DON'T BUY THIS! MyQ Chamberlain Smart Garage Opener

[@mikemincey5998]

Why is this titled Do Not Buy This?

[@C-4-C]

How do you connect a second garage door? I'm guessing you need another sensor? Will you need another head unit bring thingy too? Or just another sensor?

[@bosparling6401]

Mine will start to open and stop after a couple inches

[@mixmonster18]

So I can 3D print a mount that will screw the garage door sensor to my garage door ? That would be cool. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="147">2:27</a>

[@DIYReid]

Yes. There are a few free ones out there.

[@mixmonster18]

@DIYReid cool. Cuz I'd rather not use double sided sticky tape

[@ravenglass1974]

Will the door open automatically when you pull up? Or is this just a fancier garage door fob

[@DIYReid]

Fancier fob. You wouldn’t want it to automatically open.

[@maggiroberts7420]

Does the transmitter have to remain plugged in for it to work? We do not have an outlet near it?

[@DIYReid]

Yes.

[@robcarver6319]

@@DIYReid Garage door is powered, so it must be plugged into something.

[@DIYReid]

Right. But the instructions state for it to be so far from the unit.

There's only one reason for me to use an app to open my garage door, and that is that the regular controller can be hacked and cloned. Well, it turns out that the MyQ Chamberlain is activated through a SmprtPhone App, but it opens the garage using a regular radio signal that can also be cloned. So, no use for me. There should be an option to hard-wire it.

Can multiple cell phones connect to my Q?

[@DIYReid]

Yes.

Thanks for watching!

So your take away is to not buy this? Can you recommend a better device?
