MyQ Smart Garage Hub - Wi-Fi enabled Garage Hub with Smartphone Control, Model MYQ-G0301, Old Version, Black

I wasn't sure why I needed this thing. It opens my garage door on my phone and what else? Oh, it allows Amazon to deliver packages indoors? Ok. Why not? That was pretty much my thought process. I got it for $23 on Treasure Truck, it only runs $29 at full price though. The packaging comes with a door sensor, a small installation kit and the main MyQ Door Hub. Instructions are all online via the App, but are easy enough to follow. Specifically, they will show you a short video and then step you through the process with illustrations. The door sensor is mounted with velcro mounts on the door. It was never specified what this sensor does or how it communicates with the hub, but it's easy enough to put it left or right of center on the top panel. It's battery powered so I'm sure this thing will be dead in at least a year's time. Then the main hub is plugged into the same plug as the garage door opener about 5 feet away from the opener. You run through some steps with the units Learn button (make sure your unit has this) and it connects it all together. My unit failed to "learn" with the door opener on it's first try. They said that would happen and I tried again and it worked fine. It did complain about low Wi-Fi signal but it was strong enough to connect. I imagine that will be a common complaint for customers. The last part had me link to my Amazon account to use the "Key" feature. The trouble is that I got the Captcha wrong and had to do something else. The App timed out and it left it partially installed. Meaning I had to run through the whole process (quickly) and it finally worked. I suggest paring with Amazon Key after making sure the main App works. I was able to pair with Key in about 1 minutes after I got away from the Captcha (it trusted me the second time around for some reason). I will try Key this week, which promises $10 off my first order which would bring this product down to $13. Google Assistant does not work, it complained about some premium subscription for $10 a year. It would have been nice if it worked for free. Alexa seems to suffer from this needless cash grab as well. There are workarounds online if you are so inclined, I'll just use the App directly instead. FInal thoughts, it's easy enough to install and the App is easy enough to setup. My main use will be the Amazon Key feature to secure my packages. One thing of note, my garage is detached and I have two cameras pointed at it. If an Amazon employee were to try anything, I'd be able to see it. However, if my garage was attached, I'd be very hesitant to use this. They do assure you that drivers are vetted and it's only good for one open and close, but still, I probably would not let somebody have access to my house, especially unmonitored. With a detached garage, basically they have only access to yard equipment. It's a neat little gadget that seems to work well enough. Leave yourself about 1 hour from start to finish for installation.

I stress about packages sitting on the doorstep, so I was really excited about Amazon Key where they deliver packages inside your garage with this Chamberlain garage door opener. I am so pleased with this convenience and no longer worry about packages. I have set this up in TWO houses in difference states, with different internet providers/equipment and totally different experiences. In the first house, it was very easy to set this up. I followed the instructions in the box to initially get started. It comes with two parts: a “hub” which is the brain of the thing that plugs in to an electrical outlet, and a sensor that sticks to the back of your garage door with provided Velcro sticky mounts. First you install the MyQ app on your phone, and the app provides you with step-by-step instructions. It’s really easy. It also asks if you want to “show me”(watch a short video for certain steps). You can skip the short videos if you want to, but I found them to be very helpful. The major steps are: (1) sync the hub to your phone (2) connect the hub to your wi-fi (3) stick the sensor onto the back of your garage door (4) test the connection between the garage door sensor and the hub and test that it opens the door. After everything tests out okay, they tell you how to mount the hub in a permanent place. It needs to be plugged into an outlet in your garage, within 50 feet of your wi-fi source (your router), and at least 6 feet off the floor. I mounted mine to the ceiling in the garage, plugged it into the same outlet where the garage door opener is plugged in. The whole setup was very easy. So far, Amazon has delivered 4 packages inside my garage—out of the rain and away from passers by. I do not usually have a need to open my garage door remotely, so I pretty much use this just for Amazon Key deliveries. But, have you ever left home and then wondered if you remembered to close the garage door? This gizmo will let you know if your door is open or shut. Relief. Some people complained that the MyQ app is not integrated with other apps like SmartThings. I don’t really care about that. This device cost $30, and it came with a coupon to get $30 off my first Amazon Key delivery (limit of one). I have two individual garage doors, and purchased a second sensor for the second door. The first garage door setup was basically free. How can you beat that?? I had such a good experience with house 1, that I decided to do the same set up in our vaation home, in a different state. TOTALLY OPPOSITE EXPERIENCE tried literally everything, but the Hub would not connect. I finally concluded that my brand of router/modem in the vacation home was not compatible. I spent many hours researching this on the internet and also on the phone with both MyQ and Chamberlain both. They were both very helpful, but NO LUCK it just would not work. The router we were using was TP Link AC1900 Archer 8, and the modem was Netgear CM600. One or the both of them just did not work with this MyQ devise. TWO YEARS later, we changed internet providers to Century Link--they provide their own router/modem so I am not longer using the TP Link/Netgear equipment. I decided to try the MyQ hub again and it was VERY EASY to connect with no issues with Century Link's Quantum Fiber equipment. We have two separate garage doors with two separate openers. I was able to connect both garage openers to the same hub, and order an extra sensor for the second garage door. I am VERY HAPPY to be able to use Amazon Key service in our vacation home now. I don't know why, but it currently costs the SAME regardless of whether you purchase a complete HUB WITH the sensor OR a second sensor alone. Even though I could use the original HUB for the second garage door, I ordered the complete hub/sensor set and am using only the sensor for the second garage door. I figure that I have a "free" backup HUB in case I have a problem with it later. I write honest reviews to help others make informed purchases. I do that because I read reviews myself and appreciate how helpful they can be. I hope my review helped you.

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.

Installed about a month ago, so far so good. No issues with connecting to the garage opener, had to switch to my IoT wireless network last week, was easy to change networks. The app works fine as it's very simple, like the logging of opening and closing ability. I was able to open for a courier last week so they could drop-off a package securely. I also have a camera in the garage, so I know what's happening and can see the delivery taking place. When the garage is closing, there's an audible beeping prior to the garage moving, good safety measure. All and all, I would recommend this product.

I was a bit reluctant to buy this, taking in consideration that I have an 20 year-old Craftsman 1/2 HP garage opener. I wasn't sure it would work. According to the specifications it should have, so I gave it a try. It was a breeze to install it. Following the app instructions, pairing took less than 30 seconds. The rest depends how fast you find the place to install it and screw some (4) screws :) I now have a smart garage opener, that I could easily open/close from anywhere via the MyQ app. Moreover I bought it on special so really worth the money. I highly recommend it. All the best

Excelente producto, volvió "smart" el portón de la cochera. Ahora podemos saber a distancia si el portón esta abierto, cerrado y cuánto tiempo lleva cerrado. La instalación y configuración fue muy sencilla, tomar en cuenta que si se configurara con un dispositivo iOS las instrucciones son diferentes (venia incluido el instructivo). Cuando el portón se cierra por medio de la app el hub acciona por unos segundos una alarma sonora y visual para advertir del cierre.

Compatible con motor Chamberlain PD220 del 2016 Mexicano tomen en cuenta que el sensor está diseñado para trabajar en portones tipo cortina de lo contrario tendran que realizar adaptaciónes para que funcione correctamente, contemplando el costo del control RF original es una exelente opcion para multiplicar los controles en usuarios o controlarlo a distancia.
