Works well. Needs a bit of time to get network connection to work, but great once it's connected.
Works great! Totally worth the price and install took a couple of hours. I have two adjacent garage doors, so I ordered two units. You can control both doors in the same SmartLife app, with the ability to open or close either door, and see if either is open or closed. Just choose the door you want. You can also allow a second person to use the controller. Just Google "How to invite someone to share SmartLife app." Expect some frustration during network setup, as with most remote-control apps. In my case, one of the two units just would not connect after many tries. But when I tried the other unit, it immediately connected and then the other one linked right away. Don't give up on the SmartLife software. It'll take a few tries, but you'll get it to work! Wiring up your opener is easy. Just attach the red & black wires from the controller to the two terminals on your garage door opener that go to the 'open and close' push button mounted on the wall of your garage; the one you use to open and close the door. Follow the wire from the button on the wall to your opener; those two terminals are the open/close connections. (The other two connections on the opener go to the electric eye; you don't need to touch those wires.) Then, extend the long black wire that comes out of the controller to the magnet switch. Mount the switch to the garage door FRAME next to the garage door. Mount the accompanying magnet on the garage door itself, making sure (by looking at the app) that the magnet is close enough to activate the switch, but moves out of the way when the door goes up (see photos). Works within about 3/4" of each other. Could use this device for anything that needs 'dry contacts' and which could also tell you, remotely, whether a switch is open or closed. Great little device!

Great opener that works with all smart device set ups
I had purchased this opener as my second choice as my first one did not work well with my Google Home + iPhone set up. The eKyro opener is far superior simply because it works with the Smart Life app, which works with IOS and Android. Plus the Smart Life app has a CarPlay integration. So it seems that it should work for everyone no matter what devices you own. Plus since Smart Life is an app that works with various smart devices, it means that you likely will have multiple uses for it.My garage door opener is a LiftMaster 8500 wall mount. It is an opener that requires the free accessory in order to work. The accessory is basically a remote control that is connected to the eKyro. When you give the command to open/close the door the eKyro simply sends an electrical signal to the remote with triggers your garage door opener. It is very easy to order the accessory on the eKyro site. And the shipping was very fast. I ordered the at the same time as I ordered the opener on Amazon and they arrived within a day of eachother.The opener comes with an instruction book. This device is very easy to set up. And eKyro provides very clear video instructions (easily accessed from a QR code in the instructions book). They provide instructions for adding the device to Smart Life, installing the opener, and creating scenes in Smart Life.Initially the opener was not working for me. Because I could hear the click, I knew it was receiving the signal to open/close. But it wasn't transmitting it to the accessory. After multiple attempts to make a good connection between the opener and accessory, I ended up email eKyro customer support.Their customer support is absolutely stellar. Their response time is super fast. The initial suggestions to trouble shoot did not work. So they quickly offered to send me a replacement opener. That opener arrived very fast. Unfortunately, I had the same issue with it. But, they were able to confirm that they had tested it before sending it and knew that it did work.As I said the issue was with the connection between the opener and the accessory. No matter how I tried, I was not able to make a good connection with the wire connection terminal that came with the accessory. It was a bit odd. But in the end, I ended up using twist wire caps to connect the opener to the accessory and that solved the problem.Now I am able to easily open/close my garage door via voice command to my google home speaker or by tapping the button in my Google Home app, Smart Life app, or on my car's touch screen in CarPlay.I cannot give their customer support enough praise. The response time, patience, and eagerness to help was unexpected and uncommon. If you are in the market for a smart garage door opener, this is the one that you should get!

Insane value
Holy crap, why didn’t I buy this sooner? One afternoon—after catching heat from the wife for leaving the garage door wide open while I was at work (we live close to a busy highway)—I started looking for a solution. I almost bought the Chamberlain myQ… thank god I didn’t. What a garbage brand—they make you pay extra just to integrate with Alexa. No thanks.This device does exactly what I need, with no subscription nonsense, and responds almost instantly through the app. I click the button and the door opens or closes right away. Super smooth.Only one small quirk I ran into: I tried opening the door from the app, then quickly pressed the button again while it was moving. It paused the door, but then didn’t resume when I pressed it again. I think I just didn’t wait long enough for the door’s preset “close delay” to time out. Either way, I hit the wall switch and it worked like normal.Installation was a breeze. I got it connected, verified it in the app, then mounted the sensor while checking signal strength live in the app. I was able to place it cleanly at the top of the door and header without any extra hardware or ugly wires.Now I get reliable notifications when the door opens, closes, or has been left open too long. And being able to check the status (or control it) from my phone or Alexa? Total game-changer.Absolutely recommend it.
