How to Setup MyQ Garage Door Opener (Step by Step) Install, Mount, WIFI Connect

[@vickymysore]

You never told us about the positioning of the hub and the sensor. In which part of the garage was the hub installed? Isn't that important to note? Don't they need to be positioned so they line up to sense each other? Not very helpful video.

[@jewilso08]

Bro. You are my new best friend for the day. You went straight to the point and easy setup. Thank you. Mines work perfectly.

[@CaesarCritiques]

Lol. Thanks

[@Shneepster]

It worked, and this video was helpful. As a tip, I went ahead and plugged it in before mounting it, and then set the the smaller device up on a step ladder and then paired it and tested it before going through the trouble of drilling and taping, etc. I wanted to make sure it all worked first. It did, and so far so good, so now I have more permanently mounted it per these guidelines.

How does the sensor know if the door is open or closed or half way or anything? How is the sensor calibration to what? It’s it any movement it registers and considers that a valid open or close command

Awesome tutorial! Right to the point. No waiting on each screen!

Thanks 🙏🏻

Two suggestions/corrections: 1) make sure you have a good Wi-Fi signal at that location before installing the mount; 2) use the long screws into the drywall anchors - the short screws are for mounting the door sensor to the garage door and are too short to expand the anchor behind the drywall to secure it.

[@Reidg1993]

The door sensor mounts with included velcro strips, not with either of the included screws.

I just installed mine recently. I wish the programming was as easy as the demo here! It took me over 3 hours from unboxing to operation! Lots of glitches encountered. Had to find phone # to Chamberlain and call tech support because my app kept rejecting my wifi password! He had me do a back door setup to get the password to work. He admitted there must be a bug in the app preventing me from entering my wifi password! THEN, try to pair the opener to the hub! OMG! Almost gave up because the app kept saying my machine was not compatible and I could only use it to find out if my door was opened or closed! Not having that! My Genie has a program button, but it's black. The LED indicator lights are buried deep inside the machine, so nothing like the instructions say. + the button has to be HELD down for over 2 seconds! NOT a doorbell press. AND, I had to have a hand held car remote on top of that! Had to go through setup over and over and over again until, like an hour later...Finally paired! Now, it sorta works, the the built-in LED light does NOT flash when I hit close on the app! What a mess! So, beware, it is a bear.

[@swiftuiforever]

Sounds like user error to me. Maybe you need a new house.

If you have dedicated garage door openers. Do they have to be reprogrammed at the same time you are programming the app? Or do they remain unaffected?

[@CaesarCritiques]

They remain unaffected if you program the myG right

[@CTTH100]

Unaffected unless you hold the program button on the opener too long, which could wipe out all devices.

[@glwilkins]

the short screws are for the sensor and the long screws are for drywall.

[@stephanarizona9094]

You can also link to Ring with that setup and control and monitor with your Ring App

[@GallacherKelly-o6e]

Lopez Gary Williams Barbara Walker Angela

[@sleepwalkerZZZ]

Can it be set up with Google Assistant/Google Home where I don't have to open the app but instead say, "Hey Google, Open the garage door". Or, "Hey Google, close the garage door".

[@jamesbrandau3712]

Great walk through.. All life should be this easy! Thanks!

[@CaesarCritiques]

Thanks James.

[@sleepwalkerZZZ]

I'm feeling like it is working via Bluetooth so, although I can know if the garage door was left open when I'm away from home, I'm thinking I cannot close it if I am away. Is that correct?

[@ridiculous9730]

Best part of this, is DING DONG!

[@CaesarCritiques]

Haha thanks

[@sondon7103]

like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, kzbin.infoUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....

[@fdimichele]

Mine failed at the final step over and over and over......Chamberlain B550 ironically can directly connect to Wi-Fi but that don't work either. I can directly connect to motor unit Wi-Fi with good signal from my cellphone. I think the Wi-Fi radio is suspect on the motor unit, so I did modify both antenna and make them longer. One was really short for some reason from the factory apparently, because the installer wouldn't cut it, so that is well stupid but Chamberlain is mega corporation at this point and that happens.

[@richo8767]

My app (MyQ) keeps asking me to press the learn button and wait for a beep. The beep never happens and connection fails. You must be using an older version of the app. Installation is different now.

[@kgoodman16]

How frequently have you had to change out batteries? Thanks

[@jfeezy672]

can the hub be placed anywhere in the garage? the app/quick start looks to be right above the garage motor

[@DobbinZachary-m3r]

Anderson Anna Garcia Deborah Harris Jennifer

[@MrAnwazi007]

So when you pair the myQ to garage opener, my homelink and remote we used prior to myQ, stopped working. Anyone else run into this? Is there a solution?

[@scabberdoug]

Question: Looked at the manual and it is unclear, do the buttons on the front of the Hub marked for Door 1 and Door 2 function as an opener?

