Can also be used as a timer.

Works in conjunction with Liftmaster/Chamberlain MyQ. With a new software update on myliftmaster.com (or mychamberlain.com) you can now schedule on and off. It can be controlled with a regular garage opener, connected to a garage opener, controlled with a smartphone app, controlled with a PC app, or programmed as a timer. So far, two blocks are working stably. Pleases.

Pros
  • Rugged construction
Cons
  • So-so

Simple solution for exterior lighting

I wanted to hook up the garage exterior lights to a Chamberlain garage door opener light as wild animals often turn on the automatic exterior lights at night. I found this product to be a simple plug and play. As an added benefit, the kit also includes a remote control that, in addition to controlling the gate, turns on the light without closing the garage door. I am very happy with this product, it does everything I wanted and more.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Quick instructions

Works with HomeLink on my car

Almost nothing is said about the compatibility of PILCEV with the car's built-in HomeLink. Called chamberlain customer service and was told it wouldn't work. [Wrong] Called HomeLink and they said "don't do it" but I couldn't find any specific instructions there for this device, at least not for my car model. I ended up using the instructions linked to "other" for a different car model from my automaker. Suffice it to say that you must be PATIENT and use the TRAIN button on the PILCEV.

Pros
  • GOLS certificate
Cons
  • Speed

Doesn't work with Alexa

Works but way more than needed and has a loose wire that acts as an antenna. You must also have a hub. DOES NOT WORK with ALEXA and, judging by Chamberlain's reviews, won't appear any time soon. Works with Apple HOME if you buy another type of hub from them. In short, I switched both to TP-Link. didn't need a hub, is smaller, has no dangling wires, and works better overall. The most important thing is working with ALEXA. Can't recommend this, especially if you're putting together a practicalโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled

That works great! I didn't sync it with the garage opener.

Works great! I didn't sync it to the garage opener as I'd rather have them work independently. I'm home most of the time and there are dogs at the gate so I use the garage door opener as the door to the house and I don't want the light to come on every time I open and close the garage door. Was surprised it came with a remote control. I have used most 3 button remote controls for 2 garage doors and a gate but I programmed these for a gate, garage door and lamp so I can enter the house with theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful

Turn on the lights from anywhere with your mobile phone

I just installed a new MyQ garage door opener. This is great as I can check if it is open or closed on my phone and open/close it from my phone from anywhere in the world! So I looked for other products that had the MyQ feature. I found this light controller and had to have it. As usual, Revain got it to me in record time! It comes with a small remote control that you can program to open the garage door and light. This remote, sold separately, is $39.99, so buy a light controller and get aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Out of style

Ideal for home security.

I bought this together with Chamberlain MyQ Gateway (Chamberlain CIGBU MYQ Internet Gateway). This product, along with the Chamberlain MyQ Light Switches (Chamberlain WSLCEV Remote Control Light Switch), has revolutionized my home. This item was very easy to install and actually took longer to get out of its anti-theft packaging than it did to plug in and install. to work with the gateway. With the Chamberlain MyQ app I can set up rules per device to be notified when I leave the lights on. Inโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

Best Christmas Lights Timer (with MyQ)

After just one day, so far so good. I used 3 for Christmas lights. I currently only use the MyQ app to schedule them (Chamberlain finally allows you to set a schedule for their lamp/light switch!) As for the remote, I have 3 other of the light switches I've bought and this it was working properly. Back to the lamp switch used for the Christmas lights, all (3) synced flawlessly with the app and all I can say about the load is what I can say. All 3 no problems. The maximum load on 1 lamp switchโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Packaging is ugly
