  • Remote and Voice Control: You can turn garage door on/off from anywhere with internet via the Meross app. Or control your devices hands free, just give voice commands to turn on/off the connected devices.

    I wish there was a way to upgrade the non homekit version to homekit without having to buy more units 😫

      You could use HomeAssistant with HomeBridge that would do it, but it's not as seamless and can lead to issues if your HAOS crashes. But an option!

        It's an option, On the whole Home Assistant is very stable… I use all my ZHA lights this way.

        Homekit Device, not Homekit Bridge.

    I have it and it works great.
    The only downside to this is my wife now knows when I leave the house.

    • OhNoUShiz on 18/03/2024 - 10:14

      Or anyone driving into your garage not wanting to be seen.

    Have had one for nearly 2 years, it's a good unit, cannot fault it. But if you have this and connects to Google Home etc, just make sure there are no Google Assistant near a window or inside your garage, as randoms can try to open your garage door from outside the house.

    • JSONBourne on 18/03/2024 - 10:16

      Agree! I have a HomePod Mini and I thought the exact same thing but I think you can deactivate that. But I still feel it's far more secure than a standard remote.

      • Commodore64 on 18/03/2024 - 10:20

        Apple actually requires it be personally identified.
        For instance a phone request to Siri will require you to unlock your phone.
        If using Apple Watch then it will work ok.

        I haven't tried HomePod, but I think it would require your phone to be unlocked too.

        • Brobert on 18/03/2024 - 10:34
          +1

          You can't open it with homepod, if you try it tells you to do it on your phone (though it does send a notification to your phone when you try).

          • JSONBourne on 18/03/2024 - 10:51

            @Brobert: Great to know! Seems quite secure then. Hasn't been a worry for me though.

    • dtingy on 18/03/2024 - 11:53

      I have this linked to alexa. It can close the garage door with any voice command. But to open the garage door it requires voice password unless the random people know your voice password.

    • PuppieWayne on 18/03/2024 - 12:25

    I’ve had mine installed for two years now and it has worked flawlessly. Meross support is great, they sent me instructions on how to wire it for my particular garage opener.

    I love how it comes up on Apple carplay as you are driving up to your house.

    • muddrex on 18/03/2024 - 10:23

      Yes, I completely agree that it works great and also being integrated with CarPlay.

    • jasonc on 18/03/2024 - 12:30

      my wife would love that. any links on how to get that to happen?

  • clartan2015 on 18/03/2024 - 10:30

    anybody tried this on B&D garage? Cheers

    • clartan2015 on 18/03/2024 - 10:34

      ah just found in amazon, seems its compatible

  • bigmacmclean on 18/03/2024 - 10:34

    Question for people who own it - do the old remotes for the garage still work?

    • coxymla on 18/03/2024 - 10:46

      Yes

    • JSONBourne on 18/03/2024 - 10:49
      +1

      Yes they can, this works as a hardwired switch and supplements the old remote.

  • asmith84 on 18/03/2024 - 10:37

    Have been working great for 6months on old merlin 430r with big remote.

  • xqizit on 18/03/2024 - 10:45

    I remember reading somewhere that you cant open it with siri unless your phone is on the same wifi network.
    Is this the case? I dont own a homepod.

    • coxymla on 18/03/2024 - 10:46
      +2

      Yes, you need a HomePod or AppleTV to act as a "server" in your house if you want to be able to control your home devices over the internet.

    • JSONBourne on 18/03/2024 - 10:50
      +1

      You can do it remotely, you don't need to connect via wifi. But if you want to use Siri and Homekit you require a HomePod Mini/Apple TV. This acts as a 'hub' in your house and speaks to the remote if the phone isn't home.

      If you use the Meross app instead of Homekit you don't need a Homepod, although this doesn't have the Siri integration. I'd pick up a cheap Homepod off marketplace and start building a smart home!

      • xqizit on 18/03/2024 - 14:05

        Is that the same requirement to have a homepod/appletv for carplay too? or does carplay connect to the meross app instead?

