The Simple Way to a Smarter Garage. Make your existing garage door opener smart in minutes with Smart Garage Control. The Smart Garage Control is simple to install and allows you to link your existing garage door opener to the myQ App so you can control, secure and monitor the garage from your smartphone. Featuring a compact modern design, Smart Garage Control is compatible with all major brands of garage door openers manufactured after 1993 that have standard safety sensors. It’s sleek white finish blends in with ceilings, walls and garage doors, making it an aesthetic complement to any garage environment. Once paired with the myQ App, it offers more than the ability to simply open and close a garage door. Homeowners with Smart Garage Control benefit from on-the-go management of daily activities, like never having to wonder if the garage door was left open, receiving real-time alerts when children arrive home from school, remotely letting in the dog walker or service person and now in-garage delivery to keep packages safe and secure. “Did I shut the garage” No more worrying. Open or close your garage from anywhere. Simply download the free myQ app for iPhone or Android and get connected with your very own Smart Garage Works with Amazon Key In-Garage Delivery—an exclusive Prime member benefit that protects your Amazon packages. Give access to family or friends while on the go Never worry if the garage is closed at night by setting a close schedule 1. Works with most brands of garage door openers manufactured after 1993 that use photoelectric sensors that do not shut off. It is not intended for use with openers in which the photoelectric sensors located near the bottom of the garage door change power mode (e.g., lights on the sensors turn off after the door is closed), or any Chamberlain Group opener with a yellow learn button manufactured between 2010 and 2021, or any Linear opener. System Requirements: a router with 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi frequency, router with 802.11 B/G/N, a router within 50 feet of the Smart Garage Control (more details in PDF user manual). Must have a sectional garage door. Product certified for use in US only. Bluetooth makes setup easier than ever. Control a second door with additional sensor (sold separately on this page).

10 reviews for CHAMBERLAIN Smart Garage Control – Wireless Garage Hub and Sensor with Wifi & Bluetooth – Smartphone Controlled, myQ-G0401-ES, White
OPPOSITE EXPERIENCES!!!
I stress about packages sitting on the doorstep, so I was really excited about Amazon Key where they deliver packages inside your garage with this Chamberlain garage door opener. I am so pleased with this convenience and no longer worry about packages.I have set this up in TWO houses in difference states, with different internet providers/equipment and totally different experiences.In the first house, it was very easy to set this up. I followed the instructions in the box to initially get started. It comes with two parts: a “hub” which is the brain of the thing that plugs in to an electrical outlet, and a sensor that sticks to the back of your garage door with provided Velcro sticky mounts.First you install the MyQ app on your phone, and the app provides you with step-by-step instructions. It’s really easy. It also asks if you want to “show me”(watch a short video for certain steps). You can skip the short videos if you want to, but I found them to be very helpful. The major steps are:(1) sync the hub to your phone(2) connect the hub to your wi-fi(3) stick the sensor onto the back of your garage door(4) test the connection between the garage door sensor and the hub and test that it opens the door.After everything tests out okay, they tell you how to mount the hub in a permanent place. It needs to be plugged into an outlet in your garage, within 50 feet of your wi-fi source (your router), and at least 6 feet off the floor. I mounted mine to the ceiling in the garage, plugged it into the same outlet where the garage door opener is plugged in.The whole setup was very easy. So far, Amazon has delivered 4 packages inside my garage—out of the rain and away from passers by. I do not usually have a need to open my garage door remotely, so I pretty much use this just for Amazon Key deliveries. But, have you ever left home and then wondered if you remembered to close the garage door? This gizmo will let you know if your door is open or shut. Relief.Some people complained that the MyQ app is not integrated with other apps like SmartThings. I don’t really care about that. This device cost $30, and it came with a coupon to get $30 off my first Amazon Key delivery (limit of one). I have two individual garage doors, and purchased a second sensor for the second door. The first garage door setup was basically free. How can you beat that??I had such a good experience with house 1, that I decided to do the same set up in our vaation home, in a different state. TOTALLY OPPOSITE EXPERIENCE tried literally everything, but the Hub would not connect.I finally concluded that my brand of router/modem in the vacation home was not compatible. I spent many hours researching this on the internet and also on the phone with both MyQ and Chamberlain both. They were both very helpful, but NO LUCK it just would not work. The router we were using was TP Link AC1900 Archer 8, and the modem was Netgear CM600. One or the both of them just did not work with this MyQ devise.TWO YEARS later, we changed internet providers to Century Link–they provide their own router/modem so I am not longer using the TP Link/Netgear equipment. I decided to try the MyQ hub again and it was VERY EASY to connect with no issues with Century Link’s Quantum Fiber equipment. We have two separate garage doors with two separate openers. I was able to connect both garage openers to the same hub, and order an extra sensor for the second garage door. I am VERY HAPPY to be able to use Amazon Key service in our vacation home now.I don’t know why, but it currently costs the SAME regardless of whether you purchase a complete HUB WITH the sensor OR a second sensor alone. Even though I could use the original HUB for the second garage door, I ordered the complete hub/sensor set and am using only the sensor for the second garage door. I figure that I have a “free” backup HUB in case I have a problem with it later.I write honest reviews to help others make informed purchases. I do that because I read reviews myself and appreciate how helpful they can be. I hope my review helped you.