[@sleepwalkerZZZ]

After it is installed, how are other family members able to open and close the door with their phones?

[@Da-King-of-Swing]

Can you still use the remote openers that come with garage opener after you pair and set up the hub?

[@briannguyen9001]

Does this work with Lift master made by Chamberlain ?

[@petrucioci07]

So amazon drivers can gonin my garage? I have expensive tools in my garage. No way.

[@fatnlazychinc]

Why can’t they make a device that doesn’t require a drill? I don’t know how to drill a hole on the wall

[@bosparling6401]

Mine will start to open maybe a couple inches and stop. Same with trying to close the door

[@donaldnorth3714]

Great video! I like how you explained things in a manner where an “all thumbs” kinda guy like me could understand! Thank you!

[@CaesarCritiques]

You’re welcome. Thanks for commenting

[@lizbetheddy7268]

Mine is craftman and doesn't have any bottom to push 😢 where can I look to pair it?

[@joeemm3020]

Very concise and to the point, like VB said. I hear Chamberlain is hiring for video tutor stars. Just saying!

[@CaesarCritiques]

Lol. Thanks

[@ricoloperena6560]

😊

[@Fritzenburg]

Perfect thank you for your time. Your directions are straight to the point.

[@CaesarCritiques]

Thanks 🙏🏻 I appreciate the feedback

[@king.freddy]

Do you really need to mount the hub? Is it necessary?

[@robertj.harrington8327]

Hello, I have an international router and my garage is around 100 feet from my home. Will I be able to use this device? In the garage, there is no internet signal. Or am I just being stupid and don't get how this works?

[@CaesarCritiques]

You need to have internet signal to use it

[@eduardoserrano5453]

What is the hub and the sensor for?

[@stclairthomas3836]

I thought you had to register the sensor and the hub by scanning the barcode or enter manually? I had to do with mines..

[@CaesarCritiques]

I didn’t have to do that

[@84Parker84]

I have 2 doors. Can the app support 2?

[@babieabe3083]

Do the photo sensors have to be working for this to work?

[@mikecooper9507]

Does the hub have to be in the garage?

[@jaymedina3142]

Ding dong. Ding dong. Hillarious.

[@CaesarCritiques]

Haha

[@FoodHuntress00]

Can I connect this to Google home app?

[@bikerworld2471]

I haven't seen this anywhere. Perhaps you can help. Can you setup and operate the garage door without a myq sensor? I want to use myq hub with a ramset gate opener that closes automatically after 10 seconds and works with a typical multicode control.

[@LanceMcGrew]

Right at the last you mentioned LTE or 5G connection but I did not understand how this works with WiFi? Also does the app warn about when to change battery?

[@xTomWolfx]

Just installed mine (great instructions)... turns out the unit is pretty useless though. Doesn't allow Alexa integration... and pretty much just allows you to open and close the garage door using your phone instead of the remote on the visor in your car.... sooooo... a lot of work, just to be able to do what you can do with the remote. As far as "Well, it tells you if the door is open or not"... I have a camera in the garage that tells me that. Heard Simple Command would allow you to control your garage with Alexa... but they went out of business and are no more. So, great instructions... was easy to install... just a completely usless device.

[@Mr.C.Cloud9]

Can I pair a Ryobi?

[@chadpennington4594]

Interesting, I just put a chamberlain in last night. It says it is blue tooth and wifi, and tells me to download the MyQ, buuuuttt...I did not get that device you just installed. Now I need to read more!!!

[@lindakhan9040]

This is awesome! Thanks for the video, I'm going to buy one tomorrow.

[@CaesarCritiques]

I’m glad I was able to help you out Linda. Enjoy

[@stefanb974]

Pair with Alexa?

[@busyteacher2]

Does the sensor have to be on the right or left of the garage door? can it be in the middle?

[@CaesarCritiques]

It can be in the middle, right or left

[@DerekF242]

Was looking for this answer. Thanks!

[@RyanHipp]

If I have an older but still working garage motor without a learn button (old screw/wires/flipswitch code kind) - is there a wire i can hook to hub directly ?

[@manuelvillalpando6665]

Hmmm, interestingly enough, it's not the same steps to reconnect if you ever reprogram your garage door opener. At the 00:06:08 mark of your video, these steps vary if the device has been removed from the garage door opener's old program setting. I am going to see if it is possible to do a factory reset on the Q Hub, uninstall the app from the iPhone too, and treat this as if it was a brand new instalation. Let's see if this will allow me to reconnect successfully back onto my WiFi network. Thanks for your video, it's better than than what the Q Hub folks have up on their troubleshooting videos, LOL.

[@johnchedsey1306]

Been thinking about getting this but wasn't quite sure how it all worked. This looks super easy and now I think I'll go ahead with the purchase. Great tutorial!
