    For peoples wondering why offline mode doesn't work, you need to turn off mobile data, or disable auto switching to mobile data. Also widget doesn't work but in-app will be working.

    • DamagedDingo on 15/08/2023 - 09:39

      Does that mean you can use Siri and home assistant at same time? I was always turned off before because coming in I would use Siri, then from inside the house alexa or home assistant and I always thought it was one or the other.

        I installed for some time. I set it up for Siri, Google and Alexa. Can use any of them to operate.

    If I don't need Apple Homekit would the cheaper ($45.99) be ok. Will be used for a sliding motorised gate.

    Any other differences between the two. Sorry, can't upload the link.

      Don't know if there are any other differences but I've opted for this one.

      • tman2020 on 14/08/2023 - 19:45

        Thanks mate. Yeah for just a few dollars more I'll just go with this one as well. Kids have iPhones and will start driving soon.

    • CoreNex on 14/08/2023 - 19:21
      +2

      Depends on your door motor
      Most have a specific section for a hard wire kit, which this controller wires into. If your motor is similar to others it's as simple as unscrewing two screws, sliding the correct two wires in and tightening the screws. You'll then need to supply the controller with usb power and connect it to the app.

      • pork chop on 14/08/2023 - 19:58

            @jimbler: Smart garage door open does more than open and close the door from your phone. The meross has overtime closing, schedule closing, open/closing from anywhere (not just 50m like the remote), notifications each time it opens/closes, etc etc. Great device and well worth the money. Never had an issue with my 2. Easy installs and they just work. Recommended

      • sunyuanxin on 15/08/2023 - 15:59

        @CoreNex thx,I know there are two controller wires need to connect to the garage door motor, one is blue, one is brown. In my case, do you know which pin I should use?

    I’m guessing if you run home assistant, the non HomeKit would be fine as you could just use the HomeKit bridge integration to as it to HomeKit?

    • anthonyw on 15/08/2023 - 06:53

      Yes. You can add the Meross integration through HACS then use the bridge integration.

    Just impulse bought, how have you guys connected the 5V power? USB to USB long af cable to a wall socket?

    • laudern on 14/08/2023 - 20:37

      You are connecting these to an electric roller door mainboard. Chances are whatever outlet the roller door is plugged into will be the same that this device will be plugged into. At least that's how both of my devices are set up…

    • Lukian on 15/08/2023 - 13:20

      Got a wifi socket with USB ports on the side to go between the garage door opener power.

    Still no affordable solutions for rolling code swing gate/garage door automation hey?

    • nismoau on 14/08/2023 - 21:36

      this is basically a relay, so provided your swing gate motor has provision for a hard wire button this will work

    I have this garage door opener. It works well but their 2nd Factor Authentication is a joke. Even with the 2FA enabled you can just use your login and password to link into your Samsung account and use the SmartThings app to open the door. TLDR: it is not safe.

    • d3ft on 14/08/2023 - 21:55

      Logging in to SmartThings sounds a lot like a second factor…

      • jumpypotato53 on 15/08/2023 - 05:02

        I log in into my Samsung account and thank link your Meross account. Is that 2FA? I use different email address for both.

    • lomie on 14/08/2023 - 21:11

      Works with any motor that has a facility (terminals) to wire in a switch. Then you just wire in this device to those terminals.

    • craving on 14/08/2023 - 23:17

      I have FaaC swing and controller for the gate. Works perfectly. The only thing I haven't been able to do, figure out where to put the sensors because they are designed for internal not external.

      • greater mimic on 15/08/2023 - 15:27

        Is that the sensor that says it's open or closed? It can't be out in the weather? That's annoying because I would like to get this for my gate, already have one for the garage.

        I guess I can just not worry about using the sensor

  • hooray on 14/08/2023 - 20:45

    I bought this before but it's 2.4g and my wifi is 5g.
    I haven't worked out how to connect

    • bayleyb on 14/08/2023 - 20:50
      +2

      Login to your router (instructions are on the sticker underneath the router) and check the wifi settings for something called "Smart Connect". If you can, disable that. Then your wifi will broadcast a 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz network separately.

  • finger on 14/08/2023 - 20:57

    I bought 2, 1 was pure garbage and drops WiFi after a couple of hours, sent back to Amazon. The other is working well but drops WiFi every now and then. For $15 I bought a wofea off aliexpress, does the same but can be installed as a switch so you don't need a password.

