Review on 🚪 meross Smart Wi-Fi Garage Door Opener: App Control, Alexa & Google Assistant Compatible, No Hub Needed! by Major Lindsay

So, like everyone else who bought this smart IoT device, I thought, well, let's buy it and find out. I was wrong, not that I didn't know in advance that my Genie Silentmax 1000 wouldn't work with this unit, but I figured I'd snip off a few extra wires and plug them back in, and that's it. I wish it was that easy. If you have a so-called floating code garage door opener with more than one button remote and wall panels (see box for you). I'm going to tell you exactly that and hopefully make it work because I have a Genie Silentmax 1000 series garage door opener that I bought in 2012. This guide should work for most of those new garage door openers that come with a 3 button or 4 button wall panel and car remotes. I have a 3 button wall panel (see image) and a 3 button car remote to control the opener (Genie G3T-BX Intellicode Remote (aka Rolling Code)). The wire from the garage door opener to the wall console and the Meross signal control wire in between I heard a click but otherwise did nothing. So what?! I tried what Meross described on their website if you have one of the incompatible garage openers like mine. Use an optional car remote, open it up when you want to change the battery, find out which button controls the garage door, and solder a wire to these two endpoints (any remote, regardless of brand, should control one point) . opening and others to close the door). That's all well and good, but if you have a PCB like I have (and should have for most post 2012 models) for my Genie G3T-BX remote control you're out of luck, no button and solder joint to solder anything as well always! I was determined to get it working, so I did a few experiments to see what I could do. The result is in the last photo where you can see the two solder wires on the board itself. You have to be very careful here, unless you solder the wires right where I did, it won't work. Trust me it took me some time with my terrible soldering skills to do the same! Oh, and you can do this with any button on your remote that opens/closes the door. I did this for the 1st button because what I programmed to open the door, you can choose the 2nd or 3rd button, as long as you solder the way I did it should work. From here it should be an easy journey for you.
