Here's a review for the Chamberlain MYQ-G0401 - Wireless Smart Garage Hub:Review:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I recently installed the Chamberlain MYQ-G0401 - Wireless Smart Garage Hub, and it has been a game-changer for my home security and convenience! The setup was incredibly easy, and the app is user-friendly, allowing me to control my garage door from anywhere with just my smartphone1.I love the real-time notifications and the ability to schedule the door to close automatically. 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.

Nice to have opener for garage. Having the app to control the door is very nice. Can confirm door is open or closed. Can open from anywhere if someone needs to drop something off. Use to let dogs out when I’m almost home and can open when I’m pulling up on my side by side and drive right in the garage.Say install as well. Highly recommended

CRUCIAL DIFFERENCE! After owning and using a G0301 (black version) for about 3 yrs, it became increasingly unreliable. Reconnecting the hub to the Internet became difficult, then impossible. The last few weeks of useless Google searches and troubleshooting got me nowhere, but it became pretty clear that the issues had something to do with WPA encryption settings. I spent several hours with MyQ Tech in three different sessions. Finally, after about 90 minutes of troubleshooting with the last person, she told me that my black G0301 Hub was hopelessly outdated.* Long story short, I replaced it with a newer white G0401 hub from Amazon (about $27). Here’s the thing: the new hub allows for WPA 3 security on your home wifi network. It also has updated Bluetooth. After months of pulling out my hair, the G0401 white hub connected instantly with ZERO trouble. Both garage doors work fine now, and the troublesome MyQ app on my Apple Watch (which seldom worked) is now working fine. Remember: you MUST have a 2.4 GHz wifi network and a good signal in your garage.* Sadly, there is an old PCWorld article out there that still comes up in a search which will MISINFORM you that the difference between the two versions of controllers (hubs) is basically just cosmetic. WRONG! I wish they would correct this, because it cost me countless hours of time and frustration!Time will tell about future reliability, but setup and connectivity issues with the old version are rampant all over the ‘net. It’s not because Chamberlain/ Liftmaster has bad equipment. It’s because encryption tech in wifi has evolved and I just needed a new hub. I only wish I had known this a year ago!

I wanted to add smart garage door control to complement my other smart home components but was skeptical this inexpensive unit could fill the bill, especially because it needed to work with my 1996 Genie Pro 95 IC (Intellicode) screw drive garage door opener. But it's because of it's low cost I decided to give it a try. Cut to the chase ... it works great! Surprisingly, consulting the Chamberlain compatability information before ordering indicated my garage door opener should meet the requirements. Following the installation video step by step was easy and straightforward and, within 45 minutes, the unit was working flawlessly. This is a godsend to me. I bought a split level home before becoming disabled which left walking and especially stairs an issue. I basically use my garage door as my front door and can allow friends and neighbors access into my home by keeping the remote next to my living room chair, alleviating the need to get up and go down a flight of stairs to open the front door. But, because I only have one remote, I can't count the number of times I got in my car to leave the house before realizing I left the remote in the house requiring a trip back up stairs for retrieval. Thus I've yet to delve into all the unit's capabilities because I bought it predominately to allow me to remotely check the open/close status for those moments when I wonder .. did I?, but more importantly, since I always carry my phone, enables me to open/close the door remotely from anywhere and never again have to make a trip to retrieve the remote. I've made few purchases where such a small expenditure has provided such convenience and peace-of-mind. One of my best purchases ever!

I experience problems with my remote and keypad when opening and closing my garage door. Instead of buying an expensive garage door opener I looked at purchasing the compatible wifi enabled garage door opener.Installation - It is very straight forward and easy to install! I have a three because I ran into difficulties with what we think was interference from another device. Moving it solved the problem. Tech support was excellent helping me solve this!I thoroughly enjoy the Chamberlin wifi connected opener. It is convenient to use as an app on my phone, it works well all of the time.Prior to the door closing there is a little alarm to notify anyone nearby it is about to close. Handy I’d you have children for sure.

Me costó mucho más barato que haber comprado un control del los normales de RF. Fue muy fácil de instalar en mi motor Lift Master 8500, aunque viene incluído un sensor para el portón no fue necesario ya que la app me detecta cuando el portón está abierto o cerrado sin tener el sensor pegado en el portón. Cómo no tengo un lugar donde colocar el hub sin que se moje o donde no esté a la intemperie lo coloque dentro de mi casa a una distancia del portón de unos 6 metros y me funcionó muy bien. Solo en ocasiones al querer cerrar el portón no responde, lo que tengo que hacer es cerrar y abrir de nuevo la app y responde correctamente.

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.
