All time new low. Cheaper than the last deal by $18.75, although slower postage via Aliexpress. 


I missed the last deal, but at sub $40, thought I might give it a go.

Homekit compatibility, meaning Apple CarPlay (there is a button) & Siri voice integration is a massive bonus if you're in the iOS ecosystem.

Decent video review here

Non-Homekit version is also available for $32.11 ($22.43 USD).

Compatibility Manual

  • Remote and Voice Control: You can turn garage door on/off from anywhere with internet via the Meross app. Or control your devices hands free, just give voice commands to turn on/off the connected devices. Compatible with Apple HomeKit, Siri, Amazon Alexa, SmartThings and Google Assistant. To let in your family, guests or couriers through the garage door while you are cooking or not at home. No monthly fee or any other subscription fee!
  • Compatibility Check: Please check if your garage door model is in the compatibility list on meross /'mɪrɚs/ official web. Also you can contact us to confirm the compatibility.
  • Multiple Notification Modes: Stay alert by different notification modes such as garage door open/ close status, overtime notification and overnight notification to remind you close the garage door. And you can check the garage door open/ close operation records through the APP.
  • More Precise and Stable: It comes with a high sensitivity sensor which monitors the status of garage door more accurate and the signal stays stable. With adapter convert 220v to 5v, much safer.
  • Easy to Install: Installation is much easier than you may think. Pls make sure your wifi strength is acceptable near your garage door.

    My door system as an external board that has "FA GND FLASH, 24V PE GND & PB" sockets on it.
    I haven't looked into the Meross or door unit much, but I assume you would plug into 1 or 2 of these?
    Is anyone else's similar to mine?
    TIA

  • expatOz on 17/05/2022 - 13:25

    Says delivery by Jun 12, is that a realistic estimate. Haven't purchased from Aliexpress before so wondering if they delivery before, on and after this estimate date?

    • plasmapuff on 17/05/2022 - 14:01

      From previous experience 3-5 weeks is a reasonable estimate for the free postage options.

  • BargainDog on 17/05/2022 - 13:29

    Does this only open/close.. (stupid question on the face of it) - but can it partially open/close?

    So if I want to raise the door a metre, then send the signal to stop - can it? I do this with a 'dumb switch' and a Raspberry Pi. I'd love to replace it.

    • iShibby on 17/05/2022 - 13:51

      I guess if you catch it quick enough you could. It is essentially just pressing the garage button.

    • monkeyer on 17/05/2022 - 14:06

      I have this and I have to wait for it to full open before I can close it

    Can non-homekit version work on an iphone/ipad?

    • elmersglue on 17/05/2022 - 14:40

      I believe so, but just on the Meross App and not on the Apple Home App

      • ja912son on 17/05/2022 - 14:47

        Okay, thanks for the reply.

      If you have siri suggestions on, it will come up on the home page automatically as siri learns (eg when you get close to your house). Or you can use Hey Siri

    Happy to report that I just had some great customer service. I ordered the non-homekit version, and a service rep reached out to me on WhatsApp to confirm that I had ordered the correct version. Glad they confirmed before sending it out 👍

    Anybody figured out how to open the Merlin MR 850.

    it's on the list, but I'm not sure how to open it up and couldn't find anything useful online.

    • SeVeN11 on 17/05/2022 - 20:08

      figured it out, I unscrewed the only screw that's on the garage door (at the bottom of the unit) and the lid popped open
      behind the lid, there was a schematic for the connection for accessory power, status relay, safety beam and most importantly, wired wall control.

      I used a tweezer to short the wired wall control and it closed/open
      it looks like a spring-loaded terminal block so you should be able to just wedge the clip open and slide a wire into it without anything.

  • echelon6 on 17/05/2022 - 18:52

    Do they connect via wifi to the home network? I find alot of these IoT devices disconnect for no reason over time and you need to reconfig / reset them once in a while, major pita

  • SeVeN11 on 17/05/2022 - 20:04

    Just want to confirm the non-homekit version is only required if you actually want to use apple homekit.
    If all I want is google assistant, I am assuming I'm better of saving the~$6 and get the non-homekit version.

    • plasmapuff on 17/05/2022 - 20:06

      Yes.

      • SeVeN11 on 17/05/2022 - 20:12

        Thanks.

        Bought one.
        another project for me to work on, given we use the garage multiple times a day my other half should be happy about it.

  • Melong on 17/05/2022 - 20:46

    I have this (homekit) and it is very easy to set up, using homekit but i find the meross app works better. Works on apple watch too. You will need some home kit/hub type device for it work when not connected to wifi.

    • KeplersLaws on 17/05/2022 - 21:01

      Melong approves this meross 👌

    • delfredo on 17/05/2022 - 21:06

      So if not on wifi (eg. you’re a km out from your home, you can’t use Apple Home to open/close the garage door?

      • KeplersLaws on 17/05/2022 - 21:23

        This is second hand info, so see earlier comments, but yes you need a device that permanently stays at home — most realistic seems to be the HomePod mini. https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT207057

        • delfredo on 18/05/2022 - 06:30

          Thanks. My bad, I missed reading them. Got too excited and bought the homekit version. Looks like this is looking to be more expensive than I thought it would be, now that I need to buy a homepod mini.

