ISMARTGATEPRO Smart Garage Door Opener Remote. Compatible Apple Homekit, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, Samsung SmartThings. Compatible with All Garage Openers. Wireless Sensor Included.

I purchased and installed 2 new ismartgate Pro garage door openers and I could not be happier. The installation was easy, with a simple wired connection to the garage door opener and then attaching the wireless sensor to the garage door (which I did with screws instead of the tape). Adding them to HomeKit was quick and easy, and HomeKit has worked flawlessly. While I mostly use the Apple Home app, the ismartgate app works well and provides control, information, and software updates. After using another HomeKit garage door opener for years, my 2 new ismartgate Pro garage door openers were easier to install, work perfectly in HomeKit, and have a better app.

I bought it to replace the Liftmaster MyQ Home Bridge connected to my garage opener and MyQ Smart Garage Hub connected to my sliding gate with a Liftmaster motor (both are Liftmaster Security Plus devices). Both were terrible, made an extremely loud beeping sound for 1 minute before opening or closing, delaying each command. Most annoying, the MyQ constantly showed a non responsive error - most of the time for the closing command ending up with an open door, when using it from away. It also required frequently new pairing, which was annoying. I bought the ismartgate PRO Garage Door Opener and use it with hardwired sensors for the gate and garage door. I bought the ismartgate sensors, but it even works with my previous installed sensor (normally open) I used with the MyQ. Installation was most simple, connecting to the hardwired switch inside the garage and required only to run the cable for the sensor, where I could have also used the included wireless sensor, but chose the hardwired one for reliability. My only wish would be for a cover for the wire connection block and clamps to secure each wire in place as well as a second screw hole for more stable connecting the ismartgate hub to the wall. The app lets you deselect the opening/closing delay and sound, which is great, when coming home late. Adding the hub to HomeKit was straight forward and simple (no comparison to the lengthy procedure of the MyQ) and the response is instant. Some reviewers comment of a HomeKit delay, which does not happen in my case, neither for the door nor for the gate. It appears to be very reliable so far and I did not have any connectivity error since I installed it 1.5 months ago - fingers crossed. I regret choosing the MyQ in the first place and suffering for the past 1.5 years with the unreliable connection and should have chosen the ismartgate right away, but who could know that a third party device will be so much more reliable than the original manufacturer. I can only highly recommend the ismartgate Pro.

I had a myQ garage door opener for many years. It gave me nothing but trouble. After one excruciating reset that took hours on the phone with MyQ tech support, I decided I needed something new. Read about this product online. Easy to install, and it operates almost flawlessly. The few times it gives me trouble, I simply disconnect power for a few seconds, reconnect, and everything goes back to normal. (In fairness, this usually only happens after a power outage in the neighborhood). If you are an Apple HomeKit user, this is an excellent alternative to MyQ and its cumbersome retrofit requirements. It has some fun, quirky features, like being able to upload an audio snippet that plays whenever you open the door. Also, the door sensors thermometers built in, so you can see the temperature in your garage using the iSmartgate app. Integrates nicely with HomeKit.
