Community Reviews
Meross's smart garage opener is a WiFi relay that adds app control, door status, and scheduling to older garage door openers, with strong Home Assistant, Siri, Google, and Apple Watch integration in the right setup. Long-term reliability is a standout, with multiple reports of years of trouble free use and easy installs on older Chamberlain, LiftMaster, and Craftsman units. The main catches are compatibility checks, 2.4 gigahertz WiFi, and extra sensor or adapter steps on some models. Cloud dependence and uneven Apple Home or Google Home behavior also come up, so it works best when the opener and ecosystem match.
Common Questions (5)
Yes. It can be used over LAN with Home Assistant, supports Siri voice commands on the non-HomeKit version, and the HomeKit version adds Apple Watch and CarPlay controls. Google Home integration works, but it requires a PIN, and upgrading from Google Assistant to Gemini may break voice control.
Long-term reliability is repeatedly reported, with examples of 4 to 6 years of trouble-free use and one 5-year install that only needed a sensor fix once. It also supports scheduled close, open-too-long alerts, and multiple phones on one account, which makes it useful for daily automation.
It works with many older openers, including 16- to 20-year-old LiftMaster and very old 40-year-old units, as long as the opener responds to shorting the wall-button terminals. The MSG150 is also reported to work with some newer Chamberlain and LiftMaster models, including yellow learn-button units, but Genie support is limited on the MSG150HK version.
The opener uses a wired sensor on the door/rail to report open or closed status in the app, and some units can infer position from the travel limits. The newer MSG150 is preferred because it reportedly avoids a separate door-state sensor install, while older setups may need the sensor mounted on the rail and door.
It requires 2.4GHz Wi‑Fi, and some setups need the router bands split to configure it reliably. The unit can also interfere with the existing clicker signal if placed poorly, but moving it away from the opener wire or mounting it higher has resolved that issue.

MyQ works like a remote in your car would work - so it needs to be paired with your unit just like a new remote would. It uses wifi just to communicate with your account/app.
Meross is different - it works like a button in your garage would - literally just jumps the same contacts that the button does. To know whether the door is open or closed it needs sensors setup on the shuttle of the door actuator and rail.
So, Meross will be much more widely usable (my main complaint with the bolt on MyQ was in pairing it with a Genie opener, since I had upgraded my opener to a belt), but the time I had it, the software wasn't awesome, spelling errors, etc, but it did work and it had more functionality like programming (open/close times etc). MyQ is more polished, but is owned by one of the opener companies so it's very corporatized.
In a newer house I had installed 2 new MyQ-enabled openers a few years ago. These include cameras, which are also in the app. No issues with connectivity - the camera interface is somewhat slow, but I mostly use a separate Ring camera in the garage for monitoring. I have schedules set such that if my kids leave the door open when they leave for school it will close by 745am and it also closes at night.
Almost 5 Years and running.
Wiring the sensors is stupidly easy. just run it on the same rail as the opener.
The sensor goes on the door, mine was right at the top of the door, so it knows 100% that the door is fully closed.
Features I like most are
1: Timed Close. After a set amount of time that you set 1,2,10 mins it will try to close the door if it is open, based on my sensor position, it will do this even when partially open, fully open or almost closed but not quite. And because it repeats, it eventually closes the door even if I forget or accidentally open it.
2: Notification that Door is open/closed. Every time this thing is too reliable. Notifications on point.
3: Door Open for too long notification: Again, you set the open time and after that it will tell you that the garage door has been open for longer than that. E.g 10mins
4: Open and Close from anywhere in the world. Yep this one is fantastic.
5: Multiple logins on the same account on different phones. You can have both you and your spouse logged into the same account on different phones.
6: The extension from the garage door button trick. When you press the wired garage door opener button, if you hold it down you can increase how long the open time is from there. Useful for many situations I'm working in the garage.
Been using it for nearly 5 years and never failed me. It was an easy install, does everything I expect it to do.

Not sure if this is available with the Meross, but with the Ratgdo I have a routine set named "Garage Cooling ON" which sets the door to 25% and turns on my fan.
