meross Smart Garage Door Opener Remote, Compatible with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, SmartThings, Multiple Notification Modes, No Hub NeededCarbonfree Certified

I’ve been using the meross Smart Garage Door Opener Remote (HomeKit compatible version) for a few months now, and I can say with confidence that this little device punches well above its weight. If you’re looking for a simple, reliable way to add smart functionality to your garage door, especially within the Apple ecosystem, this is the product you want.Setup and InstallationRight out of the box, I was impressed by how thoughtfully everything was packaged. The instructions were clear, and meross includes all the necessary components for installation. It took me less than 30 minutes to install, and most of that time was just being cautious and routing wires neatly.I connected it to a Chamberlain garage door opener. The compatibility chart on their website was spot-on, and I had no trouble integrating it. There’s also a helpful test mode before final installation to make sure your garage door opener is supported.HomeKit IntegrationThis is where the meross opener really shines. Once installed, pairing with Apple HomeKit was fast and painless. You scan the HomeKit code, it gets added to the Home app, and that’s it. It shows up just like any other HomeKit accessory—complete with a tile that shows open/closed status and allows remote operation.I can now check if my garage door is open or closed, control it remotely, and even set up automations or voice commands through Siri. For example, I have a scene that turns off the house lights and closes the garage door when I say, “Hey Siri, I’m heading out.” It’s small stuff like that which makes your day smoother.Performance and ReliabilityAfter months of daily use, I haven’t had a single hiccup. The opener responds instantly to commands, both from within the house and remotely over cellular. Notifications are reliable and timely—I get a prompt alert anytime the door is opened or closed. It also has a safety delay with a beep and flashing light before the door moves, which I appreciate from a safety standpoint.Privacy and SecurityBecause this uses HomeKit, I don’t have to rely on a third-party cloud service to operate it remotely. The commands go through Apple’s secure architecture, which was one of the biggest selling points for me. It’s nice not having to open up a separate app or account with yet another smart home brand. I just use the Apple Home app, and it works every time.A Few Things to NoteIf I’m being nitpicky, the included wires could be a little longer depending on your garage door setup, especially if your opener is mounted in a less standard spot. That said, a few extra feet of wire is an easy fix if needed.Also, make sure your Wi-Fi signal is strong in the garage. I had no issues, but I could see how a weak connection might cause delays or pairing trouble. If your signal isn’t great, consider a Wi-Fi extender before blaming the device.Pros:• Quick and easy installation with clear instructions• Flawless integration with Apple HomeKit• Fast, reliable remote control and real-time status updates• No third-party cloud login required—uses Apple’s secure ecosystem• Siri support and full HomeKit automation compatibility• Safety features (warning beep/light before door movement)• Affordable compared to other HomeKit garage solutionsCons:• Included wiring might be short for some setups• Requires decent Wi-Fi signal in the garageFinal ThoughtsThis is one of those rare smart home gadgets that does exactly what it claims to, without fuss or constant tinkering. The meross Smart Garage Door Opener is affordable, reliable, and fully integrates with Apple’s HomeKit in a way that just makes life easier. If you’re an iPhone user looking to smarten up your garage without overcomplicating things, this is the one to get.

I bought this garage door opener because I have three doors and wanted something that came as one unit rather than having three separate controls, one for each door. This opener worked like a charm and was very simple to install.The unit works on a huge number of garage door openers. When I was trying to decide if it would work on mine, I was a little frustrated as there was no list showing which openers it would work with but once I got the product, downloaded the APP and saw the vast selection of openers it was compatible with, I could see why. There are just TOO many to list in the description on the web page!To install the product, you'll need to download the Meross APP first, create an account and then it will walk you through the steps to install the unit, route and connect the wiring, etc. At first, the APP can seem a bit cumbersome when trying to get it to work but it's not difficult at all, once you follow the proper steps in the instructions. There are no fees or subscriptions needed as the APP is free; I like free!With the APP, there are a lot of features you can use to control your garage doors, you can set them up to close at a certain time, get notifications when a door is opened, you can view a record of openings and closings, etc. You can even check the APP and at a glance, see if your doors are open or closed, very nice feature! And of course, the opener works seamlessly with other smart control devices, even multiple ones if you have more than one which you use. I have Alexa as my main control device at home, but I also have Siri on my phone, and I can open or close the doors with either one. If you have the Alexa app on your phone, you can control them with it as well. If you're in your vehicle and don't have the Alexa app or have it listening, you can just tell Siri to open (or close) your garage door. I really love all of this functionality! And you can control the doors from anywhere as long as you have a Wi-Fi signal. Again, just check the Meross APP to see whether they are open or closed.A couple of things I want to mention, one is, this controller only comes with wiring for two doors but it can be used on three doors. This is noted in the description so it's no big deal but, I needed the third set of wiring and had to research it to figure out the right thing to order. Meross, you need to either list that third wiring set in the description for this product or put a link to it on the product page. Secondly, I reached out to Meross customer service, not for a problem, but to ask a technical question and I received a very fast response from Lydia. Her response was concise and easily understood, answering my question exactly, leaving no doubt in my mind about what I was asking - great job!Overall, I highly recommend this product if you're wanting to upgrade and have the ability to control your garage doors other than with switches or remotes. With the Meross APP, you don't need anything else to have that full control over your doors but having the other smart control options is nice as well. I like the product so much, I've already ordered another one to use with the two large garage doors on my workshop. For the money and the features you get, this product is a great value!d this long before I got them!
