Works great with my LiftMaster. And it works great with Alexa. Yes it supports Google Assistant but nowadays Google replace the assistant with Gemini assistant so basically you have to use the Google Home app to access the garage door opener (It does work).
The installation was quite simple and the instructions either on the manual or the app are clear enough, though I DID encounter minor issues when I was doing the installation and setting.
Need more time to check it's long term performance and durability, and the "Smart functions" in the app. But at least right now I'm satisfied with it and will recommend it to anyone who wants to control their garage doors from remote.

This works as claimed on my older craftsman door opener
First I gave this 5 stars because if you follow directions it all flows just fine and works on many types of openers.
Be sure the door is down when you hook this up and power it up. This model does not have a door up / down remote sensor. It knows the door is up or down by the wire that goes to the raise lower door screw. That is the same screw the wire from your wall mount push button goes too. There are three wires on the unit. One goes to the screw that raises lowers door. one to the common ground and the last to the door sensors Not ground screw.
I did mess up its up down logic by raising the door with the wall - unplugging the units power and lowering the door then repower it on. So it thought up was down. TO fix that I had to do the reset on the unit as if I was installing it on a different opener. I did not have to erase my network. I have a wall button and if i open this app and use the wall button it will correctly identify if the door is open or not. I used this app to open the garage door for my son when i was in another state. Using the provided power supply you plug this in at your desk and use the app to load the network and your password. You need to make a free account in the app. once that is set up you physically install it on your opener unit. The 3M stick tape works fine to hold it where ever you want it. I did not use the provided wire locks I put the wires under the screws. It is still working fine two weeks later.

Directions Unclear
I was really excited for this wi-fi garage door opener, but installation was kind of a headache. The instructions don't actually tell you how to wire it to the garage door opener, they just give you a diagram. It comes with extra wire connectors that I don't even know where to put, as my garage door opener already has these connectors with wires in them. You may be better off getting a compatible Wi-Fi Hub that just plugs into the wall inside depending on your garage door opener. Overall, a lot of this was very confusing, it even talks about other models in the instructions that you don't even have in the Box.

Easy Installation and Excellent Connection
Very easy to install and it worked with my Chamberlain garage door opener immediately. Setup was straightforward and I did not run into any compatibility issues.
The Wi-Fi connection has also been excellent. My garage is not particularly close to the router, but I have had no issues with signal strength or reliability. The app works well for checking the door status, opening or closing it remotely, and reviewing activity.
A very easy and effective way to add smart functionality to a Chamberlain opener.

Works Just as I hoped
I just installed this remote controller in well under an hour, and that time was extended mainly due to the fussy terminal connectors on my garage door opener.
The directions in the app are reasonable straightforward - I would've preferred a little more detail and ideally a picture or two. But I got it done without too much difficulty. You do have to hardwire this remote into your opener. Mine was installed with fairly thick gauge wires, and it took a little doing to get the remote's wires properly installed. The remote did include some wire nuts which I'm sure would've worked, but I wanted to do this install with minimal disruption to my existing install. I could live with failing the install, but did not want to accicdentally disable my opener.
Integration with Google Home was a breeze. I was apprehensive because I have a MyQ opener on the other door and that was a disaster - worked with Google Assistant, but not Google Home directly. And then support ended completely. But this integrated exactly like other Works With Google devices. And functionality is great. The one minor difference is that a PIN is required to open the door through Google Home, which makes sense as a security measure.

Great Smart Garage Door Opener
I got this to replace my old smart garage door opener as it was acting up. This garage door opener works of a 5V usb connection an works very well with majority of the assistants like Alexa, Google etc. Installation is very simple and straight forward. Instructions were very clear to follow. Profile of the unit is very small and can be easily hidden on top of the garage door opener unit with relative ease. It is compatabile with many units. It works well with Chamberlain garage door opener. Unit looks to be built well and it comes with all required parts to assemble.

“Simple setup with reliable control”
Installing this device was easier than I expected.
I’m not an expert in garages or automation, but by following the steps I got it working without having to remove anything complicated.
What I really experienced was the peace of mind of being able to open and close the garage from my phone.
There was a day when I left in a hurry and wasn’t sure if I had closed it; I just checked the app and felt relieved.
The Alexa compatibility also worked without issues.
I connected it, it recognized it, and I was able to use voice commands without having to adjust weird settings.
The connection stayed stable and I never had that several‑second delay that sometimes happens with smart devices.
In my experience, what I valued most was the sense of control. Knowing I can check the garage’s status from anywhere took away that constant doubt of “Did I leave it open?” And the fact that the installation wasn’t a headache made the whole process feel smooth.
For me, the value for money was clear because it solved a daily worry without costing me extra time or effort.

