Hi All,

Long time member but first time poster :-)
I didn’t see this posted yet so figured I’d give it a go.

OzBargains favourite smart garage opener is on sale at 40% off!!

I’ve got this myself and absolutely love it. So easy to setup and use. Highly recommended.

From Amazon:

Compatible with Apple HomeKit, Siri, Amazon Alexa, SmartThings and Google Assistant. To let in your family, guests or couriers through the garage door while you are cooking or not at home. No monthly fee or any other subscription fee!

  • Multiple Notification Modes: Stay alert by different notification modes such as garage door open/ close status, overtime notification and overnight notification to remind you close the garage door. And you can check the garage door open/ close operation records through the APP.

  • More Precise and Stable: It comes with a high sensitivity sensor which monitors the status of garage door more accurate and the signal stays stable. With adapter convert 220v to 5v, much safer.

  • Easy to Install: Installation is much easier than you may think. Pls make sure your wifi strength is acceptable near your garage door.

    • kungfuman on 17/02/2025 - 09:05

      is this compatible with Tesla's homelink?

      • klaw81 on 17/02/2025 - 09:47

        Almost certainly not. HomeLink uses RF signals, so it's much more likely to be compatible with your actual garage door opener (ie as an alternative remote) than a WiFi relay box like this.

      • coxymla on 17/02/2025 - 11:07

        Apple Watch is best, but if you have no desire for one then get a magsafe mount for the vent and then you can yell at siri to open the garage door.

        (other option is to get a carplay unit, but those are fairly expensive and would be overkill just as a garage door opener.)

    I also bought one from last desl and love it.

    Compatibility Check

    Their compatibility check website didn’t list my B&D garage opener. I emailed support but haven’t received a response. If you also can’t find your garage opener, I suggest just downloading their app and proceeding with the setup—the list there is more comprehensive.

              @DJ: I would love to know how to configure it to not require a pin. When using voice commands on my phone to open garage, the phone needs to be unlocked and then I need to state the pin to open. I'm sure my neighbors know my pin code as I shout it into my headphones when I come back from walking the dog every day. I would accept any risk of not having a pin. Just having an unlocked phone is secure enough for my liking. Once in the garage the is a locked door someone would need to get through to gain access to my house

              • pogichinoy on 18/02/2025 - 13:04

                @DoIneedthese: I have the MSG200 model, one up from this one, which is HomeKit compatible.

                You'll either need an Apple iPhone and/or Alexa in order to open it without a pin.

                • Add the garage opener to Meross and HomeKit.
                • On your iPhone in the Shortcuts app, add a shortcut to open the garage with a voice command.
                • Trigger the shortcut with your voice using Siri/Hey Siri command.

                I haven't confirmed this but I read that if you have Alexa at home and link Meross with it, in your car via CarPlay, you can trigger the garage command from a button press.

                Awesome device btw. I've had it installed at my parent's house for a year now and it works great.

                • DoIneedthese on 18/02/2025 - 16:00

                  @pogichinoy: Thanks. Unfortunately I use an android phone and all my smart home devices are connected to google home.

    With this installed, am I able to open the door when I am not connected to my wifi? i.e. im out at work?

    • FarKen on 17/02/2025 - 09:09

      Yes

    • DmytroP on 17/02/2025 - 09:13

      It worked for me with homekit, but only when I added the homekit hub (Apple TV).
      Without homekit hub (apple tv or homepod) it only worked within the same wifi network and was overall much less reliable.

      You may be able to open it from the original app, without homekit integration, I have not tried.

    • heyimsu on 17/02/2025 - 09:45

      Yes.

      The Meross app allows you to open from anywhere.

      Homekit requires a hub, otherwise it’s local only.

  • shivaussie on 17/02/2025 - 09:05

    • myr on 17/02/2025 - 14:07
      +1

      Not via Meross, but it's ultimately just an expensive switch (closes the circuit of two pins), plus a door sensor (reed switch).

      if you want a zigbee approach, you can buy both of those things and roll your own in HA

  • skateboard efficacy on 17/02/2025 - 09:09

    I installed this a few months ago and closing the door works perfectly with okay Google. Opening the door only works about 1/10 attempts due to the pin code part messing up. When I try disable the pin code it says it won't work without one. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

    • FarKen on 17/02/2025 - 09:15
      +1

      Experiencing similar issue. Try 2-3 seconds delay after Google asks for pin before quoting it. Found that greatly increase the success rate.
      Also announcing the pin very clearly.

    • Karl Pilkington on 17/02/2025 - 14:07
      +1

      With mine, I don't say each number of my pin code individually. For example, if my code was 5048, I'd say "fifty fourty eight".

      Works flawlessly every time.

      Ever worry you've left the garage door open? This kit includes a sensor that tells if you it's open or closed even when away on holidays!