        • JSONBourne on 18/03/2024 - 14:33

          You can do it either way, depends on how you want it integrated :) The Meross app works without a Homepod/Homekit hub, just depends on how you want it to work.

        • JSONBourne on 18/03/2024 - 22:42

          Sorry I realised I misread your message. CarPlay requires HomeKit so you’ll need a HomePod or AppleTV to enable that.

  • white3knight on 18/03/2024 - 12:17

    Got this for over a year now…and installed another one on me mates. Works flawlessly.
    Now at times the unit may not work so just turn off and on again and it will work fine. installed a wifi plug instead so anytime I can reset power with lil effort.

    • JSONBourne on 18/03/2024 - 12:59

      Usually this is a DHCP problem with the router not managing long-term IPs well, if you assign it a static IP it should work flawlessly.

    Bought 2 for both my Chamberlain CR655MYQ (Bunnings). Can't see if it's compatible but will flick support an email

    Any alternatives from non Chinese owned companies?

    • JSONBourne on 18/03/2024 - 22:41

      Not that I know of. If it helps you can run this one local only with internet blocked if you use HomeKit. Or via the app via LAN mode if your phone is on the same wifi.

      • gentlekoala5906 on 19/03/2024 - 15:41

        Thanks, blocking internet access is a good compromise

  • Dealzallday on 18/03/2024 - 23:59

    Can this work without wifi?

  • ekwipt on 19/03/2024 - 10:15

    I have one works great, i also have their powerpoint adapters and they all integrate with Homekit even without their app

  • MrrMagic on 19/03/2024 - 10:28

    I have B & D door, and use the google assistant throughout the house, am I fine to get the non homekit version?

    Is homekit for apple?

    • JSONBourne on 19/03/2024 - 10:29

      Yep you'll be fine with the non-Homekit version. Google Home works on the base unit.

      • MrrMagic on 19/03/2024 - 10:30

        Thanks mate

  • nightelves on 19/03/2024 - 10:45

    Do these work well using geo location? Also thinking if this can somehow work with the multi dimmer from Philips Hue.

  • rodpolky on 19/03/2024 - 10:49

    I'm not sure if I need Homekit or not what is the difference?

  • Blaablahblacksheep on 19/03/2024 - 13:11

    Does this show state, door open or door closed?

    • JSONBourne on 19/03/2024 - 13:12

      Yes it does if you install the included Reed Switch

    Got mine delivered today. Set up was straight forward. Half hour to get it all done.

  • BlueGlass on 21/03/2024 - 17:22

    Is there a way to tell if the roller door finishes closing because the unit triggered the sensor?

    I can't figure out if the door is closed because the sense it triggered it or if it just finished closing.

    • JSONBourne on 21/03/2024 - 17:24
      +1

      It has a reed switch included which is what tells the unit if it’s open or closed. It’s not from software. If you’re having issues with the status check the magnets are close to each other and test.

  • Guru1981 on 22/03/2024 - 12:03

    I bought one of these but having troubles using it with Apple Watch. I need to ask Siri 2 or 3 times before garage will open. The first couple of times I get garage has failed to respond. Any ideas?

    • JSONBourne on 22/03/2024 - 12:04

      Sounds like a wifi issue on either your watch or garage opener. Does your garage opener have a static IP set and does it have good range to your router?

      • Guru1981 on 22/03/2024 - 12:08

        I’m not sure about ip address. It has good range as router is on opposite wall.
        Works fine everytime from iPhone using Siri just never works with Apple Watch first time, sometimes takes 4 attempts.
        I have updated firmware on garage opener, Apple Watch and iPhone. Reset garage opener and re setup but still having same issue.

        Would buying an Apple TV or Apple Home pod mini and using this as a hub help do you think?

  • dealmaker on 27/03/2024 - 08:45

    I've seen the wofea garage controllers for ~1/4 of the price of this meross here on Ozbargain and wondering what's the difference between the two? They both seem to boast the same features / functions etc with their own apps too.

  • dealmaker on 27/03/2024 - 09:02

    Found this wofea controller that seems to do the same job? for heaps cheaper, around 12.5 usd. Someone may wish to post it separately. EU plug.