I Didn’t Realize a Smart Garage Opener Could Be This Convenient
I honestly bought this thinking it would just be a small convenience upgrade, but it ended up being one of those smart home devices that I use all the time without even thinking about it. Once I got it set up, being able to open and close the garage from my phone felt a lot more useful than I expected. It quickly became one of those things that just made everyday life a little easier.
What I like most is how practical it is. There have been plenty of times when I’ve wanted to check whether the garage door was left open, and having app control gives me a lot more peace of mind. I also like the voice assistant support, because it fits in nicely with the rest of a smart home setup instead of feeling like a standalone gadget that only does one thing.
Another thing I appreciate is that it feels like a smart upgrade without being overly complicated. Some smart devices promise a lot but end up being annoying to manage. This one feels much more straightforward. Once it’s working, it just adds convenience in a way that feels natural.
I also think the compatibility is a big plus. The fact that it works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and SmartThings makes it easier to fit into different setups, which adds a lot of value. That flexibility matters because not everyone uses the same smart home system.
Overall, I think this is a really worthwhile addition if you want to make your garage door feel a little more modern and a lot more convenient. For me, it’s one of those simple upgrades that ended up being more useful than I expected.

Simple install for a very useful garage door controller
What I like:
-Install took about 30 minutes, and that is including moving things out of the way and setting up the ladder
-Wiring was simple and well-documented in the instructions
-Physical install was easy, with the unit sitting on top of the garage door opener
-Now I can ask my phone or google home if the garage door is closed, and I can remotely close or open the door with my phone
Things to consider:
-Although this comes with wire connectors, no extra wire is provided
-There isn't much guidance on the physical placement of the device once it is installed
-You will need an additional power outlet to power this device
-It only works with 2.4 GHz WiFi
-Opening the door via google home requires a PIN code to be set

Smart home for the garage doors.
How do you stick it to Chamberlain and how they like to force you to use their app, not use home assistant, or just plain be awful to their customers? With this. You make pretty much any garage door a smart home appliance. Up until now, we had the switch on the wall, the keypad outside, and 1 opener with 2 buttons since we have 2 doors. The other remote long went missing, so it gave me free rain to take over that side of the garage.
This gets wired in, has it's own power source and feeds all the info to you and let's you open it with the app. The important thing is it is easy to install, and it gives you a level of functionality that just didn't exist on the thing from the factory. Definitely an upgrade, but you need 2 if you got 2 garage doors. I had used the little swingy adapters for door sensors to tell if the doors were up using my ring system prior to these.
Meross makes a few different models of several types of highly-rated add-ons to make your garage door opener a smart WiFi capable garage door opener. Some Meross garage door add-ons (like the MSG-100) work with older garage door openers that are activated by briefly shorting two electrical contacts, and those setups require adding wired Meross sensors to the garage door so that the Meross add-on knows if the door is opened or closed. This Meross MSG-150 does not have door sensors and it will NOT work with that older style of garage door opener. This Meross MSG-150 is designed to work only with select models of Chamberlain, LiftMaster, & Craftsman openers, i.e. ones that have yellow, purple, red, or orange "learn" buttons. Those models of garage doors have sensors that monitor the open-or-closed state of the garage door through sensors on the drive mechanism, and the MSG-150 is designed to take advantage of those built-in sensors. I have a compatible LiftMaster garage door opener, and this MSG-150 works perfectly with it. The user manual is easy to understand and so I was easily able to install the hardware using the included wiring connectors. I have an outlet nearby my garage-door-opener, so I had no problem adding the USB-A power supply and connecting it to my Meross MSG-150. The Meross app is intuitive and allows for easy setup. I had no problem connected to WiFi network, and the WiFi connection is was easy and the connection is reliable at my house. (Only 2.4GHz WiFi is supported, not 5GHz.) I then had no problem adding Meross to Google Home and controlling it with Google Home and Google Assistant through commands and voice based routines.
The smart functionality that the MSG-150 brings to my garage door opener is excellent. I can open or close it through the app or by voice. I can set up warnings when the door has been open too long (in case I forget to close it). I can put it on a schedule to close the door automatically after a certain amount of time or at a certain time. And I can control it and monitor the door status from anywhere in the world. There are no fees. What else could you ask for in a smart garage door?
This is a great product at a reasonable price so I'm rating it 5-stars.

