meross Smart WiFi Garage Door Opener Remote, App Control, Works with Alexa, Google Assistant and SmartThings, No Hub Needed（Non HomeKit Versions）

All to often, my wife calls me after she leaves the house to check if she closed he garage door. It's always closed, but I still have to check, so I looked into turning my opener into a smart opener so she could check by herself. After eliminating any device that requires a subscription, the Meross Smart Garage Door Opener emerged as the potential best choice for me and since the price was right, I bought three, one for each door. For some reason, I thought they would be a little larger but they are nice and compact. They arrived quickly and were packaged very well, with three boxes inside the larger (but still small) box, each containing a piece of the puzzle, opener unit, door sensor and cable, and installation accessories (not many). If you're at all handy, installation is pretty easy and straightforward. First plug in the unit (USB powered, adapter and cable provided) and the Meross app and it will connect to your wifi and walk you through the installation process. First one took about an hour, the other two, about 20 minutes each. A few installation tips (I have Marantec openers, yes I had never heard of them before either, but they came with the house and Meross said they are compatible, which they are): * I added a pigtail to the wires that connect to my opener just to give me a little more wiggle room and make it a bit easier. * Have a lot of zip ties around. They provide one, I guess to tie down the unit but I had to zip tie everything near the opener because there were a lot of wires (I also use the opener outlets to power security cameras) and the sensor wire is VERY long (had to coil up more than ten feet). I used 5 inch and 8 inch ties. Didn't need anything larger. * Comes with double stick tape for the sensors, but I also screwed them in, just because (screws are provided). * No special tools needed and if you don't pigtail the connection wires, I'm not sure any tools are needed (other than a ladder, and maybe something to snip the tails off the zip ties). I like the app as well. Somewhat basic but easy to use. Can set up notifications when the door opens/closes, is open for more than a specified period of time (mine is set for 30 minutes), or is open after a certain time (I'm set for 9:00 PM). It will also close the door after a certain length of time (I have this turned off), or after a set time (10:00 PM for me). You can set it to beep when it's closing the door (turned off). Says it works with Alexa , Google Assistant, and optionally, Apple HomeKit but I don't use any of these as I figure there are enough things listening to me already, so I can't comment on those. Also, I've only had it for a short time so can't comment on any longer term issues that may arise, but I'll update this review if necessary. I'm very impressed and if/when I do decide to automate more, I'll look into additional Meross options. To me, it does all I need it to do.

So far so good. I need to have reliable smart-device based garage door opener. I use the Apple eco-system and Homekit, combined with a Homebridge setup, and my priority is to have a smart-connection so I can ask Siri to open the door with my motorcycle communicator (I have Cardo Packtalk Edge) so I can easily park it. First, I had a myQ. I dumped it because they want a subscription to allow smart-home access. For the next few years I went with Aladdin Genie. They are free for smart-home functionality, but since I had that, I had NONSTOP issues with that. It didn't want to connect to my router from inside the house (I have a separated garage, so there is distance between router and the garage connected to the alleyway behind my house.) It would see my wifi, but just blink that it still had connectivity issues. So I got a more powerful router and that thing has no trouble connecting to anything in my garage... except that Aladdin unit. Then I got a repeater in the garage. That had no issues connecting to my router and still, the Aladdin unit had issues even with that. I gave up on the Aladdin when I got locked out of my own garage. It decided to just not connect to the app. Very weird too, it was disconnected right around 3pm, but when I got home at 1am after work, it worked. Maybe they had server issues, but then again, they don't send any emails saying there will be issues. And it happened Monday, Tuesday, then Wednesday. Not very convenient. Now after all that, I did my research and landed on this. The online community who knows Apple Homekit seemed to recommend Meross, and I never heard of them before, and I decided to give it a try. I got the unit and I watched a couple YouTube videos, followed the included instructions, and I had this device up and running in about 30-40 minutes, including tie-wrapping the cables and securing the device. After a few adjustments, learning some functionality in the app (like disabling doors 2 and 3 so Homekit doesn't access them for now, as I only have 1 garage door opener for a 2-car garage) I'm happy to say that this device works great. ZERO connectivity issues so far as my router and my repeater show full strength connection (the Aladdin did too so I'm assuming its on their end). The moment I "flip the switch" in Apple Home, or press the button in Carplay, the garage door opens and closes near instantly. My garage door opener is at LEAST 20 years old and to get it connected, it was just two wires. There is a compatibility list for openers on Meross's webpage so check BEFORE you buy. Because its wired to my garage door, theres no "learning" required and no button to push like an in-car garage door opener. The only thing I liked with the Aladdin device (when it did work) and the myQ was when a signal was sent to open or close the door, or if an automation kicked in (I had a requirement to shut the door after 30 minutes being open,) they had a bright white warning light flasher to indicate the door was about to move, since you didn't push any buttons. Meross's device DOES NOT have that, so if you setup an automation similar to mine, the door will immediately respond without warning. Also, It is important that if you tinker with the wiring, which you likely will be, to verify that you did not disconnect or cause your garage door obstruction safety system to be disabled. Another plus that I have with the Meross is its open/close sensor, which appears to be magnet based. You run the line from the Meross box to the garage door. I have mine at the top corner to my door along the wall, with the additional magnet also right next to it on the door itself. Very similar to window security systems. When you setup your app, it'll go into detail to verify the system is working by using these sensors. What I LOVE about this is that it is not battery based. The Aladdin and myQ used a button-battery-based sensor you stuck to the door which needed to be replaced after a year or two. Not necessary with the Meross thankfully. In fact, the other disadvantage I had with the battery sensor was in winter when the door was very cold as it gave poor performance. And if the battery sensor failed or disconnected due to a dead-battery, or a frozen battery, those garage door openers also failed because it couldn't tell if the door was opened or closed. Thankfully not the case with the Meross. I certainly recommend this unit, especially for people with more than one garage door. I may only have one opener but I know that when I replace that door and add a second opener for that, all I have to do is run another sensor line for that door similar to the way I did my current door and that this package ("meross Smart Garage Door Opener Remote with External Antenna" in case Amazon links this review with other Meross stuff) already comes with that expandability (up to 2 doors out of the box, if you have a 3rd garage door, you need another sensor cable add-on.)

