Review on 🚪 Lomota Smart Wi-Fi Garage Door Opener Remote with Tuya Smart Life APP Control, Compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, No Hub Required for Hassle-Free Setup by Mike Brumfield

Installed same day. Before purchasing, I shorted out my current wall opener with a screwdriver and opened the door, which means it's compatible with my current opener. I started to switch to 2.4GZ network for programming and app download. The smart home apps I had didn't have a garage door option. If you used to have smart apps for outlets and lights, you may have an account and don't need a new one, but you do need the app that's in the book because my current smart apps didn't have a garage door option. I then checked the alignment of the door's magnetic sensors and confirmed that they were working. I could also feel the distance before the app reported the door was open. I skipped the Alexa process, I installed a door opening sensor on the wall with a wire right in front of the center in the center, the only sensor that was magnetic actually stuck to the metal plate that the opening lever connects to. I had a phone with the app open and could confirm it was closed. I got my son to hold it. Opening the door a bit to look at the gap, we decided to go an extra step and hollow out the recess where the sensor went in and drill a small hole for the screws, then the wall sensor with the wire attached to it with two to fasten screws. the other because everything was ready to stick to the plate by itself. I added 2 plastic nail clips that we used to securely attach the wire to the wall. We managed to hide most of it. I preferred to run the wires closer to the wall switch than the engine light like the book says. We turned off the opener before connecting the wires. Since you need a plugin for these devices to work. I figured it would be easier to run cords to my wall opener because I have a plug underneath. We attached a long cable from the door sensor to the wall opener above and connected it to our Smart Opener. We unscrewed two wires from the wall breaker and inserted two single wires using the old wires. The order doesn't matter here. When we tried it for the first time we heard a click, it didn't work. Dah turn the opener back on. Bam Opened for the second time. Alexa turned out to be a little more difficult. Download the skill that matches the app. enter skill. activate ability. Make sure you're signed in with the same account you created when you started the app. This app seems to be compatible with the current app you can use for the lights, but it doesn't have a garage door, which is why I created 2 accounts. This is where it gets tricky. It's not like setting up smart sockets or smart switches that you can train Alexa on. It's not in your smart home space. Directly under the garage door. You need to set a PIN and you can just tell Alexa to open my garage door, it will ask for your PIN and then proceed to open your door. You do NOT create routines for Alexa to run specific routines. It will only do 4 things: open the door according to your PIN, close the door and give you a status report if it is open or closed. Don't try to create a routine like you do with light. At least I haven't found a way to do this. When I got to the part where you had to choose your smart door opener. He wasn't on the list. Anyway, I now have large door sensors, a camera, door sensors, and a motion sensor. The only problem you may face is finding food for him. I ran my wires to the wall opener and power supply and everything worked great, the book says to run to the garage opener motor, that might work better for you if you have a plug there, mine is hardwired to the switch.
