hassle of trying to set this product up. 80% of the time it shows up in the Home app as "updating" or "unresponsive". The install was not easy, as it requires hardwiring into the same port on the garage door opener as your wall mount control, and then getting the sensors to stay in place is also tricky. The "troubleshooting" tips are all over the place and are "workarounds" not actually ways to fix the problem.

I recently purchased the Meross MSG200 after being impressed by numerous YouTube reviews. However, upon receiving the device and following the instructions, I encountered an issue - it wouldn't operate my garage door. I visited the company website and discovered that an adapter was required for certain garage door companies, including mine. I selected my company and promptly received the adapter. To my delight, setting it up took less than 3 minutes, and I was able to get my garage door working seamlessly. Despite the initial hiccup, I'm thrilled with the final result and appreciate the company's efforts to ensure compatibility.

After many hours of fiddling to try to get MyQ integrated into my smart home setup, I finally gave up and ordered the Meross MSG200HK. It was easy to install on my 20 year old Chamberlain garage door openers (2 garage doors—one double + one single). It works perfectly. Existing wall controls work just as they always have but now I can ask Siri “did I leave the garage door open?” and she will say “both the large and small garage doors are closed”. I can open and close either door from my car, phone, Apple Watch, or voice control via a HomePod. Works with my automatons as well. For example, I set up an automation that responds to “Hey Siri, Secure the Homestead” by making sure all outside lights are off, garage doors are closed and all entry doors are locked. Thank you Meross. I’m so glad to be rid of the useless MyQ system and its closed API/poor integration.

I got this because the MyQ idiots killed the API that I was using to add my garage doors to HomeKit using Homebridge. I realized once I got it that it wasn't compatible with my system, something security related. I reached out to their support and they mailed me the stuff I needed for free, and they showed up fast and worked perfectly! Once I got it set up (which was pretty easy) it works great, I've been super happy with it, it works way better than the MyQ setup ever did.

We were away on vacation when our old garage keypad stopped working. I decided we needed a backup plan, so I bought this. The installation was a little tedious just because I wanted to route the wires cleanly, but it was very easy. I was able to add the device to both Apple and Google Home and can control it from either or the Meross app itself. My favorite part is to use voice to ask to open and close the door when I go for a walk. My wife likes being able to check if she remembered to close the door after she left. I had one minor problem where it was showing an obstruction, but it was just adjusting the delay on the opening and closing.

Having left my garage door open overnight a couple times, I decided to purchase this unit. The device is compact, easy to install and the instructions are easy to follow. Once installed, connecting the device to my WiFI was easy and it has the extra benefit of leveraging Alexa's capabilities for home automation. The hardest part of the installation (if you can say that) is running the sensor cable from the unit out to top of the door as you will need cable staples in order to make it look neat and organized.
