      The main difference would be "Compatible with Apple Homekit".

      • capslock janitor on 07/10/2023 - 21:00

        is apple homekit compatibibly proprietary or something?
        so the regular one doesnt work with Hey Siri ?

  • maddy-sa on 07/10/2023 - 00:16

    Guess I can save a few dollars as I am not a home kit user. Cheers! @RichardL

      That doesn't look like it does HomeKit either though?

    Has anyone used the “Wi-Fi Relay WLAN Switch Module”? Are they any good?

    • Yolo4Days on 07/10/2023 - 02:10
      +1

      Yes, got them installed a few days ago by an electrician. Works perfectly from their own app and Homekit

      • makebei on 07/10/2023 - 03:07
        +1

        Thanks!

        Do you know if it works with two way switches?
        Do you know if you can install multiple of them in one switch hole. (E.g. 2 , 3 or 4 gang?)

  • Yolo4Days on 07/10/2023 - 08:02
    +1

    Yes they work on two way and one way switches. And yes, you can install multiple on 2 or more gang switches. I have four installed behind one as they control four different lights. Just set them up one at a time otherwise adding them to their app and HomeKit might fail.

    • makebei on 07/10/2023 - 11:39

      Thanks for the info. Really helpful.

    • makebei on 07/10/2023 - 12:43

      Sorry. One more question. For the two-way switches did you have to buy a relay for each switch or do you only need one?

      • Yolo4Days on 11/10/2023 - 21:06
        +1

        For both two-way and one-way you only need one, since it only needs to control one end.

        • makebei on 13/10/2023 - 12:35

          I had the electrician come around today.

          Simple wiring seems to work great.

          With the two-way it seems that it works mostly. Although I believe one of the switches has to always be in the on position to be controlled by the app. (Does yours work this way also?) The electrician said he could install a second relay on the other side so that it would always work, but it might be a bit weird with two switches (e.g. having to turn them both on to be on?… Maybe could setup automations for this).

          I also had him try and install it behind a fan switch which has speeds 0 - off, 3 - slow, 2 - medium, 1 - fast. Was hoping it could control on-off and then the fan switch could control the speeds, but it doesn't work that way. When we turned it on it would be on full speed. Probably need a different device for doing fan's. Not sure if 4 relays would work for a fan.

          • Yolo4Days on 13/10/2023 - 12:54

            @makebei: Great, no mine works with both physical switches in the off position as well. It might have something to do with the wiring of these switches, perhaps?

            WIth the fan, I haven't tested so this is all handy to know thanks.

  • cletus75 on 07/10/2023 - 08:05
    +1

    I'm on my second one of these and am a fan - great service. The first failed after a power surge that took out a number of my devices - emailed Meross, they responded in a few hours, had me do one or two test and the replacement was in a courier bag later that day. Can't fault that.

  • drinkin-beer on 07/10/2023 - 08:31

    I have one, it's very good for the price. The meross app is garbage though. I set mine up in Home assistant and it is much more reliable.

  • Domingo on 07/10/2023 - 09:23

    I'm having a lot of trouble with mine becoming non-responsive, which seems to be an issue with Unifi APs and the Meross Garage Door openers. Great when it works though.

    • noisymime on 07/10/2023 - 09:36

      Thanks for posting this, think I'll look for another option if that's the case.

    • themadman on 07/10/2023 - 10:24

      FWIW I'm also using Unifi gear and had no issues at all since I bought it 6 months ago.

    • Pistoll on 07/10/2023 - 16:38

      I've had problems with these smart devices when they only support 2.4GHz because my network is a single SSID for 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Banning the mac address from the 5GHz network solved the problem.

      • Domingo on 07/10/2023 - 16:50
        +1

        I have it connected to dedicated IOT VLAN on a 2.4ghz only SSID and still have the issue.

        Locking it to a specific AP and locking that AP to ch2 has helped a bit, but it still isn't flawless.

        There are numerous people on the Unifi forums and Reddit reporting the same issue, seems to have occured one of the unifi firmware upgrades in the last few years.

