Not bad for the price, but could use some improvements...
I got this device when it was still around $40. I would say especially now the price has got down, it is certainly a worthwhile investment to convert a dumb garage door opener into a smart one that you can control via your smartphone or allow Amazon Key access through the Key app.Here are my general thoughts on this device:The good:1. Great battery life - Since it uses a larger-sized coin battery, a single battery usually gets about 10 months of operation in my case during normal operation.2. The device was quite easy to set up with my old LiftMaster Professional garage door opener that did not support any smart connectivity.3. Open/close push notifications are generally instantaneous and have been consistently reliable.4. Status readings are accurate in real-time and the apps give a good history as far as when your garage door is opened/closed.5. Guest user sharing that allows you to share access outside of your main account. However, sharing is location-based, and access cannot be delegated down to specific sensors.6. Orientation sensors mounted on the garage door allow you to sense door activity without physically modifying the garage door (just a sticky tape mount on the garage door itself).7. Amazon can actually deliver packages in the garage without leaving them at the doorstep.The not so good:1. There is approximately a five-second delay between when a close command is issued through the app and when your garage door actually begins to close. During that delay, the main unit emits constant, loud warning beeps warning others to clear the area. I find this feature annoying since it adds a delay to when you have to wait for your garage door to close and the warning beeps may startle others (like your neighbors) at night thinking that it may be some kind of break-in. There are no official ways to disable this feature, although you can open the unit and desolder the speaker so the annoying beeping can be stopped. Alternatively, using the physical button can also avoid this issue (but this only works if you have a physical remote to use as well).2. The device only supports 2.4Ghz wireless connections and would not connect if WPA3 is enabled on your device, even in mixed WPA3+WPA2 PSK mode. This means that if you have purchased a newer router that supports WPA3, enabling it will prevent the main unit from connecting to it altogether. In those cases, you will either have to fall back to WPA2-PSK only mode or create an alternate network for IoT devices that support only WPA2-PSK on the 2.4Ghz spectrum.3. Connections are not the most stable and sometimes you will suddenly receive notifications that your device has gone offline, even if all of your other devices are fine and are connected to the Internet. Generally, the device will fix itself within 15 minutes when this happens, but during that time you would not be able to open/close your garage door via the app.4. Amazon Key activity is not always recorded - It seems like Amazon Key uses a different API to send door open/close activities to the garage door opener and their activities are not always 100% recorded in the garage door MyQ history. Although I have not had any thefts relating to this so far, having this happen without a record is somewhat concerning to me. You can tell this is happening because the driver can close your garage door opener without the same annoying beeps that you would otherwise get if you closed it with your app.5. Google Assistant integration is pretty useless - They used to require a subscription for you to even use this, but so far this feature has been pretty useless. This is especially because you can only use this integration to close the garage door or check its status. If you are driving and trying to open the garage door via the assistant, you will simply get a message saying "For security purposes, I cannot open the garage door yet." What is the purpose of using the assistant if this cannot be done hands-free? Additionally, if you have multiple sensors, the MyQ app will often get confused and keep asking you which one you wish to operate. It is just much easier to try to tinker with the app and try to open the garage door that way. Although they have temporarily waived payment for this, I am not sure why someone would pay for this half-baked feature.6. If you have MyQ and the Amazon Key app installed, they both start generating notifications at the same time. Although this is tweakable, this is still somewhat annoying.7. If you ever had to change your Wi-Fi password, you will have to reset the whole system and start the repairing process all over again. I don't know why they can't just allow you to do this in the app before the password change rather than forcing you through the whole process again.8. Although Amazon Key works most of the time, around 20% of the time the driver will elect to still put packages on your doorstep because it takes too long to open and close your garage door, and waiting for your garage door to open and close will cut into their delivery efficiency and rates. I actually have had multiple Amazon drivers shouting obscenities at the camera on different occasions because the garage door is taking too long to respond or they are carrying a large burden for the day. There was a Key delivery for an electronic that was both expensive and sensitive, but in that delivery, the driver ended up putting the package on the side door where my gutters were and the package got all soaked on a rainy day.9. The coin battery, being larger than the standard CR2032 (it uses a CR2450), is more difficult to find in stores and generally more expensive. Although you can still find them online in bulk, it might be more difficult to find something quick when the device is running low in battery.10. It tends to alert about the battery when the battery voltage is still a bit high. I measured the battery voltage of the stock battery which I replaced in which it said low battery, and the battery was still reporting 3.09V. Perhaps there is a high current draw that was causing it to go below a certain threshold, which seemed somewhat unlikely, I think perhaps they are doing this to try to get you to purchase these batteries more often (perhaps directly from Chamberlain themselves).

Let me start by saying I was on the fence for months as to whether I should actually buy this Garage Door opener from MyQ. The reviews on Amazon were very mixed and I wasn't too pleased that once I bought into this product, I would probably have to spend more. I will talk about that in a moment.

