This comes in so handy when you have a friend that wants to stop by and grab something from your garage. I opened my door from Mexico. Great opener...very quiet.

This was still helpful in 2022. Thanks! In case this is helpful for anyone else: I had a leftover gateway from the previous owner of my home. I kept getting a "310" error when trying to add the device to my account. I had to do a hard reset of the gateway device (steps can be found on Chamberlain's website), and then I was able to use it.

I updated my two garage doors recently with this hub, works great! Very easy to install! I also noticed that LED lights do not interfere with this system as they do with remote key pads.
@ericbrandt86758 жыл бұрын
In short....the green LED and blue LED should do a quick flash on power up of the unit.....the green LED is your network connection to the Internet.....it will initially flash while establishing a connection, then after possibly several minutes (10?) it should be a solid green light.....if you power down the gateway after a solid green light you should get a green/blue LED flash on power up then pretty quickly a solid green LED......when green is solid......press the learn button on the operator.....blue LED should then illuminate indicating a pairing of the blue tooth connection between the operator and Internet gate unit.....at that point you should have a functioning system on your smart phone on the operator application.

It does have a risk. However, that risk truly exists if someone has control of their system and also knows where you are while being able to be at your location. I had it for ~9 years now and so far it still works well. Had no issues and used the app multiple times to ensure I have closed the garage door.

I have an old 1992 Sears Garage Door Opener. It uses dip switches for the transmitter and does not have a door sensor. I want to control it over the internet and its not compatible with the myQ gateway. I believe this is because its not a programmable opener. If I added a Linear Universal MegaCode Receiver to the contacts of the door bell push button to open and close the garage door now making it a programmable opener, would it comunicate with the gateway allowing me to open and close the garge door over the internet? I understand the legal reasons (no door sensor) but this will be my call.

Hi - great video. Thanks. Im thinking of doing the same to but I have a Liftmaster... and will need both the MyIQ wall unit and gateway. Couple of questions.... 1. Im looking for a feature that the app tells / alerts you if the garage is open for a specified amount of time (ex - 5 mins, 10 mins, or whatever you determine). This is different than the auto close (which I dont want to use bc I know for sure I will lock myself out of the house if enables). Ideally, I would like to just be reminded if i forgot to close the garage. Do you know if this is possible? 2. Do you think it mattered which version gateway you bought for your overhead motor (Chamberlain, Craftsman, or Liftmaster) or would any have worked since they are all manufactured by the same company? From my perspective, all 3 seem to be the same products just with the different names on the box. Did you research the differences, or do you suggest going for best price? 3. Do you know if the apps for Chamberlain, Craftsman and Liftmaster are all the same (similar to what I am assuming for the internet gateways), only rebranded with the appropriate logos, or is one brand app significantly better/more advanced than another. Also, do you happen to know if you need to use the app specific to your exact brand, or can a Liftmaster App work with the Chamberlain MyIQ gateway - in case one app is more developed than another? Thanks so much... and again, great video.
@StumptownBoy7 жыл бұрын
1) When you view your (named) device through the app, it will say, (device name) has been open/closed for XX minutes/hours. 3) I think so. I have a LiftMaster opener and use the Chamberlain gateway, and the app is developed by Chamberlain. When I search "MyQ" in the Google Play store, the only offering is from Chamberlain. For this same reason, I'm thinking the answer to #2 is no, it doesn't likely matter. But just to be safe, why not get the brand that matches your opener?
@ColoradoRMN7 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching. Glad you liked the video. To answer your questions: 1. It does have that option in the app. I got mine set to alert me if it has been open for 5 minutes. I now use that instead of auto-close as as I forgot to press the hold button a few times when working outside and was running into the house as the beeping alert was starting with the warning. :) 2 / 3. I got the Chamberlain for the price. I expect them to be same/similar but since I do not know for sure I cannot make a recommendation. Best optoin would be to call and have customer service confirm compatibility.

+Jesse Hooton Hi Jesse hopefully you already got an answer. But you do not need a new control panel. If your main unit is myq compatible then this will work by itself. Basically this functions like a internet connected remote. As long as it is plugged in and has internet, is within a remotes range of the door it will work. You can also control more than one door with the same unit.

+Bob Riley No, not an option. The beep is only on door close (no sound on door open). I think it is for safety purposes so that in case someone is in the way, they are "warned" that the door is going to go down. It is also helpful in-case you forget to press "hold" button; you get a warning that the door is going to close so that one does not get locked out. I went out to get the mail once and start chatting with my neighbor, the beeping "reminded" me that I bet get in before door closes and press the 'hold' button.