      • prankster on 17/02/2025 - 10:11
        -1

        yes that is a positive but I guess if i was going away on holidays, I would have hoped and noticed that the garage door is closed before i leave the house

        i wouldn't expect the garage door to open by itself when im away on holidays right?

        • the1doood on 17/02/2025 - 10:30

          Unlikely,but I came home to find the door opened a few times. I blamed it on my memory for few times before witnessing it open by itself in front of me. The motor was dying and had to be replaced.

    • coxymla on 17/02/2025 - 11:11

      I can open the garage door if I'm working in the garden / etc.

      I can have it warn me if I leave it open at night or after people have left for work.

      I can use Siri to open it when I turn into my street so it's fully open when I get home, as opposed to having to wait until I get quite close to use the remote.

      If someone needs to pick something up or drop something off when nobody is home, I can have them call me when they arrive and open the door for them.

    • Hvrd on 17/02/2025 - 11:40

      • fatice on 17/02/2025 - 22:19
        +1

        If your main controller has two contact points for opening and closing the garage, it will be compatible. I installed mine next to the controller.

        The app allows easy remote control over the internet, but it doesn’t support shared access. The only way to share control is by providing the username and password for my entire account, which was created using a throwaway email.

    • Pretzal on 17/02/2025 - 12:21
      +3

      These work in parallel to your garage door remotes not instead of. They’re another way of using the garage door. Plus they tell you the state of the door without physically checking it. If you have an Apple TV or hub plus Apple phones / watches you’ll love the convenience of it

  • dmorg78 on 17/02/2025 - 09:15

    These are brilliant and I highly recommend. The best bit of me is having the garage door icon come up in Carplay when you get in the vicinity of your house.

    Just make sure you have a dedicated 2.4ghz network for this to connect to.

  • ExpressCoffee on 17/02/2025 - 09:17

    Got this on the last deal and it's great. At first I didn't hook up the sensor so I had to say "hey google, close the garage door' to open/close and it was fine. Now after installing the sensor it works as wexpected except I hate the part where it asks you for a PIN as it takes too long or for some reason the PIN code part get's picked up and randomly plays on a google home speaker upstairs when I was spekaing in the lounge room.. weird. I get it's for security but having the option to turn it off would be ideal.

    • EarlyBird22 on 17/02/2025 - 12:31

      You discovered a solution yourself. disconnect sensor, add a routine enable by "Garage Door" to tell google to close garage door. Then "hey google, Garage door" would open/close it.
      Doesn't seem worth avoiding security if it's direct house access

  • bloom on 17/02/2025 - 09:19

    • Domingo on 17/02/2025 - 10:02

      When I was trying to get mine working, I was using homekit as the integration path into HomeAssistant. Ended up going with a different brand as the meross one wasn't playing nicely with with Unifi network gear. Tried a bunch of stuff but it just wouldn't work reliably, connections would usually time out. Alternate brand (tuya based one off Amazon) has been flawless ever since.

      • Pretzal on 17/02/2025 - 12:23

        Did you try locking the wifi channel? This essentially fixed it for me with my unifi network. Prior to that it was randomly not responsive

        • Domingo on 17/02/2025 - 13:16

          Tried locking the channel, disabling optimisation, locking the device to different APs, firmware downgrades on APs, dedicated SSID just for the device, automated reboots, tech support from both Meross and Ubiquiti.

          Gave up after all that, swapped the device out and it worked a treat.

          My other Meross devices worked fine, just not the garage door controller. I've got a garage door controller on my parent's house which doesn't miss a beat, so was something with my network that it just did not get along with.

      • finger on 17/02/2025 - 14:55

        I have an asus router and had lots of issues with drop outs. I've added a second router in mesh and bonded the meross to that and things seem a lot better. A second unit I bought would drop out regardless so it got sent back.

        • Domingo on 17/02/2025 - 16:52

          it was connected to a Unifi UAP-AC-M literally 3 metres away from the device. I've got a separate AP on each floor of the house and tried it with all of them individually, same issue.

          There's a known issue between the device and Unifi networks, I've linked to posts on the unifi website about it before, just can't find them right now

      They are mechanically almost identical. This model is popular because it's one of the cheapest units with Homekit compatibility.

      If you don't care about Homekit, there's a listing on the Amazon page for a cheaper non-Homekit version.

    Should I use this for an outdoor gate? I have been using iSmartgate opener but the main unit has recently failed…

    • klaw81 on 17/02/2025 - 10:42

      It should function okay, but the unit isn't waterproof. Do you have somewhere to install it where it can be protected from the weather, and still get a WiFi signal?

    • Pretzal on 17/02/2025 - 12:28

      If your gate control board can power a Shelly 1 (wifi switch about $25) then I’d recommend that plus a reed switch $12. It’s cheap and reliable. Can be flashed with custom HomeKit firmware if you want it to be HomeKit native.