Works perfectly with new Genie door opener
I installed a new Genie 2035 garage door opener In the fall of 2025 and wanted to be able to pair it with the MyQ hub. Despite several on-line comments stating that newer Genie garage door openers did not work well with the product, I gave it a try.The automated on-line support questionnaire from the MyQ page said their Smart Garage Control Hub would work in my situation. I downloaded the MyQ app and followed the instructions precisely.Installation took about 20 minutes including gathering the tools (screwdriver, drill, and short step ladder) necessary for the job.Near the end of the process, the app said something about the hub sometimes only monitoring the door but that they would try multiple times to get the hub to open and shut the door. Regardless of that somewhat scary note far into the installation, the installation went smoothly. The hub and door opener paired correctly, and the door can now be opened and shut from anywhere my cell phone has coverage.Complete success! Good job Chamberlin!
Perfect product — easy installation
This product works perfectly. Installation, which is usually a challenging job, was surprisingly easy — it probably took me no more than 10 minutes to install and set everything up. The whole process went very smoothly, and I’m extremely satisfied with the performance.
Works, but minimal functionality
The most important thing I want to point out is that this opener IS COMPATIBLE with my Linear LD050 garage door opener. I was reading a lot of mixed things about how well it works with Linear, and that they removed Linear support from the app. They don’t have Linear officially listed among their supported manufacturers, but I was able to use the “Learn” button to program my MyQ opener easily.Pros:- Works with my Linear opener!- Easy setup with thorough instructions in the app (honestly way too thorough if you know what you’re doing).- Simple app that covers all the basicsCons:- No Google Assistant integration.- Minimally configurable notifications. Like I wish I could configure it to notify me after the door was left open a specific amount of time.- This is somewhat hearsay, but it seems they have a lot of outages. Would be unfortunate if you lost access to this while away from home, but as long as it doesn’t spontaneously open the door, you’re no worse off than if you didn’t have the product at all.I just installed this today. I will update if I have any reliability issues.
easy to setup but app has some bugs
easy to set up. works great. very good app. Just download the app and follow the easy to use instructions. No need to read the included brochure. The app has super easy to follow steps. My opener is a Chamberlain with purple button. It took me like 10 min to setup.Please Note: App works great to set up the owner but very buggy when adding users. When you add users, they get an email to validate their account but do not see the garage door to open right away. It takes a while for them to be able to open and close the garage door. It may take 30 or 60 min at least.
Accesorio bastante útil para dar acceso al conductor de Amazon o ML cuando no hay quien reciba las entregas personalmente.A diferencia del modelo de color blanco, este dispositivo es compatible con los motores que traen botón de aprendizaje color amarillo. La instalación fue sencilla y no me llevó mas de 30 minutos. El instructivo dice que el modulo se instale alejado de cosas metálicas, sin embargo lo instalé en la misma estructura que sostiene al motor y funcionó sin problemas. Por otro lado, el sensor de posición lo atornille en el panel superior del portón y la instalación fue sencilla.Una vez que el usuario principal configura su perfil en la aplicación, se pueden agregar accesos adicionales en forma de copropietarios (pareja, hijos) o usuarios temporales.
Dunque prima di acquistare dovete sapere che questo prodotto non funziona con le fotocellule quindi non è adatto a voi .Il kit è ben fatto sempre se non utilizzate le fotocellule ripeto.Ho dovuto renderlo in quando ci sono cascato anche io .!
If you’re in the market for a convenient, modern solution to managing your garage door, this is a game-changer. Here’s why:Smart and ConvenientWith this device, you can control your garage door directly from your smartphone. Whether you’re halfway across the world or simply on the couch, opening and closing your garage is as easy as tapping an app.Added SecurityOne of the standout features is the peace of mind it provides. The hub sends notifications when your garage door opens or closes, so you’ll always know what’s happening. You can set up single-use codes for deliveries or visitors as well.Easy InstallationThe setup is surprisingly straightforward. The hub integrates seamlessly with most existing garage door systems, and the included instructions or app setup wizard guide you step-by-step. Your garage can be smarter and more secure in less than an hour!The only negative I’ve noticed so far is the lack of Siri commands.
Spent 2 hours to sort out connecting the device. myQ app did not even list the product to select from. I never had this much of difficulty connecting any device in the past.
Installed about a month ago, so far so good. No issues with connecting to the garage opener, had to switch to my IoT wireless network last week, was easy to change networks. The app works fine as it’s very simple, like the logging of opening and closing ability. I was able to open for a courier last week so they could drop-off a package securely. I also have a camera in the garage, so I know what’s happening and can see the delivery taking place. When the garage is closing, there’s an audible beeping prior to the garage moving, good safety measure. All and all, I would recommend this product.