I actually decided to make a purchase during Prime Day when the cost of this item sold for about $20 less than it regularly does. It seemed like an absolute bargain at that point.

The installation was very simple. The mounting was a bit of a nightmare only because MyQ didn't fully explain that process in their directions.

The installation process is a breeze, thanks to the mobile app which does an excellent job of walking you through the process, complete with videos that make a novice like me an expert. You basically use the app to pair the base unit and the sensor. The sensor comes with two-sided tape and gets placed on the inside of your garage door.

The problem I ran into was the screws. MyQ provides you with 2 different sized sets of screws. They don't tell you that if you use the anchors, you must use the shorter screws. I used the longer ones. Now, I am sure most of you who are more handymen than I am probably could have figured that out on your own, but for someone not as mechanically inclined, it would have been nice for MyQ to give a better explanation of screw usage in their instruction manual. Once I undid the initial mistake, I was able to successfully mount the MyQ to my garage ceiling beam.

One other note to make here: The mounting bracket is also a bit of a problem. You have to go through two sets of holes to drill in your screw. It's a little cumbersome. I wish the bracket was designed a little better to make it easier. I am guessing this was the best MyQ could do. All in all, I am not taking any stars away in this review for the clunky install and bracket. I am guessing most of you who are more handymen orientated won't have an issue.

So, once installed, the garage opened and closed as expected using the remote. No issues there.

The real nice surprise here was that, for the moment, MyQ is no longer charging people $10 a year to integrate MyQ with Google (and I think) Alexa. Previously, there was a subscription charge. That caused a huge amount of backlash from customers. I even swore I would not buy this product if a subscription was mandated. Well, for now, that subscription has been put on hold. You can get free integration for your smart device. Be aware that for the moment MyQ is saying this could be only temporary.

Voice integration with Google Home Hub is not as fluent as you would hope. You can't just say, "Hey Google, is my Garage Door open?" of "Hey Google, close my garage door." You have to say, "Hey Google, ask MyQ if my Garage Door is Open." I am not exactly happy about that extra step.

Also, do realize that there are extra security measures put in place that prevent homeowners from giving smart devices opening commands. You can't say, "Hey Google (or Alexa) open my Garage Door." The reason behind this is so burglars can't yell that command from outside your home in hopes of your smart device picking it up.

HOWEVER....HOWEVER...HOWEVER...

There is a new, free software workaround that allows you to open and close your garage door through Alexa (and probably Google) commands. You don't need to buy the $15 kit. If you want more information you can reply to me in the comments.

One other thing I need to mention here. If you want iOS/Homekit support you need to buy the additional $90 MyQ bridge. I found that aspect to be unfortunate as that add-on is severely overpriced. I will end up purchasing it just so that I can open and close my garage door using the new iOS 13 Carplay functionality which puts Homekit on your navigation screen. It would be great, as I arrive home to say, "Hey Siri, open my garage door."

So, bottom line: The MyQ garage door opener works great out of the box. Some of its smart home command functionality is limited, but there are workarounds.

Before purchasing the myQ Hub to monitor my two overhead car doors, I reviewed probably 200 customer feedback postings. While I noticed a number of negative claims that the MYQ-G0301 didn't work well I was hesitant to take those comments at face value as I had previously installed a myQ Chamberland opener on a 3rd overhead garage bay for my golf cart bay and had no issues at all in the last year with it.

The G0301 installation went smoothly and flawlessly, but repeating the words of a number of posters in this blog YOU HAVE TO CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS for a number of reasons. !!!

First and foremost you MUST have a good wifi signal in your garage, and it highly likely that will NOT be the case for most garages as they are probably not very close to where you have your router installed. USE YOUR SMARTPHONE to check the wifi signal where the Hub will be installed. If it is not a good solid 2 or 3 bars then I guarantee you will have installation issues!! The solution is to add a wifi Range-Extender to your installation. I used the TP-LINK model TL-WA855RE and was impressed with its ease of setup and the performance improvement it delivered! It resulted in a 4-8 fold improvement in wifi signal strength and made all the difference in the world.

Two. Make sure you install the Hub no further away from the closed doors than the door opener motor, and the door sensors as close in-line with the Hub as practical. Yes. I have TWO doors controlled by the single G0301 Hub.

In the attached image you can see where I installed the Hub (yellow circled highlight) and the door sensors (red highlighted rectangles). Note also that several reviewers have noted that the orientation of the Hub may be critical to proper operation. The myQ Installation manual never comments on this but shows that the power plug is on the backside of the Hub (the side furthest away from the door) so I followed that approach (note image yellow arrow pointing to power plug).