Easy retrofit
This is a quick and inexpensive way to add smart functionality to an older garage door opener without replacing the entire opener. If your existing opener is still working well, this is a much more cost effective upgrade than installing a completely new smart garage door system. I had not used any products from this company before, so I did need to create an account and download their app. That process was straightforward, and once everything was set up, the app was easy to navigate.
Installation on my garage door opener was simple and went exactly as expected. There were no surprises or compatibility issues during setup. If you’ve installed basic smart home devices before, this shouldn’t present much of a challenge. There are a couple of things worth knowing before you begin. The device requires access to a 2.4 GHz Wi Fi network. If your router only broadcasts 5 GHz, you’ll need to enable or create a 2.4 GHz network. It also requires power, but in my case that wasn’t an issue because I had an open outlet available next to the one already powering the garage door opener. Once everything was connected, the system worked very well. The app responds quickly, and opening or closing the garage door remotely is simple and reliable. I found the controls intuitive and easy to use.
For our family, the biggest benefit is convenience and peace of mind. We occasionally use the garage as our primary entrance, and having smart control means we don’t have to worry about accidentally locking ourselves out of the house. Being able to check the status of the door and operate it remotely is a feature we’ve already come to appreciate. The overall build quality appears good, and the installation leaves your existing opener functioning normally while simply adding smart capabilities on top of it.
Overall, this is an excellent upgrade for anyone with an older garage door opener. Installation is straightforward, the app works well, and it adds modern convenience without the expense of replacing perfectly good equipment. For the functionality it adds, I found it to be a very good value.

Love this smart garage door conversion kit!
You will fall in love with this smart garage door opener! It took more time to get the ladder out than it took to install this device! Our initial concern that my ceiling plug was too far away was immediately removed when we plugged it in and found the generous cord length to be perfect! The install itself was using a small flathead screwdriver to press in the three tabs on the opener and slide the wires in. A couple screens on the Meross app (which is really easy to navigate) and we were in business! For extra measure, we cleaned the top of the opener and utilized the bonus mounting pads to make sure the little white housing stays in place (but we probably could have skipped this step). Anyway, being able to open and close the garage door is amazing! The notification system provides a lot of reassurance too! Great value for the money! Excellent find!

Love this garage door remote!
I have been automating various processes in my house for a while. I really appreciate smart tech that is easy to install and dependable.
The Meross Smart Garage Door Opener Remote is one of those items!
Install takes a bit of work, but is very simple and straight forward. You need to get up on a ladder and mount a magnet on the top edge of the door, and mount a magnetic switch on the frame above the door opening.(The magnet and switch tells the remote if the door is open or closed.) Then you string the wire from the switch along the garage joists and back to the garage door opener, where it attaches to the remote. Attach 2 wires from the remote to the connectors on the garage door opener, plug in power for the remote and the hard work is done!
The instructions provided by Meross are very clear.
Once the remote is set up, it is very easy to connect it to the Meross app that you load on your phone. Then you can enable Meross in Alexa, and control the garage door with voice commands, as well as automated sequences.
Having remote control on your phone can be a real time saver! For example... I loaded my SUV and drove off to go fishing. Got to my destination and suddenly realized I may not have closed the garage door. Pulled up my app, saw that it WAS OPEN, and closed it! Fantastic!
When connected to Alexa, the voice command to OPEN requires that you repeat back a PIN that you set in advance. This is a nice security feature.
Overall a great product!

Works with Craftsman 1021499A
Emailed Meross support my Craftsman Garage door opener model # 102 1499A, and got a response the next day saying it should work. Ordered, recieved, and had it installed and working within 30 minutes. Ordered the newer black model, which based upon the YouTube installation video is much easier to install over the old white version. Easily integrated with my Smartthings app too. Very satisfied, highly recommend based on installation. Will report back if any issues or failures, otherwise we recommend it.

Best WiFi Smart Garage door opener!
This is one of the BEST product that I have bought! It has literally save me money! Installation was a bit technical but not too difficult. You have find a way to lay the microswitch sensor to detect a movement of the door. The App was easy to install and even has a reminder sent if it remained open for too long. A couple of times I’ve left the house with the garage door opened and I received a message on my phone to inform me of that. What a lifesaver this is.
Oh, and best of all, there is no need for a hub or a monthly subscription

Best value
So easy to set up, I don’t even have a front door key on my keychain so if I was ever out without my vehicle I had to unlock the truck and open the garage, now I don’t have to worry about it, I can open the garage right from my phone or even Alexa auto. I like the Meross skill instead of meross smart for Alexa, it works with either one but with the smart skill the commands are super complicated
It was very easy to install. I do wish the wires for the relay were a bit longer. I wanted my controller on the side of my opener facing my house more but it didn't matter. Even on the side my wifi signal is at 100%. It works perfect and Alexa integration was easy. I hope it lasts. Will update if it fails.

What wifi network would have been helpful....
It would have been helpful to know if this could work on a 5 gig wifi network which as you can see in the picture only 2.4..... Love concept and was excited to used this... Unfortunately won't be able to will return.
