Awesome tutorial! Right to the point. No waiting on each screen!
Thanks 🙏🏻
Bro. You are my new best friend for the day. You went straight to the point and easy setup. Thank you. Mines work perfectly.
Lol. Thanks
It worked, and this video was helpful. As a tip, I went ahead and plugged it in before mounting it, and then set the the smaller device up on a step ladder and then paired it and tested it before going through the trouble of drilling and taping, etc. I wanted to make sure it all worked first. It did, and so far so good, so now I have more permanently mounted it per these guidelines.
Your tutorial was very easy to follow and accurate. Thank you!
You’re welcome and thanks for watching Patty.
Great walk through.. All life should be this easy! Thanks!
Thanks James.
thank you very much, installed mine in like 10 min because of your vid, I opted to just get 3m double sided tape instead of screws and it works awesomely. Thanks again Merry Christmasss
Great video! I like how you explained things in a manner where an “all thumbs” kinda guy like me could understand! Thank you!
You’re welcome. Thanks for commenting
Perfect thank you for your time. Your directions are straight to the point.
Thanks 🙏🏻 I appreciate the feedback
Awesome tutorial and great recommendation! I was worried that because my garage was on the older side I wouldn’t be able to find an easy way to connect my garage door to my smartphone, but this proved me wrong! As soon I saw this video, I ordered it with same day shipping from Amazon. Install was very easy and I like that the app also walks you through installation- step by step. Could not recommend this more, thank you!!
Thanks for the kind words Charnpreet
Been thinking about getting this but wasn't quite sure how it all worked. This looks super easy and now I think I'll go ahead with the purchase. Great tutorial!
Sir, I just set up chamberlain hub with your Video. Every step you showed perfect. I just got set up smooth. Thanks
No problem Samuel. Thanks for dropping a comment
I usually don't comment on DIY videos but you did such a great job explaining from beginning to end. I had to say thank you. 👍👍
Thanks 🙏🏻
Just got one ready to install ! Thanks for sharing info very helpful ! 👍
Thank you sir, set mine up right along with you and worked perfectly 🤜🏽🤛🏼
This is awesome! Thanks for the video, I'm going to buy one tomorrow.
I’m glad I was able to help you out Linda. Enjoy
Great video tutorial. Thanks for doing this. I am going to get one of this since my garage opener is a Lift Master also.
Excellent tutorial Ceasar. Now I will purchase!
Thanks Mike. Enjoy
This video was a huge success thank you.
Very concise and to the point, like VB said. I hear Chamberlain is hiring for video tutor stars. Just saying!
Lol. Thanks
I just got mine today, thanks allot for ur help, great video
No problem. Thanks for watching
Two suggestions/corrections:
1) make sure you have a good Wi-Fi signal at that location before installing the mount; 2) use the long screws into the drywall anchors - the short screws are for mounting the door sensor to the garage door and are too short to expand the anchor behind the drywall to secure it.
The door sensor mounts with included velcro strips, not with either of the included screws.
Awesome I'm buying one right now! Thank you
You’re welcome
Great job. I appreciate the help.
No problem
Terrific job on this video. Thanks so much.
Awesome tutorial
Great video and made me purchase the MyQ Device. Hope that my install process is just as smooth! Thanks
No problem Stew
@@CaesarCritiques I purchase and installed the device. All went well and it's up and running. I only wish that there was an automated step to closed the garage door after say 30 minutes if left open.
That would be a good option to add
Yur vdo is awesome. Need 2 install a fence w/ garage opener & yur vdo is just perfect. EZ peazy 2 installed. Thx 4 sharing on Utube.
No problem. Thanks for commenting
Some people complain. This is a free video. You don’t like. Skip. I like yours
Lol thank you 🙏🏻
What a great tutorial! Can I pair one MyQ with two garage doors?
Great video.Does the senser need battery?
You can also link to Ring with that setup and control and monitor with your Ring App
Thank you fast and easy❤❤❤❤
Thank you dude!
