Perfect commentary and instructions to install this! You speak very clear and concise without having to talk too much and ramble on. Good job!

[@salvatoregrisaffi7607]

Extremely clear and helpful! I just bought one for my garage and getting ready to install. Thanks again!

[@hashtagjustadad5110]

As always, you do an amazing job at describing everything step by step with clear concise instructions. Fantastic job!!!!

[@RickRobinsonEverywhere]

You did a great job describing everything in plain and simple language. Very helpful.

[@GregTateHome]

As others has said, great job at giving a practical explanation/demo of the installation - well done!

[@manixpc]

One of the best product reviews I've ever seen. You touched on practically everything a potential buyer would want to know!

[@delinquense]

Except for the important ones like... What home integration software (Google Home, Home Assistant, android auto, etc.) can I use this with and what functionality will I have acces to.

[@TonyRo]

Thank you for the instructions! I just ordered mine! Great video. My wife and I kept forgetting if we had close the garage door or not. This will give us piece of mind!

[@billschwerha7669]

Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to make it. I watched your video prior to purchasing this device to get a feel for the amount of effort that would be required to setup/install the device and again after making the purchase. The install was straight away as you discuss/show. All told it took me less than 30 minutes to install the device and another 10-15 for the cosmetic portion of the install. Thanks for the video and the detailed explanation regarding the entire process. Great Job!!

[@dial2fast]

Excellent, thanks for sharing your experience.

[@ScottNeader]

I rely on KZbin 'how-to' videos for a lot of things and I have to say... this is the most well-done video out of any that I have ever watched. Bravo and thank you!

[@dial2fast]

Thank you for your wonderful comment!

[@Dawntouchm3]

Agree this video was great, it answered all of my questions, thank you for the content.

[@Carcar797-p1]

Excellent. Both video and description of the assembly process. Well done sir.

Thank you so much for explaining everything in a simple way. This was extremely helpful!! 👍🏽

[@MauroMBRocha]

Very good , you do an amazing job at describing everything step by step with clear concise instructions. Fantastic job!!!! 👍👍👍 the best !!!!!

[@awc825]

I wasn't sure where and how to install the sensors. Your video solved my issue. Very clear explanations by the way. Thanks

[@cloakofanonymity]

Great install video. I just ordered mine today and plan to install it tomorrow. Thank you for the video!!!

[@enielsondasilva4964]

I wasn't sure about this device. Just bought two because of your video! great job! keep it up!!!

[@mikeschmidt7145]

Great Job bud, very informative and easy to understand. The device is not exactly what I'm looking for but that doesn't take away from the great job you did.

[@allengalaxy]

Very smart of you to install the magnetic door sensor on the track instead of the door itself. Clean and nice looking installation. Thanks!

[@RickinICT]

The only downside is that if someone uses the manual disconnect and opens the door manually, you'll not get any notification because the opener trolley won't move, whereas if the sensor were on the door itself, you'd be notified any time the door was opened, whether with the opener, or manually.

[@DavidWeatherall]

Great video, brilliat to see not only the tech, but the actual physical install, thanks

[@stuartb3502]

Very clear thanks. I understood all of this before watching, but your tips on reed switch placement were very useful.

[@ngbdq]

Well done, thanks for the efforts for putting this out! I have Meross smart plugs and like them. I will get MSG100 for sure.

[@reginaldburns1386]

You are one of the best in explaining the operation of any device!!

[@dial2fast]

Thanks for your comment!

[@BitterSweetDiva]

Thank you for taking time to review on Amazon and add this installation video... very helpful.

[@Kshanikam]

This was very helpful , my friend . The detailed explanation helped a lot . Thanks

[@spetersonmusic]

*Exactly* what I've been looking for. Thanks!

[@arunmathew6695]

Crystal clear and detailed instructional video. Thank you very much.

[@LasVegasNash]

Excellent video with very clear instructions. Thank you for making it. This video made me comfortable to buy the Meross MSG100.

[@dial2fast]

Thanks for your comment!

[@butt.]

Thank you dial2fast! very cool! They actually made installation a bit easier now with the power adapter being USB to outlet (Like a cell phone charger)!

[@mi-ryongkim1583]

Thank you for the video. It was extremely helpful for installing my garage door opener.

[@presley7771]

THANK YOU!!! I was so frustrated with the paper instructions before I saw this video.😄

[@JY21430]

Great video. Fitted mine yesterday in 30 mins after watching this.

[@richo8767]

Thanks for the helpful explanation. I just bought this system and waiting for it to arrive. I have a wall mount opener and so I will need to find a creative way to align the door sensors

[@chicagoaussie3072]

Great review. Explained perfectly. Convinced me to purchase two devices. Well done!!!

[@reryro1266]

Excellent, excellent tutorial -- couldn't have been more clear.

[@pjblakeii]

Outstanding effort sir !!! I was wavering on whether to purchase this item to solve my garage door issues... but after watching your video, I'm buying it, no question !! Thank you

[@dial2fast]

Thanks for your comment!

[@jakog3971]

Great Job!!! im looking to buy a smart wifi garage door opening and you made everything simple.

[@sAmiZZle82]

Brilliant comprehensive video! Thank you

[@adriangoncalvez5377]

Great video, and thank u for all the easy explanations!

[@user-wk3oz9sw4v]

Excellent video. You made the installation so easy. Thank you..

[@rbrbworld]

Thank you for the video. For what it's worth - I received Version 3.0 10/12/20 which has slightly modified contents and instructions. You no longer need to assemble the module described 1:58 to 3:01. It's already assembled. The power cable is now an integral USB cord that plugs into a usb power adapter (included). And the connector for the opener powerhead is already mounted. I like your spade/crimp connectors...that would have made the job a lot easier. After replacing my broken gogogate2 with this thing, I'm SO MUCH happier!

