How to Setup MyQ Garage Door Opener (Step by Step) Install, Mount, WIFI Connect

After it is installed, how are other family members able to open and close the door with their phones?

I'm feeling like it is working via Bluetooth so, although I can know if the garage door was left open when I'm away from home, I'm thinking I cannot close it if I am away. Is that correct?

Can it be set up with Google Assistant/Google Home where I don't have to open the app but instead say, "Hey Google, Open the garage door". Or, "Hey Google, close the garage door".

What is the hub and the sensor for?

can the hub be placed anywhere in the garage? the app/quick start looks to be right above the garage motor

Been thinking about getting this but wasn't quite sure how it all worked. This looks super easy and now I think I'll go ahead with the purchase. Great tutorial!

This video was a huge success thank you.

Can I pair a Ryobi?

Do you really need to mount the hub? Is it necessary?

I have 2 doors. Can the app support 2?

My app (MyQ) keeps asking me to press the learn button and wait for a beep. The beep never happens and connection fails. You must be using an older version of the app. Installation is different now.

Does the hub have to be in the garage?

Question: Looked at the manual and it is unclear, do the buttons on the front of the Hub marked for Door 1 and Door 2 function as an opener?

I just installed mine recently. I wish the programming was as easy as the demo here! It took me over 3 hours from unboxing to operation! Lots of glitches encountered. Had to find phone # to Chamberlain and call tech support because my app kept rejecting my wifi password! He had me do a back door setup to get the password to work. He admitted there must be a bug in the app preventing me from entering my wifi password! THEN, try to pair the opener to the hub! OMG! Almost gave up because the app kept saying my machine was not compatible and I could only use it to find out if my door was opened or closed! Not having that! My Genie has a program button, but it's black. The LED indicator lights are buried deep inside the machine, so nothing like the instructions say. + the button has to be HELD down for over 2 seconds! NOT a doorbell press. AND, I had to have a hand held car remote on top of that! Had to go through setup over and over and over again until, like an hour later...Finally paired! Now, it sorta works, the the built-in LED light does NOT flash when I hit close on the app! What a mess! So, beware, it is a bear.

I haven't seen this anywhere. Perhaps you can help. Can you setup and operate the garage door without a myq sensor? I want to use myq hub with a ramset gate opener that closes automatically after 10 seconds and works with a typical multicode control.

Right at the last you mentioned LTE or 5G connection but I did not understand how this works with WiFi? Also does the app warn about when to change battery?

Very informative. Velcro stick-ons in the garage? Come on MyQ....

So when you pair the myQ to garage opener, my homelink and remote we used prior to myQ, stopped working. Anyone else run into this? Is there a solution?

Mine will start to open maybe a couple inches and stop. Same with trying to close the door

Just got one ready to install ! Thanks for sharing info very helpful ! 👍

Pair with Alexa?

Thank you fast and easy❤❤❤❤

So amazon drivers can gonin my garage? I have expensive tools in my garage. No way.

Mine failed at the final step over and over and over......Chamberlain B550 ironically can directly connect to Wi-Fi but that don't work either. I can directly connect to motor unit Wi-Fi with good signal from my cellphone. I think the Wi-Fi radio is suspect on the motor unit, so I did modify both antenna and make them longer. One was really short for some reason from the factory apparently, because the installer wouldn't cut it, so that is well stupid but Chamberlain is mega corporation at this point and that happens.

Thank you sir, set mine up right along with you and worked perfectly 🤜🏽🤛🏼

Why can’t they make a device that doesn’t require a drill? I don’t know how to drill a hole on the wall

You never told us about the positioning of the hub and the sensor. In which part of the garage was the hub installed? Isn't that important to note? Don't they need to be positioned so they line up to sense each other? Not very helpful video.

did you connect to a 2.5 or 5 Ghz? with the app..

Thank you

Terrific job on this video. Thanks so much.

Quick question. What does the hub do? Why would I get one. I'm asking because I want to know if I really need it or not. Thanks!

Interesting, I just put a chamberlain in last night. It says it is blue tooth and wifi, and tells me to download the MyQ, buuuuttt...I did not get that device you just installed. Now I need to read more!!!

WILL THIS WORK WITH MY SEARS CRAFTSMAN MODEL # 139.53973SRT?

Great video.Does the senser need battery?

If I have an older but still working garage motor without a learn button (old screw/wires/flipswitch code kind) - is there a wire i can hook to hub directly ?

Mine is craftman and doesn't have any bottom to push 😢 where can I look to pair it?

What a great tutorial! Can I pair one MyQ with two garage doors?

Can you use this on any garage opener?

Just installed mine (great instructions)... turns out the unit is pretty useless though. Doesn't allow Alexa integration... and pretty much just allows you to open and close the garage door using your phone instead of the remote on the visor in your car.... sooooo... a lot of work, just to be able to do what you can do with the remote. As far as "Well, it tells you if the door is open or not"... I have a camera in the garage that tells me that. Heard Simple Command would allow you to control your garage with Alexa... but they went out of business and are no more. So, great instructions... was easy to install... just a completely usless device.

I don't think you mentioned where in the garage the hub is mounted.

Great video tutorial. Thanks for doing this. I am going to get one of this since my garage opener is a Lift Master also.

i notice that if you closed your garage door it will have sensor sound - so how can you turn it off?

do you have to conect to the garage opener?

Good stuff.

Great job!!! Unfortunately my craftsman won't work!

thank you very much, installed mine in like 10 min because of your vid, I opted to just get 3m double sided tape instead of screws and it works awesomely. Thanks again Merry Christmasss

Love the old version

By installing that will that unprogram my 2 garage door clickers?
