Product Description
The Simple Way to a Smarter Garage. Make your existing garage door opener smart in minutes with Smart Garage Control. 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.
Once paired with the myQ App, it offers more than the ability to simply open and close a garage door.
Homeowners with Smart Garage Control benefit from on-the-go management of daily activities, like never having to wonder if the garage door was left open, receiving real-time alerts when children arrive home from school, remotely letting in the dog walker or service person and now in-garage delivery to keep packages safe and secure.

Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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.

Performance:
The CHAMBERLAIN Smart Garage Control excels in providing remote access to your garage door via a smartphone app. The integration of both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ensures that you have reliable connectivity whether you're at home or on the go. The setup process is straightforward, and the device generally performs well, offering seamless control and monitoring of your garage door from anywhere.
Build Quality:
The build quality of the Smart Garage Control is commendable. The hub and sensor are well-constructed, with a design that feels durable and reliable. The device’s compact size makes it easy to install and position within your garage without taking up excessive space or interfering with other equipment.
Ease of Use:
The user experience is enhanced by the intuitive app interface, which allows for easy management of your garage door. Features like real-time status updates, remote control, and notifications are well-implemented, making it simple to operate and monitor your garage door. The Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity options add flexibility and convenience, ensuring that you can access your garage door regardless of your location.
Cons:
The primary issue with the CHAMBERLAIN Smart Garage Control is a noticeable delay during the closing procedure. While this delay is not usually significant, it can be somewhat inconvenient, especially if you’re accustomed to instant operation. This minor drawback is the reason for the 4-star rating, as it affects the overall efficiency of the system.
Pros:
Remote Access: Control your garage door from anywhere using the smartphone app.
Dual Connectivity: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth options ensure reliable operation.
Easy Installation: Compact and durable design that is straightforward to set up.
In summary, the CHAMBERLAIN Smart Garage Control is a highly functional and well-designed product that earns a 4 out of 5 stars. Its strong performance in remote control and monitoring, combined with its durable build and user-friendly interface, make it a great choice for enhancing your garage door's functionality. The delay during the closing procedure is a minor issue, but it doesn’t overshadow the overall effectiveness and convenience of this smart garage control system. So much so that I have bought and installed several.
Top reviews from other countries
It integrated easily with my Tesla and works great 98% of the time.
Once in a while there is a network connectivity error between my car, the cell network, my home wifi, and or the smart opener and I have manually open/close the garage door with the standard opener. But that is very rare.
The APP has an auto close feature, so if you forget to close the garage door and the setting is turned on, it will automatically close the garage door at the set time. This is a great feature.
And now Amazon supports this MyQ model for Amazon Key - in garage delivery. Just signed up and looking forward to receiving my first in-garage delivery.
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.