Great product. I've owned many meross products over the years - smart indoor plugs, smart outdoor plugs, and smart water leak detectors. They have all worked very well with Apple HomeKit. Truly easy plug-n-play technology. When meross asked me to test this product, I was more than happy to oblige. The device is small (about the size of two packs of cards) and weighs next to nothing. You can use it to control one garage door opener. I believe meross has a version that can control multiple garage door openers too, but this only controls one. This device transforms your simple garage door opener into a smart garage door opener which gives you the advantage of opening remotely, getting notifications when it opens or closes, and allowing your garage door to be a part of whole-house automations (I use Apple Shortcuts to close the door at a certain time every night - just in case I forget after a long day). It took me only ten minutes to do the initial set up. An additional ten minutes were needed to tidy up my work (stapling up wires and securing them with cable ties). Fortunately, I did have a free electrical outlet near the garage door opener. Then it's just hooking up two wires and running a wire with the door-open/close detector to the garage door. The hardest part was getting HomeKit set up. You must have your phone on a 2.4GHz network (my Orbi has a separate one for the internet-of-things) and be within range. After three tries, I got the device set up (I don't think this was the fault of the meross device but rather my network or my iPhone). It's been over a week now (I recorded the video on day one). And the performance is solid. What's great is I can now open the garage door halfway down the street. This means the door will be open when I get to my house - no waiting in the car. Also, HomeKit lets you know when the door has been opened or closed. No more pulling out of the neighborhood and wondering if I closed the door or not anymore. And because I can now open the door anywhere, when my teenager came home early without their key the other day, I was able to open the garage door remotely from work. I can see this coming in handy when receiving deliveries from Amazon too. I hope you found this review useful. Thanks!

Pretty good! Set up flow in app easy to follow and well documented, lots of photos to follow along. Works with Apple home and Google Home. Then ask for my phone number, but still support authentication using TOTP. The only complaint I have is that it doesn’t stop the garage door from opening if I press the button while the garage door is being opened for my LiftMaster.

Anything you're adding to a door opener could be a challenge if you don't understand how the opener works. This little device connects where the wall button connects. Most of the time this means that if you were to take a wire and just loop from each of the two connection points on the opener, that usually will cause the opener to operate, opening/closing the door. This device does basically that. It jumps the two contacts and causes the opener to operate. The kit includes a small jumper wire to try jumping these 2 connections to test if your opener is compatible. If your opener doesn't operate when trying to jump these, you'll need their accessory kit. The kit is just a car remote with wires soldered to it for a permanent connection. You pair the remote to your opener and splice the wire to the Meross. Then the Meross acts like a "person" pushing that car remote button whenever the app/HomeKit tells it to operate the door. For HomeKit integration it goes one step further and adds a sensor so HomeKit can report if the door is open or closed. Without the sensor, the device doesn't have anyway of knowing if the door is open or closed. It is just toggling between two states. Keeping track of the state does allow for some knowledge if it's open or closed but not as reliable as a sensor is. Some of poor reviews here have mentioned the door operating by itself. I think this is probably due to a connection issue. The push in wire connectors on most garage doors aren't designed to hold 2 wires at the same time. They will if the 2 wires are the same gauge (diameter). This allows the small spring mechanism to grip both wires equally. The problem comes in when you add the wire for the Meross and it's not the same diameter (gauge) as the wiring on your opener. This leads to a loose connection. If you find your door opening on it's own, check this connection. If you can pull either the button wire or the Meross wire out of the opener, you have a bad connection. This momentary connection causes the opener to operate. I ended up having to "pig-tail" the button wire and the Meross wire, by splicing these together and then running a single wire into each connection on the opener. I soldered these since my opener, Liftmaster 885PLM doesn't have much space inside the cover for a wire nut. This gave a solid connection to both the wall control and the Meross. So if you end up with your door opening/closing on it's own, try splicing these and running a single wire into each of the 2 connection points. With the wiring squared away I ran into another issue. My opener has a "fancy" wall control with a digital display; clock, temperature, motion sensor. Every-time Meross operated the door the wall control would lose power and reset, loosing the clock and going back to a blinking 12 display. In the Meross app there is a setting for the "duration". This is how long the Meross holds it's connection between the 2 points the wiring is tied to. Setting this to "short" instead of the default fixed this issue. The wall control backlight still dims as the Meross operates but it's quick enough that the wall control doesn't reset or loose any settings.

