Unless something changed in the last 9 mos since I sold my home, this is incorrect.

I had a MyQ for a few years until I moved (no garage now). I despised how Chamberlain treated MyQ users and forced you to pay for (for example) IFTTT integration just to open the door. They would not provide any way to close it. They also don't (or didn't, unsure nowadays) provide a way to use any home assistant to control your door, under the guise of "security".

Long story short, if you're handy, get a push button for your opener, a smart two channel relay, and a simple magnetic contact switch. Then with some handy work you can have a door that responds to open/close in Alexa/Google, as well as responds to geofencing. I'd hit the top of my neighborhood and by the time I got to the driveway the door was just finishing opening.

I posted about this on their user forums. Then they shadow banned the post. I put it on my own website and that got shared around a lot by others.

Things in the forms got pretty contentious in general about Chamberlain and their "policies", and rather than being customer oriented to the complaints, they just shut down the whole thing down, lol.

Can you tell I'm bitter 😂
Why on earth do you want the chain version??
It would suck if the chain drive ones are both louder and also use plastic parts.

How good is this unit for the price? I read a review stating a concern that the pulley was plastic and will wear out....

Haha. Why on earth does Amazon offer S&S for garage door openers?

Too bad the chain version isn't also on sale.

It used to be that chain-driven openers lasted longer but I'm not sure that is still the case. The quieter operation is more important to me anyway

Why are you so shocked at my question? Maybe direct it at manufacturers for still making them?

I already have a chain, and the belt drives I've experienced make a high-pitched electronic whine. They also tend to have plastic parts that break.

I just realized this is an AC motor and the better ones have DC motors. I guess that's why this is on sale

Does MyQ still require a subscription for smart home use?

What sucks is you want everyone to think the way you think and like what you like. Garage door openers aren't even that loud, but I'll take loud over high-pitched whine every time.
I had chain, currently have screw and belt.
No high pitched whine here. Waiting for my screw drive to die to replace it with the second belt drive I bought on sale a few years back.

No. I've had myQ openers for many years now, never had to have one.

Just upgraded to one with a camera -- and they do offer a cloud plan for saving that video, but it is not required.

This is the one I got, on sale at costco rn: https://www.costco.com/.product.4000140196.html

Do you use it with google assistant? From what I've heard there's a $10/year subscription to do so, but they've been running a "free limited time promotion" that doesn't have a clear end date

The pulley? OR gears? Most of these are plastic. I had a gear wear out in my old chain drive, swapping was easy.