    • MiaSanMia on 17/02/2025 - 14:25

      Thanks I have a weather proof box for the main unit, but obviously the sensor will be outdoor. No problem connecting to a power source & wifi. All these have been set up with the iSmartgate before.

      The recent firmware update has fixed the wifi drop-outs/disconnection for me. Firmware 4.2.19. It looks to me that this firmware update has increased the power requirements so if you have wifi connectivity issues after the update, change the power adapter with higher power output.

      • Springfield on 17/02/2025 - 15:02

        Great that it helped you, I got that firmware update not long before I sent the item back. Amazon return window was about to close so didn't spend more time trying to figure it out. Changing the power adapter with higher power output could have been the solution.

  • Pretzal on 17/02/2025 - 12:04

    I have this and also a Shelly one (new Shelly’s up to gen 3 now!) flashed with custom HomeKit firmware and I find the Shelly way more reliable. This might be down to my network (unifi) which for a while was making the Meross ‘not responding’ within HomeKit but since I’ve locked the wifi channel it’s been much better. I’ve not had a single issue with the $25 Shelly plus $12 eBay reed switch even after power blackouts.

    For reference, the Meross is used on my garage door and the Shelly is used on my electric gate. The electric gate control board powers the Shelly by 24VDC from a spare set of DC power out contacts and the reed switch is wired in so the Shelly knows the open/closed state of the gate. The Meross is a good all in one solution with 240v AC power and reed switch included but just wanted people to know there are other cheap (and excellent solutions) out there that may be better for their situation

    One more point - if people want to know if the Meross is compatible with their garage door, the Meross instructions suggest you find 2 spare contacts on your garage door circuit board and if you can ‘short’ them with the included wire and the garage door opens then happy days - you’ve found how the Meross will connect.

      Yes. It works in parallel with your garage remotes and has additional benefits like showing you the open/closed state of the door in apple home.

      These units are designed to mimic the behavior of a wired push-button to control the door. So they work nicely alongside the remote control fob

      You can still install a wired button alongside the WiFi controller if you want that too - I've installed one and it's been quite useful.

          You mentioned CarPlay so you have to have an iPhone too right??

          When using CarPlay it automatically pops up as you get closer to your home to open your garage door. The baked in functionality is much more considered.

          As for the Apple TV, yes I like mine and it means that the garage door will be openable outside your house wifi (ie over 4G/5G). You need to ensure it is gen 4 or greater. These can be had on marketplace for $70-100 or cheaper if you’re lucky/patient. Then you can add more devices to your Apple home if you wish later. You can add other family members to your Apple home too so they can have access to your devices too if you wish.

  • LoungeLizard on 17/02/2025 - 18:02

    So can this be setup/used without the Meross app and using their servers? Call be paranoid if you want but I won't trust a third party with a device that can remotely unlock my house.

    • klaw81 on 17/02/2025 - 19:00
      +1

      Homekit runs on a local server that controls devices using WiFi, so in theory you don't need the Meross app to control the device.

      However, depending on the setup process you might need to create a Meross account and use their app to configure the device to link to Homekit on first use.

      I am not sure if that's the case for this device as I don't use Apple devices and have no experience with Meross' setup processes. Hopefully somebody else can chime in with the details.

      • LoungeLizard on 17/02/2025 - 20:47

        Cheers - I've read a bit more and seems you'll need the app (and an account …grrr) to do the initial connection and firmware update. After that, depending on the use case, internet connectivity is not required.

  • Odin on 17/02/2025 - 22:15

    • klaw81 on 17/02/2025 - 22:59

      It has a USB-A cable for power. It's unlikely that your garage door has USB outlets, so you will probably need a basic "phone charger" style power adapter.

    Hi, does anyone know if the other Meross is the same, the Meross store sells 2 of them, seems to be the same model and the other is $44.99

      Dearer one is HomeKit enabled

        Thanks, we all have iPhones but we use Amazon echo devices at home, not sure if I should move to Siri instead.

          I'd suggest getting the HomeKit version in case you decide to switch. I've seen many Amazon/Alexa users switching to HomeKit in various Reddit home automation subs. If you have Apple Watches and/or CarPlay you'll value the switch.

    Do these things wire directly into the gate/door motor controller PCB (and therefore need to be next to the motor), or do you train them like a standard keyfob remote (and therefore can be a distance away) ?

      They're wired into the terminal block on the door opener and make a momentary short in the same way as a hard-wired wall-mounted button - if you have one?

        No I have a gate with remotes, was wondering if this might work with it.

        Now that I've had a chance to have a proper read I can see it wires in, but the wired sensor probably won't be very practical for my gate scenario.

        Thanks for pandering to my laziness. :D