I noted that several reviewers also commented that their door sensor fell off of the door when they used the sticky-back Velcro fasteners. I suspect they didn't properly clean the door surface as I have never had a Velcro fastener fail to stick. To the contrary, I can hardly ever remove them when they are no longer needed as their adhesive grab is so tenacious! But to be safe I used the screws provided in the install kit. It was simple and easy to do and should be a solid attachment means.

All in all, I would wager that 99.9% of the user problems stated in these posts is a result of either poor wifi signal or not following the installation instructions.

Finally, as a retired Chief Engineer for various radio and tv stations, and knowledgeable of radio (including wifi) issues, I would suggest to those users that have experienced their doors opening/closing randomly and without reason, that such actions are virtually impossible without a good underlying cause, which for all door opener devices, is simply the fact that their opener is picking up a transmitted code from a rogue remote control in their area. Somehow such a remote signal has been previously learned by the user's door opener. The solution is to clear out (erase) all codes and then go thru the programming steps again for the user's remotes (and myQ Hub).

In my humble opinion, this is a wonderful addition to my garage and solves the problem of driving away and later discovering I forgot to close the garage door. Also, the peace of mind that results from automatically closing all the garage doors (should they have been left open) at the end of the day, is priceless.

I am a happy camper and give myQ 8 out of 5 stars.

 Accesorio bastante útil para dar acceso al conductor de Amazon o ML cuando no hay quien reciba las entregas personalmente.
A diferencia del modelo de color blanco, este dispositivo es compatible con los motores que traen botón de aprendizaje color amarillo. La instalación fue sencilla y no me llevó mas de 30 minutos. El instructivo dice que el modulo se instale alejado de cosas metálicas, sin embargo lo instalé en la misma estructura que sostiene al motor y funcionó sin problemas. Por otro lado, el sensor de posición lo atornille en el panel superior del portón y la instalación fue sencilla.
Una vez que el usuario principal configura su perfil en la aplicación, se pueden agregar accesos adicionales en forma de copropietarios (pareja, hijos) o usuarios temporales.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this garage door opener
Reviewed in Canada on May 31, 2022
I experience problems with my remote and keypad when opening and closing my garage door. Instead of buying an expensive garage door opener I looked at purchasing the compatible wifi enabled garage door opener.
Installation - It is very straight forward and easy to install! I have a three because I ran into difficulties with what we think was interference from another device. Moving it solved the problem. Tech support was excellent helping me solve this!

I thoroughly enjoy the Chamberlin wifi connected opener. It is convenient to use as an app on my phone, it works well all of the time.

Prior to the door closing there is a little alarm
to notify anyone nearby it is about to close. Handy I’d you have children for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Muy práctico
Reviewed in Mexico on November 26, 2020
Al principio lo instalé y solo funcionaba el reporte de abierto y cerrado, no lo podía configurar hasta que vi que mi motor tenía un botón blanco que sirve para abrir el portón manual, ahí tiene dos botones que hay que apretar y sin darme cuenta ya estaba configurado. Funciona muy bien. Mi motor es Merik pero la calcomanía dice chamberlain.
Me costó algo de trabajo pero por fin funcionó. Solo sirve para puertas que abren hacia arriba por el sensor que indica abierto y cerrado. Ya puedo abrir el portón con mi celular.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost returned it but...
Reviewed in Canada on January 9, 2020
I have an entire smart home at this point, save for the locks. When I ordered this I knew I was taking a chance, as I had a Steel-Craft door. I knew it was made by Chamberland so I thought it was worth the gamble. When it came in I went over the video on YouTube again and made sure I had the app setup. Everything went smoothly until it came the to pair it with the garage opener. I picked "other" initially and had no luck. I then went picked "Chamberland" with the same results. I came inside and had the order ready to return. I even initiated a return through Amazon.

That night my wife left the garage door open all night again. I decided to give it another go after work that day. I went to the Chamberland website and the MyQ website. I had the support number in my phone and headed to the garage. This time I picked "Liftmaster" as I had seen the name on the Chamberland site. It immediately paired and has been working flawlessly since. Great product and the install was truly simple.

4.0 out of 5 stars Make your garage smart
Reviewed in Canada on October 26, 2019
Best way to incorporate your garage into your smart home set up. Instead of buying a whole new garage door opener, this simple device adds smart home/wi-fi capabilities to your existing garage door opener. There are 2 components to the product, a door sensor to detect if the garage door is opened or closed, and a base station that controls your garage door. Pairing and set-up is easy and it worked the first time I tried. The app is very responsive and you can connect it to third party applications and services like IFTTT and Google Home and have the garage door automatically close when you leave your home.

The biggest drawback is that you cannot set it up to automatically open your garage door when you arrive home. You need to manually open the app and open your garage door with the app, you cannot set up automation with other services of the app itself. I would also really have liked to see Siri integration, but that is small compared to not being able to automatically open your garage door when you come home.
