Smart Garage Door Opener – Universal WiFi Remote Controller Compatible with Alexa, Google Home, iPhone, Siri, Android, Door Left Open Alert, Door Security Systems, Updated Model

Great opener that works with all smart device set ups
I had purchased this opener as my second choice as my first one did not work well with my Google Home + iPhone set up. The eKyro opener is far superior simply because it works with the Smart Life app, which works with IOS and Android. Plus the Smart Life app has a CarPlay integration. So it seems that it should work for everyone no matter what devices you own. Plus since Smart Life is an app that works with various smart devices, it means that you likely will have multiple uses for it.My garage door opener is a LiftMaster 8500 wall mount. It is an opener that requires the free accessory in order to work. The accessory is basically a remote control that is connected to the eKyro. When you give the command to open/close the door the eKyro simply sends an electrical signal to the remote with triggers your garage door opener. It is very easy to order the accessory on the eKyro site. And the shipping was very fast. I ordered the at the same time as I ordered the opener on Amazon and they arrived within a day of eachother.The opener comes with an instruction book. This device is very easy to set up. And eKyro provides very clear video instructions (easily accessed from a QR code in the instructions book). They provide instructions for adding the device to Smart Life, installing the opener, and creating scenes in Smart Life.Initially the opener was not working for me. Because I could hear the click, I knew it was receiving the signal to open/close. But it wasn’t transmitting it to the accessory. After multiple attempts to make a good connection between the opener and accessory, I ended up email eKyro customer support.Their customer support is absolutely stellar. Their response time is super fast. The initial suggestions to trouble shoot did not work. So they quickly offered to send me a replacement opener. That opener arrived very fast. Unfortunately, I had the same issue with it. But, they were able to confirm that they had tested it before sending it and knew that it did work.As I said the issue was with the connection between the opener and the accessory. No matter how I tried, I was not able to make a good connection with the wire connection terminal that came with the accessory. It was a bit odd. But in the end, I ended up using twist wire caps to connect the opener to the accessory and that solved the problem.Now I am able to easily open/close my garage door via voice command to my google home speaker or by tapping the button in my Google Home app, Smart Life app, or on my car’s touch screen in CarPlay.I cannot give their customer support enough praise. The response time, patience, and eagerness to help was unexpected and uncommon. If you are in the market for a smart garage door opener, this is the one that you should get!

How to make a dumb door smart
January 2023, I have a 10 year old Chamberlain MyQ door opener.Works great and no where near obsolescence.Battery backed up type, with the dreaded ‘yellow’ learn button.I wanted to have better control and monitoring of the door, so I looked into WiFi connected upgrades.Chamberlain was ignorant and unsupportive as to their upgrade for this model opener…they could not give me a yes or no if it would work. So I kept on looking at the various make and models of WiFi interfaces available. The awesome power of the Amazon…Then I came across eKyro. At first I was suspicious of the low cost, but at least they EXPLAINED the differences between opener brands/models, and how their WiFi control module can work with almost any of them.They also, and more importantly, have a website that actively aids in determining if their module will work with your model opener, and offer an adapter to make pretty much any model opener work with their control module. Note that the adapter (at this time of writing) is FREE -if you need it for your particular make/model/vintage door opener.You must request it via their website and submit your amazon order # to get it.The usual quick delivery of both items, although the adapter was direct from eKyro -and free shipping.InstallationAmerican English instructions and fairly well documented (text and pictorial) in the included paperwork, but also on Utube.Simple install. It took me longer to install the door open/closed sensor, than to wire the module to the door opener. I struggled with the app on my iPhone 6 getting it to WiFi pair to my local network, but it was because I was dense, not due to eKyro.Curiously, before I started the install, eKyro contacted me via amazon to ask how the install was going.I admitted stupidity and they kindly directed me to the ‘alternate’ method and utube tutorials.Kudos due because that kind of after sale support is rare these days.Shortly after that I completed the install, pairing/functional testing of the system, but only after some careful technical review, I realized the mistakes I made and got everything going.I am tech savvy…shame on me.Your mileage may vary, but eKyro will actively help you through any difficulty.The appSimple download/install. A little funky navigating within but I guess that is an extension of the programmer(s). The app is capable of operating numerous IoT gadgets. Long list…I suppose that it great for the future.I will not be using it with siri, alexa or other AI stuff, so I cannot comment on that.Flexible/configurable. I dont know yet if it tries to connect with servers in China or elsewhere.Overall, a very positive experience. I hope this stuff lasts the test of time.Dependability and durability is the name of this game.Judging from the innards of the adapter module, I can say the electronics are of high quality and workmaship.Excellent value! On a skill scale of 1 to 10 to integrate to your system(s) a 4.
