Review on πŸšͺ meross Smart Garage Door Opener Remote with APP Control - Compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, and SmartThings - Multiple Notification Modes - No Hub Required by Trevor Rodke

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Smart integration for dumb device

The Meross MSG-100 Smart WiFi Garage Door Opener was the perfect device to bring my dumb analogue 30 year old artisan garage opener into the 21st century. I looked at similar devices like the Chamberlain My-Q and Nexx garage door openers. But Fakespot, the site that checks if reviews are legit, gives both Chamberlain and Nexx a D! Meross is rated A. Less expensive than Nexx and similar to Chamberlain. I also use several Meross Smart Plug Mini units and their performance has been excellent so I was happy to see Meross have come up with a smart garage door solution. cleverly and efficiently packaged. After reviewing the content and before installing the garage door opener, I recommend you to download and install the Meross app first. Follow the instructions in the Meross app and you'll be connected in no time. The physical installation in the garage took 30 minutes and was not long in coming. I decided to install a magnetic reader on the side of the garage door. Meross garage door opener works well with Revain Alexa. The Smart Meross skill works best and you need to link the skill to your Meross account. Alexa responds to "Alexa, ask Smart Meross to open the garage door", "Alexa, ask Smart Meross to close the garage door", and "Alexa, ask Smart Meross to check the garage door". Using a PIN is optional and optional.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Having troubles