I bought one of these in Nov 2025 to retrofit my older Genie garage door opener to allow me to open and close the door remotely, and on the rare occasion I forgot, to close it for me automatically at night. I did all the testing and everything checked out. I followed the instructions to install it, and things looked good. I could now go for a walk without taking keys, and open the garage with my phone when I got home. But I did notice the status (open, closed) was sometimes wrong, saying the opposite of what was actually the case. Then I found the garage door inexplicably open a couple of times when I thought it had been closed, and then while standing in the kitchen I heard it opening by itself. I did some research and found I wasn’t alone in having this issue, but we were going to be out of town for a while so I just unplugged it and went back to dumb – but safe – garage door opener. I came back around to looking at this recently, and after some additional research, thought the possibilities were a too-weak Wi-Fi signal in the garage, or interference with the door sensor. I bought a network access point for the garage and gave it a unique name, so there was no confusing which network the device weas connected to. Then, even though I had mounted the sensor per instructions the last time, I removed the door-mounted side, and put another layer of rubber underneath it, to insulate it from the metal door further. I plugged the unit back in, and went to the app. There was the old setup, and when I tapped on it, the door opened, but from that point on, nothing worked right. I could not find a way to edit the device settings, or to remove it, so I eventually uninstalled the app and started over. After signing in, and putting the opener in pairing mode, the app found the opener and walked me through the setup, including connecting to the new Wi-Fi node in the garage. After finishing the set-up, I tapped on the opener and the garage door opened. I thought maybe I was now in business. But the status continued to say “Closed”, and now tapping on the device did nothing except after a wait to render the helpful message “Request timed out”. Again, no way to access any setting or information about the device, and no way to get it to open or close. It continued to say “Closed”, while it was clearly “Open”. That’s enough for me. Not trying anything else, except maybe another brand. An opener that can’t reliable tell if it’s open or closed is a huge risk, and a device that can’t tell me when I’m away what is going on, or let me do something about it, won’t work.

I successfully installed the MSG100HK on my Overhead Door Model 7030. Following your instructions, I performed the short-circuit test on the BWC terminals (3 and 4), and the garage door responded correctly. After connecting the Meross controller to those same terminals, everything worked perfectly. The device is now fully installed, connected to Apple HomeKit, and I can control my garage door with Siri without any issues.

I was initially skeptical because it seemed pretty complicated. The instructions that come with the product are helpful. Still, you’re probably better off searching for installation videos on YouTube. Once you do that, the installation should be easy, and the device works well with my two-car garage. I believe the sensor cable lengths are enough. Just keep in mind that the unit includes cables for only two garage doors. If you need a third one, you should contact the company. Also, if you have a non-compatible garage door opener, don’t worry, because the company says they will send you an adapter kit or something similar. Overall, I installed it using only Apple HomeKit without downloading the manufacturer's app, and it works perfectly, so I definitely recommend getting this to upgrade your standard garage door opener to something more modern. You don’t have to worry about the battery life because it’s hardwired. The signal strength is excellent. The voice control with Siri can be a little inconsistent, as it will ask you which garage door to open, even though you specifically told it to open one by name. I don’t know about the durability since I just installed it yesterday, but so far, so good. In summary, yes, I’m happy with this purchase, and I highly recommend it.

Ich nutze den Meross Garagentoröffner und bin rundum zufrieden. Die Installation war wirklich unkompliziert, alles wurde in der App super erklärt und Schritt für Schritt geführt – da kommt man auch ohne Technikkenntnisse definitiv zurecht. Besonders begeistert bin ich von der HomeKit-Integration. Ich kann mein Garagentor jetzt bequem per Sprachbefehl steuern, bekomme Benachrichtigungen, wenn es geöffnet oder geschlossen wird, und sehe jederzeit den aktuellen Status. In der Meross App kann man natürlich auch das Tor steuern, sowie Öffnungzeiten und Alarme für ein offen stehendes Tor einstellen. Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt: Der Reed-Kontakt ist etwas fummelig am Garagentor zu befestigen. Mit etwas Fummeln klappt’s aber auch. Insgesamt ein super Gerät – klare Empfehlung für alle, die ihr Garagentor smart machen wollen, vor allem mit Home-Kit Integration.