[@dial2fast]

Thanks for sharing the update to the device.

[@Doccraw]

Thanks! Nice tips on the install. Very well done video

[@TonyWheeler60]

Thank you. This will make my installation even easier :)

[@mowman334]

Great simple video,thank you so much,no useless into just good info.😊

[@dial2fast]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ssparrrkyy]

Thanks for the video. I placed mine on the side of garage door. I could not use the included door switch due to tight clearance. So I used a slim neo magnetic coin size magnet mounted on the garage door.

[@rcjohnson3281]

Very helpful and detailed video. Thanks!

[@kevinchan8605]

Well done. Thanks for this video!

[@ShazeAn]

Superb instructions! Thank you.

[@neklamp2431]

Thank you! You gave me a very good idea about the placement of the censor!

[@dial2fast]

Glad my video was helpful for you. Cheers!

[@ivanbordon7153]

@@dial2fast hi thanks for this vid. I have one question, and Id be very helpful if You can aswer. Is it possible to use this unit without connecting it to the garage door unit (motor) ? Maybe using the remote control, somehow pair it? And then just plug it? Thanks in advance.

[@RickinICT]

@@ivanbordon7153 I think I read a review by someone who said that if you have the type of opener that doesn't open when you short the two contacts together, that you have to contact them and they'll send you a "device" that will enable the Meross to trigger your garage door opener. He had such an opener and contacted them, and the "device" they sent was basically a generic garage door opener with a couple of wires sticking out the side that they had soldered to the contacts for the original button on the remote. You connect the opener wires from the Meross to the wires they bodged onto the remote, and the Meross makes the remote think its button has been pressed. Then you program the "device" (remote) to your door, and voila! the Meross opens and closes your door. The only problem with this approach is that many openers have a limit on how many remotes you can program to them, so you have to have at least one more remote slot open to add this "device".

[@ivanbordon7153]

@@RickinICT It works great.👍👍👍

[@megatherium99]

Excellent tutorial!

Thank you very much. Really helpful :)

You should be paid for this, because the directions that come with it are ridiculous. 👍 great job my friend and thank you for the knowledge

[@kirkcerise2061]

Excellent installation instructions.

[@PaulTenorio71]

You should create a patreon, I would gladly pay a fee for videos such as these that provide good detail and lead to a succesful install. Thank you.

[@MRSATTITUDE06]

Excellent step-by-step instructions. Couldn't have installed this without this video. One question though...where would you suggest I install my sensors if my chain is on top? Thanks in advance

[@juanjosaura3681]

Thanks for the video. I have Meross for switch and temperature. I will get that because I don't need extra app in my phone (Madrid, Spain)

[@greed4great]

Thanks, this video helped a lot.

ThIs is super helpful!

[@mattcero1]

Awesome video guy! Quick question, if I short the wall button connections like you did and the controller does not actuate, would it be safe to assume I do not have a dry contact and I'd need to also purchase another part with my device to put in series such as a relay or something? Thanks for the great video guy!

[@Deafjustin]

Saving your money good idea

[@av8dr]

Great video with clear instructions. Can you install without the sensor? I have a camera in my garage so I don't need it. Thanks.

[@dial2fast]

You have to install the sensors so the controller will know the state of the door whether it's open or close.

[@Dave--FkTheDeepstate]

Thanks. Is there a link (or product name/model #) for your previous opener setup ?

[@dwarak1981]

Excellent video. Spot on instructions. thank you. At 6:25 you used a wire clip to hold the wire. Where do we get them from?

[@dial2fast]

Those grey clips came with the original garage opener.

[@tapsshah]

Question : Does it know if it is open to not do anything if you say to google to open the garage door rather than closing it? That's my problem with current installation with different Smart Life device. Or if you know how to achieve that, then it would be helpful. Thanks.

[@Bill-th5bd]

Awesome job describing the install. It looks like you used some type of clips to hold the reed switch along the top rail, where did you get them?

[@dial2fast]

The reed switch is held in using double sided tape. The wire is held in place using clips that were already there on the garage screw drive.

[@iettaala6383]

Grate grate video, do you think it would work with my chemberlan that lost the remote signal to my remote control?

[@derekzmoto1604]

Can you disable the notifications? and operate the opener on multiple phones as in wife/mine.

[@daviddawes6937]

nice review, can you add siri shortcuts?

[@grobarstevo]

@dial2fast have you tried to link with IFTT Google Ass2or Amazon Alexa by chance. And is there an option to auto close after open for a certain amount of time... 10 15 minutes whatever. Otherwise great video!

[@LarryBreen]

Any follow up with the accessory kit?

[@sportsjunkie9589]

Can you ask Google Assistant or Alexa if the garage is opened or closed and what happens if you ask 1 of them to close the garage if already closed? Great job on video!

[@ONA08]

merci !

Verry nice 👍👍🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅

Hi, I like your Video. Do you have any video for Garage beam sensors installation with wiring demo. Please inform. Thanks

[@dotnetdevni]

Can u set this to open a few yards a way does it do the old merlin garage door openers

[@ppapin4245]

Nice video. Unfortunately, mine came from Amazon in 1 day, but required an accessory from Meross that will take at least a week to get to my house. The thing I'm REALLY worried about is now some Chinese company has my exact address - AND the capability of opening my garage.

[@desertrider325]

Whats the diffrence between the white and the black versions? Also my black one came with USB for power and not a plug and already installed.

[@SherryXshi_]

Any thing similar but more updated? Can I control it biz cell app in other States?

[@rajeevradhakrishnannair8838]

Hi mate..my garage openere is a merlin and it is in the list..but it does have a program button..would that make any diffrence??