        • DiSTURBED-oNE on 09/10/2023 - 14:31

          Ch2 is an overlapping channel, bad idea.

          2.4 should always be 1, 6 or 11.
          2.4 should also only ever have a channel width of 20.

          • Domingo on 09/10/2023 - 18:42

            @DiSTURBED-oNE: Thank you for the general best practice WiFi advice.

            I am doing what multiple people experiencing the issue that I am experiencing with a similar WiFi setup to me have suggested as a temporary work around for an issue that seems to be in Unifi's firmware. It has improved the reliability of the device by some margin.

            For what it is worth I had previously tried ch 1 and the issue was still occuring regularly. There seems to be some funky interaction going on at a low level, as per the forum post I linked to a numerous others.

  • billadm on 07/10/2023 - 09:31

    Excuse me if this is a dumb question, my garage's door already has a remote so why would I buy this smart one?

      Also, if you have CarPlay, a garage door button shows on the screen when you get close to home.

      • derdew on 07/10/2023 - 11:24

        and tell Siri to open/close it

      • PleasureMachine on 10/10/2023 - 15:41

        Is there a similar function for Android Auto?

        • PleasureMachine on 31/10/2023 - 13:02

          Trialled with my install this morning using voice recognition for AA. While there is no specific garage button like on CarPlay, I just use the voice prompt "Hey Google Open Garage Door" which surprisingly worked well (with a follow up CODE prompt approval entered via voice too).

          Not that I can park in the garage right now anyway, but it's nice to know it's possible.

    • tumor on 07/10/2023 - 10:16

      I like having notifications when the door opens or closes. Also a notification if it's been left open for 15minutes.

      Piece of mind when I have that niggling thought of 'oh shit did I close it'.

      Also being able to control it via the phone and the keyless car I drive pretty much means no more keys.

      • D3m3ntia on 07/10/2023 - 11:05

        Which piece of your mind did it give you?

    • sumyungguy on 07/10/2023 - 12:38

      If you have multiple users they can open with their phones, cheaper than buying more remotes.

    • Matt P on 07/10/2023 - 16:03

      For my garage door, its one of the latest B&D ones which doesn't really have an option for cheap aftermarket remotes. This costs the same as another remote so i'm going to grab it

  • beany155 on 07/10/2023 - 11:44

    I have one that is not compatible with my garage door if anyone wants to make a reasonable offer to me

  • idonteven on 07/10/2023 - 12:28

    I've got a Merlin garage door. How do I know if it's compatible with mine?

    • node modules on 07/10/2023 - 12:37

      There’s a link to a pdf on the product’s listing page.

    • timmof on 07/10/2023 - 14:21
      +1

      Works with my Merlin. Connects to the terminals where you connected a wired remote switch. Basically closes that circuit, which triggers the door to close.

      I think I had to increase the “opening time” setting in the app to 30 secs based on another ozbarginer’s suggestion. Been faultless since.

  • capslock janitor on 07/10/2023 - 13:07

    Why wouldn't I get this smart bulb instead with party Music sync/feature?

  • DeeTrance on 07/10/2023 - 13:50

    Works good, but the supplied magnetic sensor is complete rubbish.

    • timmof on 07/10/2023 - 14:22

      How so? Mine works ok…. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      • DeeTrance on 07/10/2023 - 16:10

        Works, but only if you put them within 2mm of each other. Otherwise it fails. This made it impossible to practically install on my garage door. I threw them in the bin.

        • timmof on 07/10/2023 - 17:57

          Bugger. Mine seems to work with a bigger gap than that.

        • AbhiC on 09/10/2023 - 01:17

          Oh no.. mind was dropped and it broke. I emailed their customer support for spare one but they don’t sell it.

    • devisticshash on 07/10/2023 - 21:41

      Mine works and I've got one of those compact roller garage doors with indented lines running horizontally across the door. It took some effort but it's all about trial and error and my gap is definitely larger than 2mm, more like 2-4cm.

