CHAMBERLAINMYQ-G0402 Garage-Door-Sensors, White

I started with 1 and now have 3 of these WiFi garage controllers. It allows me to remotely open and shut my doors for deliveries, allowing friends into the house, etc. A nice bonus feature is the Amazon Key Delivery where they can open your garage door and set your delivery inside the garage rather than having it sit out for porch pirates to steal. It was super easy to set up. Pro Tip - it was cheaper for me to buy the entire set (base + door monitor) vs just buying the door piece. I have 2 separate garages, so I need 2 bases anyway, but just check prices when you buy. It's nice having an extra base if needed. If I remember, each base can control 2 doors. Easily controlled via my iPhone app. It notifies me anytime the doors are open or shut. Can get annoying getting constant dings when the kids are running in and out, but that's my fault for setting those notifications. I'd highly recommend this product.

This system is great, I’ve installed several for myself, family, and friends. The instructions are easy to follow making installation super easy. The only issue I’ve found, and this is not a design flaw, make sure the garage receives strong WiFi signal or the connection can drop. I really like being able to open the door remotely, alerts when the door is open, and the automation feature to ensure the garage door is closed at a certain time of night. I highly recommend this system for compatible garage door openers.

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after about 90 minutes of troubleshooting with the last person, she told me that my black G0301 Hub was hopelessly outdated.* Long story short, I replaced it with a newer white G0401 hub from Amazon (about $27).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 serendipitously stumbled on this item while perusing Amazon for a remote garage opener for an old Sears Craftman opener. Boy, am I content to have accidentally discovered this item. It has converted both my Chamberlain garage openers to a useful smart system. I brought two as Amazon renewed items in order to have two garage sensors since I have a three-car garage with two garage openers. The extra hub will be as backup. I got a decent deal vs getting them as new items. One was brand new & the other one was somewhat already used by the previous owner because the garage sensor already had the adhesive tape attached & a little dirty. However, they both seem to be working without any issues. I guess this is what is expected with renewed items. It was packaged well & shipping was relatively quick despite not being a prime member.The installation was somewhat agonizing because of my complicated network setup. I don't use a traditional off the shelf router. Instead, I use a third-party, open-source firewall as my router... running on a typical desktop computer with many managed switches & AP's. This powerful network setup allows me to have a plethora of subnets & Vlans, which allow the ability for the segmentation of the network. This provides additional security by not allowing less secured devices, e.g., IoT's, from interacting with other secured devices on the LAN. After hours of trial & error, MyQ finally connected to my complex network. I had to temporarily disable client isolation & roll back the security protocol from WPA2/WPA3 to WPA/WPA2 of the UniFi [Ubiquity LR WiFi-5] AP. However, after successfully connected, I re-enabled both client isolation & the higher security protocol, WPA2/WPA3. It's working fine after a week of testing. Some reviewers say one must create a separate 2.4 ghz netwok with WAP/WPA2 only. This suggestion seems to be incorrect because it's connected & working on a dual band (2.4 & 5GHz) SSID with WPA2/ WPA3 enabled. I refused to create a less robust netwok (SSID) just for MyQ because I want all my IoT's to be on the same netwok so I can easily monitor them with the Unifi controller software. It seems the main factor that matters the most is the strength of the WiFi signal to the MyQ hub. One way to increase the WiFi signal strength without having to move equipment, is to increase the width of the WiFi signal if your WiFi offers this option. For example, the 2.4 ghz & 5 ghz were increased from 20 mhz to 40 mhz & 40 mhz to 80 mhz, respectively. This made a huge difference. The hub is much more stable now after this adjustment despite the fact that AP is more than 50 ft from the garage with many obstacles in between the hub & AP. Word of caution, this option could create connectivity issues for some networks. In general, Ubiquity AP's are more powerful & flexible than the typical WiFi device.The app is wonderful for the most part. To install, you just download the MyQ app & follow the directions. Easy peasy if you have a basic network. It may be a little harder if you have a complex network like mine. The app works as intended for the most part, but it has a couple minor issues that can be frustrating. 1. Tired of the frequent password login requests when biometric login is the only option enabled in the app. The biometric option isn't always consistent even when it's successful because there are occasions when a password prompt page still pops up. When that occurs, I have to tap the top back arrow for access, weird.🤔2. General notifications work great but I can't seem to get the "schedule" option to work. I want the garage door to close automatically at a certain time at night in case I forgot to close it. There are times when the garage door was left opened overnight. Don't want strangers, especially animals looking for a warm comfortable place to rest for the night as if it's a hotel. I live in a relatively safe, gated community in a cul-de-sac. There are strange animals roaming the place at night. My biggest fear is stumbling on one of them in my garage. Thus, this is an important feature [schedule] for me that I would love to see working.Overall, this is an awesome system that will convert the typical garage door opener into a useful smart device.Update <4/22/23>: The "schedule option" is now working for me, yippee! It appears this option will not activate if the scheduled "time" is the same for both garage sensors. Problem solved after staggering the time for both sensors. This is a nifty feature. 🥰🤗
