meross Smart Garage Door Opener Remote, Compatible with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, SmartThings, Multiple Notification Modes, No Hub Needed,White

Works great
Thing is fantastic. I’ve set it to close same time ever day. Can close or verify on my phone whenever I choose. Quick solid wifi connection. Mounted the sensor directly on the chain and the other on the opener to simplify installation. Took 15 minutes. Bought another one to give my son for Christmas.

Awesome value for the money.
Likes:+ Wonderful value, as other solutions cost MUCH more.+ HomeKit provides garage door status right on your apple utility screen, which is awesome if you are away or going to bed and worried about the door being closed.+ Easy Setup in Apple HomeKit by scanning a QR code+ Nice long cable for door closure sensor+ Is compatible with a ton of garage door openers.+ Don’t need to use the app to operate, if added to HomeKitDislikes:- Would be nice to have a long wire for the opener circuit- Door sensor is hard to place (at least for my door opener)- Would be nice if the module had some screw-down capabilityFirstly, this thing is just great and installing it was really easy. My wife especially likes being able to open/close the garage door from her Apple Watch and get status at a glance.I did have a minor installation issue, however, but it’s not really a fault of the product. My garage door is the type that has a wire rope running down each side with a spring-loaded torsion bar across the top. Initially, I tried to place the door closure sensor (magnetic) on the side of the door, but it just hit the cable when opening the door. I then tried to place it on the door next to the track, but the stationary (wired) part of the sensor just got run-over by the track wheels.Placing the sensor on TOP of the door, however, worked great. I was able to drill some pilot holes and use sheet metal screws to keep the moving portion fixed to the door while some wood screws affixed the stationary portion to the frame on the garage. Routing the cable up and over the torsion bar kept it safely out of the way from any moving parts. This is by far the easiest configuration for the sensor.As for the opener, I wanted to have it on the wall where it would be serviceable as opposed to overhead on the belt-driven opener, as the instructions suggest. To do this, I was able to use a light-gauge extension wire (twisted pair) and tap into the garage door opener button already mounted to the wall. Since it’s just a two-wire system and shorting the circuit opens/closes the door, it seems you can extend it 20′ or more without any issue. It would be nice if an extension wire were included, as this type of install seems nice.Regarding mounting the unit, it comes with double-sided tape but it would be nice to have some holes for wall-mounting, as I chose to do. It’s pretty lightweight, however, so even some screw-down zip-ties could do the job.All said, I love this thing and will update the review if anything goes wrong!

Great solution and simple to install
My two Craftsman vintage (translate: extremely old) garage door openers behave now like products of this century! The following comments are based on a two adjacent door installation.Pros:The configuration and bench test process is simple and fast. The app walks you through the process step by step and you can come back to where you stopped in case you didn’t finish.The app references an early video that offers some useful tips but it depends on your particular door configuration.As soon as I added this device in my Meross app, it quickly connected with Alexa and appeared there as well.Meross provides you with everything that a standard installation may require. The video says that one of the sensor cables was a bit short. Meross may have taken that feedback into account, as I didn’t find that to be the case. I actuall had to roll up and tie the excess length.Cons:Somewhere I read or heard about possible interference with the existing remotes. I seem to be expereincing that, as I now have to be closer to the garage door to activate the opener with its corresponding remote. I have enough spare wire left from the loops, so I will try repositioning the controller to see if that solves the issue.Some advice:While the prduct itself is designed with installation simplicity, positioning and fixing the magnets and the sensors can have its issues depnding on the configuration of the door. I figured that installing the magnet on the side of the door and the sensor on the frame next to it. That was very simple until I noticed that the magnet will end up getting inside the roller channel after the curve. Back to the drawing board!In my case, I found that the best place was to mount the magnet on top of the door and the sensor opposite to it on the wall. To ensure total clearance when the door opens, I placed the sensor about 2″ above the edge of the door and raised the magnet with a small block of wood. Perfect clearnce and no interferences.Meross recommends a maximum 1″ spacing between the magnet and the sensor to ensure correct operation. While the bench tests showed that ther was margin above that, I erred on the cautious side and provided a 1/4″ spacing between the magnet and the sensor. It works perfect.As of this writing, I have not yet tried the other built-in features such as a notification when the garage door has been left open for a certain amount of time and if there is a possible automatic action in such case. What we know is that we can now not just check the status of the doors when far away (we could do that with the cameras), but also be able to do someting about it.

Con esto controlo cuando abro la puerta y no importa si estás lejos de casa o cerca. De la mano de cámaras de CCTV le he abierto a la paquetería para pedirle que deje algo en casa sin necesidad de estar allí (puedo estar en otro país y solo les digo que me estoy bañando). Maravilloso, además te avisa cuando se abre o se cierra el portón

Función exactamente como lo esperaba.