You’re welcome
Nice job thank you
Thanks and you’re welcome
Very nice video & clear I did mine also Thank you
You’re welcome. Thanks for dropping a comment
How frequently have you had to change out batteries? Thanks
Hi I have a question. If my door open side by side. I meant like a door room. Also will work on it ? Thanks :)
Great job man.
Thank you.
@@CaesarCritiques I've got a gliderol garage motor. Any idea if it would work with it? It also has a dry contact trigger for open stop close.
Do the photo sensors have to be working for this to work?
thank you!
You’re welcome Ryan.
Great video.. would give tip if you’ve gone though this set up and opening and closing is inconsistent.. especially closes, but often won’t open you could be getting interference from LED or halogen lights in garage.. mentioned in support troubleshooting guide that they can give off radio interference.
I needed to remove all LED bulbs.. reset MYQ hub and redo setup.. if just remove bulbs, it will still have faulty code for garage door and still be spotty.
After doing this it works flawlessly every time!
Thanks for the tip
I would not give up my LED lightning. Deal breaker 😔
If I have an older but still working garage motor without a learn button (old screw/wires/flipswitch code kind) - is there a wire i can hook to hub directly ?
Good stuff.
How does the sensor know if the door is open or closed or half way or anything? How is the sensor calibration to what? It’s it any movement it registers and considers that a valid open or close command
Does this work with Lift master made by Chamberlain ?
I haven't seen this anywhere. Perhaps you can help. Can you setup and operate the garage door without a myq sensor? I want to use myq hub with a ramset gate opener that closes automatically after 10 seconds and works with a typical multicode control.
So there are 3 buttons on the control hub. Can I set it up to where I can push the button and open/close the door?
the short screws are for the sensor and the long screws are for drywall.
Thanks for the video. Were you able to mount the hub at least the 4 feet away from metal specified in instructions? It seems unreasonable to expect this since most folks will plug it into the ceiling receptacle near both the motor, tracks, and hardware associated with the door.
Isn't cars made out of metal.
Thank you
Quick question. What does the hub do? Why would I get one. I'm asking because I want to know if I really need it or not. Thanks!
great video ...i have 2 doors and was told i can program both doors to one module. Assuming this is correct, i am guessing rinse and repeat for both doors. Can anyone confirm?
Question: Looked at the manual and it is unclear, do the buttons on the front of the Hub marked for Door 1 and Door 2 function as an opener?
Right at the last you mentioned LTE or 5G connection but I did not understand how this works with WiFi? Also does the app warn about when to change battery?
Best part of this, is DING DONG!
Haha thanks
Hi, great video! What size and type of screws and anchor do you need?
They come with the product. You don’t have to order separately
Can you open door partially with myQ ?
Can you use this on any garage opener?
How do you get rid of the alarm when closing the garage door?
Hi, do i need a hub or garage door opener even if my opener has myq logo??
Does the hub have to be in the garage?
What are the buttons for on the MyQ hub?
Love the old version
Very informative. Velcro stick-ons in the garage? Come on MyQ....
So I just learned that if my opener has the MyQ logo on it, all I need is the app & dont have to buy the "MyQ garage door opener by Chamberlain. ". Would this be correct?
By installing that will that unprogram my 2 garage door clickers?
do you have to conect to the garage opener?
Question. Does the hub need to be on the ceiling? I saw a lot of people do that but you just mentioned "6ft above the ground". So wall works as well?
Yes the way works perfectly fine.
Interesting, I just put a chamberlain in last night. It says it is blue tooth and wifi, and tells me to download the MyQ, buuuuttt...I did not get that device you just installed. Now I need to read more!!!
did you connect to a 2.5 or 5 Ghz? with the app..
If you have dedicated garage door openers. Do they have to be reprogrammed at the same time you are programming the app? Or do they remain unaffected?
They remain unaffected if you program the myG right
Unaffected unless you hold the program button on the opener too long, which could wipe out all devices.
Tried pairing last night to my liftmaster motor. Couldn’t get it to pair. Tired all the learning button colors on the app and failed. Will be retuning this item today.
Does adding the MyQ system override the factory provided keypad, or remotes?
Not if you do it right. It won’t reset the keypad but it might reset the remote.
can I mount hub on ceiling
Can I pair a Ryobi?