  • csi-lk on 07/10/2023 - 15:02

    Set one of these up recently, works great

  • dizzie131 on 07/10/2023 - 15:56

    Do these work with Google Wifi?
    Other HomeKit devices just don’t work on Google Wifi(LIFX).
    I assume this is due to the fact that 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz are broadcasted with the same network name.

    • timbo83 on 07/10/2023 - 20:12

      Yes, i ran it with google wifi with no issues.

      • BuzzzLightyear on 01/11/2023 - 22:42

        @timbo83, is your Meross Garage opener on 2.4 GHz?

  • kcirvam on 07/10/2023 - 16:51

    got the Garage opener on the last sale, easy enough to install. Super handy not needing remote or keys to leave the house

  • Chael Sonnen on 07/10/2023 - 21:29

    Has anyone managed to get this working with an Avanti/Centurion unit?

    I've got an Avanti MPS12 and it seems from a few forums that it's possible, but no one ever provides which terminals to connect to.

  • muddrex on 08/10/2023 - 01:28

    Got this a few years ago. Works great with no issue. The only thing you may need to do is to change the timeout setting to be a bit longer.

  • asian bargain hunter on 08/10/2023 - 10:27

    Jusy wondering how do you actually connect the wires to the garage unit. Every youtube video i find they just say connect to this and that but never show the process or skip the video after its connected. Also does the exisitng garage remote control still work once u install the smart controller

    • lomie on 08/10/2023 - 15:40

      Read the user manual for your garage door opener. It will show which terminals to connect a wired switch to.

    • sumyungguy on 08/10/2023 - 15:52

      They're likely to be screw terminals - and your existing remotes will still work. The terminals for the Meross are the same ones you would use for a hard-wired garage wall switch.

  • Arronaj on 08/10/2023 - 13:36

    I just bought this after considering it for a while to replace my RM4 Pro which I have setup in Home Assistant and can operate via Siri/Google. I recently accidentally triggered my garage to open when I was interstate when describing how it worked, which was a bit of a spook for the house sitters, so knowing the current open/close state is a big plus for me. Also the simplicity of a hard wired local device.

  • caitsith01 on 08/10/2023 - 21:43

    Be warned, Google home makes you use a pin with this rendering it borderline useless IMHO.

    • Domingo on 09/10/2023 - 18:43

      Alexa requires a pin to open it, but not to close it. Makes sense so someone can't stand at your window while you're out and yell at your device to gain access to your home. It essentially treats the device as a lock, employing the same security approach it would for a smart lock on your front door.

      • caitsith01 on 30/10/2023 - 14:29

        Makes sense for voice, but it doesn't make sense for within Google Home which you already have to log into as well as accessing your phone.

    • PleasureMachine on 30/10/2023 - 09:26

      I just hooked it up. Yes it asks for the PIN, but it is one extra step, so not sure how that makes it useless by being delayed by 5 secs. You just say the CODE and it works.

      I hooked it all up on the weekend and tested it, and it's been great addition to the smart eco-system…..now running 4 different brands FML.

      • sumyungguy on 30/10/2023 - 13:12

        I’m running Meross, Cygnett, IKEA, SmartThings, LIFX, Hue & Arlo in HomeKit. Everything works fine.

      • caitsith01 on 30/10/2023 - 14:29
        +1

        I find it extremely annoying, not to mention speech recognition + PIN is a recipe for errors. I want it to be my choice as to whether I can just touch the button on my phone once to open the door (which is how my actual remote works, obviously).

        I mean… I get the PIN for voice commands which I guess an enterprising burglar could yell from outside, but why do you need a PIN to make it work from within the app? The app on my phone is more secure than the garage remote which, like most people, I leave lying around randomly.

        • PleasureMachine on 31/10/2023 - 13:14

          Yeah true. I think I'm just in honeymoon period to have something new like that that works for me. It won't take me long to start getting annoyed with it.

          Agree with your logic that the phone on one's persons, should be more "secure"….and google assistant seems to voice match to an extent as well.
