   How to make a dumb door smart
   January 2023, I have a 10 year old Chamberlain MyQ door opener.Works great and no where near obsolescence.Battery backed up type, with the dreaded ‘yellow’ learn button.I wanted to have better control and monitoring of the door, so I looked into WiFi connected upgrades.Chamberlain was ignorant and unsupportive as to their upgrade for this model opener…they could not give me a yes or no if it would work. So I kept on looking at the various make and models of WiFi interfaces available. The awesome power of the Amazon…Then I came across eKyro. At first I was suspicious of the low cost, but at least they EXPLAINED the differences between opener brands/models, and how their WiFi control module can work with almost any of them.They also, and more importantly, have a website that actively aids in determining if their module will work with your model opener, and offer an adapter to make pretty much any model opener work with their control module. Note that the adapter (at this time of writing) is FREE -if you need it for your particular make/model/vintage door opener.You must request it via their website and submit your amazon order # to get it.The usual quick delivery of both items, although the adapter was direct from eKyro -and free shipping.InstallationAmerican English instructions and fairly well documented (text and pictorial) in the included paperwork, but also on Utube.Simple install. It took me longer to install the door open/closed sensor, than to wire the module to the door opener. I struggled with the app on my iPhone 6 getting it to WiFi pair to my local network, but it was because I was dense, not due to eKyro.Curiously, before I started the install, eKyro contacted me via amazon to ask how the install was going.I admitted stupidity and they kindly directed me to the ‘alternate’ method and utube tutorials.Kudos due because that kind of after sale support is rare these days.Shortly after that I completed the install, pairing/functional testing of the system, but only after some careful technical review, I realized the mistakes I made and got everything going.I am tech savvy…shame on me.Your mileage may vary, but eKyro will actively help you through any difficulty.The appSimple download/install. A little funky navigating within but I guess that is an extension of the programmer(s). The app is capable of operating numerous IoT gadgets. Long list…I suppose that it great for the future.I will not be using it with siri, alexa or other AI stuff, so I cannot comment on that.Flexible/configurable. I dont know yet if it tries to connect with servers in China or elsewhere.Overall, a very positive experience. I hope this stuff lasts the test of time.Dependability and durability is the name of this game.Judging from the innards of the adapter module, I can say the electronics are of high quality and workmaship.Excellent value! On a skill scale of 1 to 10 to integrate to your system(s) a 4.

   Just What I needed
   I bought this out of necessity, not because I need, want, or even like smart devices. I live next door to a very large military base. The Military owns the frequency that garage door and automobile remotes operate on. About 4 years ago or so they started using this frequency and when they do, when you live as close as I do, everything that uses a remote stops working. When it first started I thought something was wrong with my opener. I extended the antenna to the outside, no help. I changed the control board, no help. Finally I realized what was happening. Garage door manufactures do next to nothing to get around this issue. They want to sell you a new opener but won’t guarantee it will work. My opener is less than 10 years old. Anyway, the Military use of this frequency is becoming more and more common. When I finally purchased this device, I hadn’t been able to open my garage door for over a month. Of course it started working a day before this arrived. So this is for those times when my regular garage door remotes won’t work so I’ll always be able to get into my garage. The kit comes with pretty much everything you could possibly need to install it. Mounting it to the opener is easy with the double sided tape provided. The hardest part, for me was figuring out how to mount the sensor that determines when the door is open or closed. The good thing is you can have a pretty wide gap between the switch and the magnet. I suggest when you first get this device, you download the app, plug in the device and set it up in the app before doing anything else. Then lay the switch on a flat surface and move the magnet slowly towards it while watching in the app to see when it senses the door is closed. This will give a good sense of how far the magnet can be from the switch which will help you when mounting it to the door. Do is a couple of times to make sure. From here, installation is easy. Just mount the unit to you door opener, connect the 2 wires to it. Plug it in and run the sensor to the door. That’s it. Simple. I wouldn’t think it would take anyone more than 30 minutes to install this including securing all the wiring and making sure the installation is clean. The app is pretty straight forward and has lots of options for setting up smart features which I’m not going to go into. They have plenty of very good videos to help you install and setup the app. The only smart feature I use and that makes sense to me is using GEO fencing to open the garage door when you arrive home. This is a nice feature and works perfectly. I’m sure a lot of you will find a lot of the features useful for you. That’s a bonus, for me, it’s just so I can open my garage door when the Military is jamming the signal. It’s a good product, works as it’s supposed to, easy to install, and a lot of support videos. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