    • lomie on 14/08/2023 - 22:11

      I changed to a Deco M5 mesh WiFi and placed one node in the garage and it has stopped the dropouts on my Wofea units.

    • papagoose on 15/08/2023 - 07:10

      I've found it's important to have a strong wifi signal, I had to put an eero unit in the garage, but with a strong signal it's been rock solid

    • zerocritical on 15/08/2023 - 08:34

      Its most likely your router / wifi issue and not the module.

    Ok so for those who are new to Apple HomeKit don’t make the same mistake I did.

    You need a HomePod or Apple TV to make this work. Without one this thing will not work within the Apple ecosystem

    • amitos on 14/08/2023 - 21:14

      I wonder why it isn't working for you. I got it working in my Apple Home without an AppleTV or HomePod.

      • Lionheart on 15/08/2023 - 00:41
        +1

        It’s only working when you’re at home on your wifi. It won’t work away from home as per the above posters message without the HomePod thingy

      • FireStallion on 15/08/2023 - 11:36
        +1

        Or you can setup an old ipad/iphone as the HomeKit hub, which I initially did.

        • Lionheart on 15/08/2023 - 14:53

          How is this done? Is there a tutorial somewhere?

    Yeah great but probably don't compromise the security of your home for a dumb joke

    This works great with Home Assistant and Smartthings.

    Some ideas ive set up;
    - Samsung Smarttag to open/close Garage
    - NFC Tag right outside for Phone to open/close garage

    • uetecu on 15/08/2023 - 23:18

      What kind of NFC tag did you use outside the garage? Sounds pretty cool

    • BruteforceMelbourne on 04/09/2023 - 12:14

      Please provide some more details.

      I already have the automation in home and garage is auotmated as well using meross but not heard of this from samsung.

      Thanks

      • iLikePizza on 04/09/2023 - 14:08

        Pretty straightforward;
        if u have a smarttag it has a built in button that lets u control whatever u have setup in smartthings

  • akplayer on 14/08/2023 - 22:04

    Friendly reminder that any garage door that is retrofit with remote operating needs a kill switch to stop it shutting on someone.

  • ScrubCorps on 15/08/2023 - 00:21

    Bought it last time to use with Bunning's Chamberlain unit. It worked so well with HomeKit and Siri, I bought another even when it wasn't on sale.

  • mojadu on 15/08/2023 - 07:06

    I have a Merlin MR650EVO. The compatibility PDF has it listed, and doesn't have the orange text saying "NEEDS ACCESSORY"

    However, it has the yellow learning light, which the pictures on the page say require an accessory.

    Which is it? I would hope/think that the actual compatibility list would be more reliable than 'yellow button bad'

    • CachePC on 15/08/2023 - 07:21

      Looked at the pdf for the installation. See pt 23 which had a wired wall switch. That's what you need to connect to the Meross

      • nightqueen on 15/08/2023 - 09:08

        My motor is plugged into a normal 240V power point. So I will need to change my PowerPoint to one that had a USB charger

        • placard on 15/08/2023 - 09:37

          Huh? Just get a double adaptor and replug back in your garage motor and in the second socket plug in a phone charger. Simple

        • Lukian on 15/08/2023 - 13:27

          Or get a single socket with USB ports on the side.

          • placard on 15/08/2023 - 14:35

            @Lukian: True. I just suggested my way thinking many people have double adaptors and/or old phone chargers laying around.

  • bio on 15/08/2023 - 09:17

    For sectional doors this is a better alternative as (1) you don't need a separate USB plug/charger, and (2) you don't have to install a magnetic sensor. The sensor is wireless, and you just stick it onto your door using double sided tape (this won't work for roller doors).

    You can buy it for ~$45-50 when on special:

  • placard on 15/08/2023 - 09:49

    Can this work on a roller door? I guess for the sensor part to detect open/closed status, it'd have to be stuck on the last bit of the door that when open doesn't bend, ie there's about 10-20cm of door that stays in the track but doesn't roll at the top. Because I can't work out how you'd attach the sensor to the bit that rolled, if that makes sense?

    Well I have been using a much cheaper product called Woofea from Ali express, it's been pretty good for the last three years. It costs less than $15 and provides extra features. It notifies you when your garage door is opened and closed.