          • plasmapuff on 18/05/2022 - 11:32

            @delfredo: A cheap second hand apple TV is the other option.

            • delfredo on 18/05/2022 - 12:20

              @plasmapuff: Thanks. Would any generation of Apple TV work? I read through the apple site that it must be the 4K and HD versions of Apple TV.

  • Geoff01 on 18/05/2022 - 09:56

    So to be clear Homekit is only needed if you have Apple products otherwise standard version only needed with some form of hub required to use the app offsite which is the only real benefit to having it. Also the door open shut sensor is cabled and not remotely linked via a hub which seems a pain to run a cable all the way to the door. I have notion sensors so wouldn't use that anyway. Am I reading it correctly as above

  • logistics on 18/05/2022 - 14:36

    Does anyone know if this works with the Merlin Commander myQ (MT110MYQ) garage door opener?

    It's not listed on the compatibility list but I am assuming it's all same-same and "should" work.
    I don't know if this being a myQ model which has it's own overpriced receiver would somehome stop the Merros one from working.

  • rooon on 18/05/2022 - 16:36

    Just double checking, does the Homekit version work with Google and Alexa as well?

    • plasmapuff on 18/05/2022 - 18:11

      Yes. For $6 some flexibility is always great in case you change platforms.

  • Rockets84 on 18/05/2022 - 17:44

    I had been thinking of buying the iSmartGate but these are much cheaper. Running a couple of 4K Apple TV's on the home LAN so setting these up with Homekit and using with CarPlay should be great. Thanks!

    • Rockets84 on 03/06/2022 - 10:36

      Got my two that I'd ordered yesterday. Both setup into Homekit easy as pie. Updated the firmware in the Meross app. I'll install them on the weekend onto my two garage doors with Merlin MT100EVO openers. Not expecting any issues there. Since ordering these I've been playing around with integrating more of my IoT gear into HomeKit via HOOBS bridge. Got my Hikvision NVR and Harmony Elite remotes in there now. Thinking of getting rid of my Amazon Echo and replacing it with a Homepod mini now since Homekit is so much easier to integrate with.

      • Rockets84 on 15/06/2022 - 09:54

        My install went pretty smoothly. Took a little bit of playing with placement of the sensor on the first door to get it right. After that I had to tweak the door open time in the Meross app. By default it's at 15 sec. I timed my door opening and closing and it was 20 sec. Set that in the Meross app but HomeKit would report an obstruction with the door. Changed it to 25 sec and that's now gone. Now the right pain that I wasn't expecting. I wanted to use these with CarPlay but there's no way to set which opener should be used in CarPaly it relies on Siri suggestions. Siri suggestions some times recommends the right door sometimes it doesn't. There seems to be no logic to it. Using Siri voice commands works reliably though. I hope this get addressed in iOS 16 but I'm not holding my breath seeing as this has been a known issue since iOS 13.

    Bit the bullet and ordered the non-Homekit Ver. Their CS contacted me via Whatsapp to confirm if Non-Homekit is indeed what I'm after.

    Btw, CS did mention the shipping timeframe would be around 13-25days atm.

    • KeplersLaws on 19/05/2022 - 12:17

      Via whatsapp? That's pretty cool, is that something that aliexpress merchants often do? I've never had that before, is there some kind of linking you did with your whatsapp profile?

      Only comms I've had are via aliexpress's own chat function

      • ja912son on 19/05/2022 - 17:14

        Yep, via WhatsApp. I guess they might somehow reach me via mob number I left for mailing address.

  • danielglongo on 19/05/2022 - 14:21

  • Stegasaurusnext on 20/05/2022 - 08:00

    Another tip. My gate is 12v. The meross runs on USB so buy a cheap 12v to USB unit and hook direct to the unit rather than trying to run new power to your gate

    I’ve changed my mind on my purchase of the homekit version. If anyone in Sydney is interested to buy from me please DM me. Package is still sealed and unopened, received 5 days ago.

    My mistake was I didn’t know I needed to also buy a hub (homepod/apple TV) and that’s another $100+ outlay I’m not prepared to make. I’ll stick to my current Tuya based garage door opener.

  • namenotspecified on 01/06/2022 - 23:22

    Does this come with an icon to open/close using Android auto? Is that a thing with any of these?

  • Kontiki on 14/06/2022 - 13:50

    Installed mine yesterday (HomeKit version). Works well other than remote access (when away from home). Apparently you need an AppleTV, HomePod or iPad for that. Or I assume a Google Hub might do the trick.

    • plasmapuff on 14/06/2022 - 16:00

      Homebridge is the other option to get HomeKit to work. I have it installed on my Synology NAS, also works on Raspberry Pi.
      https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge/wiki

    • Rockets84 on 15/06/2022 - 09:45

      Just a FYI for HomeKit the iPad option is being dropped in iOS 16 so officially only HomePod's or AppleTV's can be the Home Hubs.

      • Kontiki on 15/06/2022 - 13:08

        That's good to know. Luckily I had an Apple TV laying around. The only purpose I needed remote access for, was to get the button in Carplay working correctly. Without the hub, the Carplay button (and any remote functionality) will just say 'not connected'.
