Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Meross has a built-in door position sensor that works just as well as a battery-operated sensor. The programmer recommends having the alarm go off a second or two before the door closes, rather than the moment it is coming down. You have to make sure ...  Read More

Pilot holes were drilled with a drill and small drill bits for the #5 screws. The length of the cables may dictate where you locate the controller box.

Three sets of very long wire, if you have 3 garage doors, included that have the magnetic sensor on the end. Since its a simple small gauge two conductor cable splicing more wire is one option. My 16-foot wide doors are 6 feet apart and my openers are...  Read More

Meross is an absolute pleasure to use compared to myq. Gone are the loud beeps and delays of the myq era. It controls both the new genie, and my 20 year old sears opener.

Myq garage opener works with apple and siri.



Cons

Very finicky setup procedure and after lots of troubleshooting (forcing connection to 2. I decided to chuck this and ordered one of the more polished kits (the one from canada) but that is not what i needed. The included instructions were very lacking...  Read More

Homekit setup experience is one of the lousiest i've had. By default this darn thing asks to connect to homekit even after selecting the non-homekit connection. The meross wifi connection is only setup for homekit, no other option.

Quality


Obstruction detection is accurate and easily cleared software-wise (you’ll still have to get the dog from napping in the door beam path).


It works great with a basic genie door opener and its hardwired sensor accurately detects open/closed status.


The original remote control—even with a fresh battery—has been frustratingly inconsistent.


I had real problems with this because they had installed the opener with strand wiring instead of solid core wire and under the...  Read More

Price


Great value and i'd definitely recommend the product


I got this device used - like new for $47 and it was rather easy to setup though i’d recommend getting plastic nail staples for...  Read More


I wish i had known about this before i sank so much $$ into myq.


Don't spend tons of money on an integrated wi-fi door because you won't be as happy as just getting this.

Shipping


I selected my company and promptly received the adapter.


They sent me the "accessory" in about a week and it works great on my liftmaster opener.


I ordered the additional door wiring from meross and although i had to contact meross support to get a status of the order, it ...  Read More


I received the device within 2 days via prime shipping and the adapter came 3 days later.

Packaging/appearance


I have it in a box for dust protection and placed to meross controller in the box too.

Competitiveness


The meross is an absolute pleasure to use compared to myq.


A lot of people do not realize that the aeotec zwave multipurpose is actually a fantastic garage door tilt sensor, better than ...  Read More


I bought this to replace my aging myq setup after it's parent company [chamberlain] decided to unceremoniously abandon their go...  Read More


Setting up the latter took a few tries and meross needs to provide better instructions and troubleshooting assistance.
