Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This review is for my purchase of Chamberlain myQ-G0401 - Wireless Smart Garage Hub in White color: Background: I have tried a couple of brands with my Chamberlain garage door opener unit and for the most part none have been perfect. I am very versed in technology and have over 70 automated (IOT) devices at home and easily installed. I have a VERY strong internet connection and a Mesh internet router setup where 100% of my house has 100% full bar connectivity - no dead zones at all for any of my devices. Well till I bought this unit... This unit: I decided to purchase and give this newer 2020 version a try. The hope is for consistent operation. Issue to date: The install should be a cake. Follow the in app instructions and all should be done as easy as 1, 2, 3. Well... so I hoped. For me all worked fine except when the unit tried to connect to my WiFi, it showed it as weak signal (1 bar). All my other units have full 3-4 bars. I even took the unit and put it next to one of my routers and then it showed 2 bars. Still weak connection. So... after much try and moving the unit close and moving one of my routers to garage next to this unit, then it now works. But for most of you who unlike me do not have a $1000 wireless network mesh, and even then not wanting to move one of the routers to the garage next to this unit, then forget about buying this awful product. Simply, the radio signal receiver is just bad. I can not stress this more, ALL my other units on my network have a 100% connectivity bar except for this unit. For me after some 1 hour of frustration, it now works (so far), and the only (it’s major) issue was trying to connect to the internet. Update - after several months of utilization: The device continues to be connected to wifi (read above), however, the device and its separate door sensor (tells the unit door is open or closed), often lose connectivity and thus falsely notifies me during the day or middle of night that my garage door is now open. It freaked me out several times when I was away or on vacation. Worse... you think the door is open so you click the app button to close it, just to then realize in the evening upon return to home that you opened the garage door vs. closing it due to the unit misread. I’ve been bugging the neighbors to check if door is open or closed every time this thing falsely triggers. Lastly, there’s a cool feature you can turn on in the app that can close your garage door if the door is left open greater than xx minutes or after a special hour (like 10 pm). Well.. do not use it because in my case due to weak sensor and misread, in the middle of the night it would open the garage door by itself thinking it’s past 10 and the door is left open. I have disabled it now and thinking of unplugging the entire unit. It’s just more risk than reward. Best of luck.
