I have a much older version of this and inwont buy another bc Chamberlain forcing you in to a subscription model if you want any integration.

1) they've actively blocked homebridge to prevent being used with HomeKit
2) they stopped selling the HomeKit adapter/bridge for their existing Smart Openers
3) their retrofit transmitter/sensor also doesn't work with HomeKit

Pretty lame and short-sighted and lost any goodwill with me. I would've considered their smart camera if it worked with HomeKit/homebridge/anything else. But Will def avoid chamberlain family products in the future
$230 on Amazon and Lowe's with 1900 reviews 4.5 ⭐️
MyQ is awful. Completely incompatible with most home automation and previously functional back doors like Homebridge no longer work after an API change. I would stay away from Chamberlain altogether personally and wish I hadn't already owned one.

Buy a RatGDO and wire it up, best decision you'll make with one of these. F Chamberlain.

My subdivision loses power almost 6 or 7 times a year and since I work from home, I have had to use the manual pull on my old garage door opener to open and close the garage door. This can be painful as sometimes we don't get power back for a day or two. Can someone confirm how good the backup battery is? Can it be used for a few days to open and close the garage 4 or 5 times a day if I don't get power back?

Agree with one the other commenter. MyQ WiFi system is HORRIBLE.

When it's working, its fine. But one day it will will lose its wifi connection for whatever reason - so you'd be like no big deal, I'll just reset it or re-program it. That's where you'd be wrong - because it will not work! Not matter what steps you follow on their app or via the website or read about other people's experiences (mostly complaints about this same issue), it just will not work.

I've owned and used and still use tens of Wifi APs, routers, smart plugs, IP cameras, Nest, Ring, etc. ALL of them can be re-programmed easier and with no issues, compared to this unit. Which to this day after 2 months still refuses to connect no matter what kind of reset, soft, hard, unplug, disconnect backup battery. It just simply refuses to reconnect to wifi again.

I guess I could call the original garage door installer guy again and pay another $200 for it, but no thank you. Never again for Chamberlain/Craftsman products.

totally agree - not even for home automation. Even if it just loses wifi once - good luck every having it work ever again.

That happened to me a couple years ago. It took me a while but I eventually figured it out. It turns out it was due to upgrading my router. The older integrated opener units operate on wifi 802.11b and my new router broadcasted on 802.11ac. It's an incompatible hardware issue and it's not specific to MyQ. Any "smart" device produced prior to the release of 802.11a would not be able to connect to a wifi router broadcasting a newer version. My workaround was to buy a $20 signal repeater that had a dedicated 2.4ghz signal and was able to receive 802.11a wifi signals. I connected the opener to that 2.4ghz signal and never had an issue again. The newer Chamberlains have upgraded hardware and wouldn't experience the same wifi incompatibility issue.

Just got mine and installed it, works great! There wasn't a light bulb included and since the instructions state no LED, trying to track down an incandescent bulb was a pain since my local Lowe's didn't have any A19 (non LED) bulbs for sale, but I was finally able to track down one down at a local hardware store.

I also already had a Liftmaster MyQ Homebridge hub and was able to add this opener to it for Apple HomeKit. This hub is discontinued but if you already have one this opener will work with it.