My security system requires I use 2.4Ghz, will this also work ?
Great job!!! Unfortunately my craftsman won't work!
Does the hub needs to be facing the sensor? Same height level, facing each other without obstructions. Or, can have be installed on side wall?
Did you get an answer? This is my question as well. Thanks.
Can I connect this to Google home app?
Does it work with Genie?
Do you really need to mount the hub? Is it necessary?
Thank you for posting this “how to”
No problem. Thanks for watching
I have 2 doors. Can the app support 2?
Does this work with Alexa or Google Assistant?
Hello, I have an international router and my garage is around 100 feet from my home. Will I be able to use this device? In the garage, there is no internet signal. Or am I just being stupid and don't get how this works?
i notice that if you closed your garage door it will have sensor sound - so how can you turn it off?
Ding dong. Ding dong. Hillarious.
Haha
Is there a paid subscription required and does it make a alert beeping noise when closing?
No subscription required and yes it does make a beep
Where did you put the sensor? on garage door? Thank you.
On the top panel.
Does the sensor have to be on the right or left of the garage door? can it be in the middle?
It can be in the middle, right or left
Was looking for this answer. Thanks!
I just installed mine recently. I wish the programming was as easy as the demo here! It took me over 3 hours from unboxing to operation! Lots of glitches encountered. Had to find phone # to Chamberlain and call tech support because my app kept rejecting my wifi password! He had me do a back door setup to get the password to work. He admitted there must be a bug in the app preventing me from entering my wifi password! THEN, try to pair the opener to the hub! OMG! Almost gave up because the app kept saying my machine was not compatible and I could only use it to find out if my door was opened or closed! Not having that! My Genie has a program button, but it's black. The LED indicator lights are buried deep inside the machine, so nothing like the instructions say. + the button has to be HELD down for over 2 seconds! NOT a doorbell press. AND, I had to have a hand held car remote on top of that! Had to go through setup over and over and over again until, like an hour later...Finally paired! Now, it sorta works, the the built-in LED light does NOT flash when I hit close on the app! What a mess! So, beware, it is a bear.
I thought you had to register the sensor and the hub by scanning the barcode or enter manually? I had to do with mines..
I didn’t have to do that
Can you still use the garage door opener in conjunction with the app?
Yes you can. 👍🏻
I have question. In case wifi is down or battery inside of sensor is dead, will the door still open by using original remote control? Or once everything get paired, you can only open garage door with myQ app?
You can also use the regular remote if you don’t accidentally unprogrammed when u setup the myQ. They send you a reminder email telling u to switch out your batter on the sensor btw.
How do you make sure you don’t accidentally make that mistake?
Can you use different phones on one garage controller?
Yes
Hmmm, interestingly enough, it's not the same steps to reconnect if you ever reprogram your garage door opener. At the 00:06:08 mark of your video, these steps vary if the device has been removed from the garage door opener's old program setting.
I am going to see if it is possible to do a factory reset on the Q Hub, uninstall the app from the iPhone too, and treat this as if it was a brand new instalation. Let's see if this will allow me to reconnect successfully back onto my WiFi network.
Thanks for your video, it's better than than what the Q Hub folks have up on their troubleshooting videos, LOL.
Mine will start to open maybe a couple inches and stop. Same with trying to close the door
How many users can control from the app ? In their own Smartphones.
So when you pair the myQ to garage opener, my homelink and remote we used prior to myQ, stopped working. Anyone else run into this? Is there a solution?
Pair with Alexa?
Does it require a subscription ? Some reviews are saying needs subscription
No it doesn’t. I don’t have a subscription and it works fine.
Just installed mine (great instructions)... turns out the unit is pretty useless though. Doesn't allow Alexa integration... and pretty much just allows you to open and close the garage door using your phone instead of the remote on the visor in your car.... sooooo... a lot of work, just to be able to do what you can do with the remote. As far as "Well, it tells you if the door is open or not"... I have a camera in the garage that tells me that. Heard Simple Command would allow you to control your garage with Alexa... but they went out of business and are no more. So, great instructions... was easy to install... just a completely usless device.
