It worked, and this video was helpful. As a tip, I went ahead and plugged it in before mounting it, and then set the the smaller device up on a step ladder and then paired it and tested it before going through the trouble of drilling and taping, etc. I wanted to make sure it all worked first. It did, and so far so good, so now I have more permanently mounted it per these guidelines.
Great video! I like how you explained things in a manner where an “all thumbs” kinda guy like me could understand! Thank you!

Two suggestions/corrections: 1) make sure you have a good Wi-Fi signal at that location before installing the mount; 2) use the long screws into the drywall anchors - the short screws are for mounting the door sensor to the garage door and are too short to expand the anchor behind the drywall to secure it.

The door sensor mounts with included velcro strips, not with either of the included screws.

Awesome tutorial and great recommendation! I was worried that because my garage was on the older side I wouldn’t be able to find an easy way to connect my garage door to my smartphone, but this proved me wrong! As soon I saw this video, I ordered it with same day shipping from Amazon. Install was very easy and I like that the app also walks you through installation- step by step. Could not recommend this more, thank you!!

Great video.. would give tip if you’ve gone though this set up and opening and closing is inconsistent.. especially closes, but often won’t open you could be getting interference from LED or halogen lights in garage.. mentioned in support troubleshooting guide that they can give off radio interference. I needed to remove all LED bulbs.. reset MYQ hub and redo setup.. if just remove bulbs, it will still have faulty code for garage door and still be spotty. After doing this it works flawlessly every time!

You can also link to Ring with that setup and control and monitor with your Ring App
the short screws are for the sensor and the long screws are for drywall.

What a great tutorial! Can I pair one MyQ with two garage doors?
How does the sensor know if the door is open or closed or half way or anything? How is the sensor calibration to what? It’s it any movement it registers and considers that a valid open or close command
Very informative. Velcro stick-ons in the garage? Come on MyQ....
Do the photo sensors have to be working for this to work?
So there are 3 buttons on the control hub. Can I set it up to where I can push the button and open/close the door?
Question: Looked at the manual and it is unclear, do the buttons on the front of the Hub marked for Door 1 and Door 2 function as an opener?
Interesting, I just put a chamberlain in last night. It says it is blue tooth and wifi, and tells me to download the MyQ, buuuuttt...I did not get that device you just installed. Now I need to read more!!!
I haven't seen this anywhere. Perhaps you can help. Can you setup and operate the garage door without a myq sensor? I want to use myq hub with a ramset gate opener that closes automatically after 10 seconds and works with a typical multicode control.
How frequently have you had to change out batteries? Thanks
can the hub be placed anywhere in the garage? the app/quick start looks to be right above the garage motor
Right at the last you mentioned LTE or 5G connection but I did not understand how this works with WiFi? Also does the app warn about when to change battery?
If I have an older but still working garage motor without a learn button (old screw/wires/flipswitch code kind) - is there a wire i can hook to hub directly ?
Great job!!! Unfortunately my craftsman won't work!
Great video.Does the senser need battery?
Does the hub have to be in the garage?
great video ...i have 2 doors and was told i can program both doors to one module. Assuming this is correct, i am guessing rinse and repeat for both doors. Can anyone confirm?
How do you get rid of the alarm when closing the garage door?
Hi I have a question. If my door open side by side. I meant like a door room. Also will work on it ? Thanks :)
I just installed mine recently. I wish the programming was as easy as the demo here! It took me over 3 hours from unboxing to operation! Lots of glitches encountered. Had to find phone # to Chamberlain and call tech support because my app kept rejecting my wifi password! He had me do a back door setup to get the password to work. He admitted there must be a bug in the app preventing me from entering my wifi password! THEN, try to pair the opener to the hub! OMG! Almost gave up because the app kept saying my machine was not compatible and I could only use it to find out if my door was opened or closed! Not having that! My Genie has a program button, but it's black. The LED indicator lights are buried deep inside the machine, so nothing like the instructions say. + the button has to be HELD down for over 2 seconds! NOT a doorbell press. AND, I had to have a hand held car remote on top of that! Had to go through setup over and over and over again until, like an hour later...Finally paired! Now, it sorta works, the the built-in LED light does NOT flash when I hit close on the app! What a mess! So, beware, it is a bear.
Can you open door partially with myQ ?
What are the buttons for on the MyQ hub?
Does this work with Lift master made by Chamberlain ?
Thanks for the video. Were you able to mount the hub at least the 4 feet away from metal specified in instructions? It seems unreasonable to expect this since most folks will plug it into the ceiling receptacle near both the motor, tracks, and hardware associated with the door.

Quick question. What does the hub do? Why would I get one. I'm asking because I want to know if I really need it or not. Thanks!
can I mount hub on ceiling
Can I pair a Ryobi?
Can you use this on any garage opener?
By installing that will that unprogram my 2 garage door clickers?
do you have to conect to the garage opener?
Can I connect this to Google home app?
Hi, do i need a hub or garage door opener even if my opener has myq logo??
So I just learned that if my opener has the MyQ logo on it, all I need is the app & dont have to buy the "MyQ garage door opener by Chamberlain. ". Would this be correct?
Just installed mine (great instructions)... turns out the unit is pretty useless though. Doesn't allow Alexa integration... and pretty much just allows you to open and close the garage door using your phone instead of the remote on the visor in your car.... sooooo... a lot of work, just to be able to do what you can do with the remote. As far as "Well, it tells you if the door is open or not"... I have a camera in the garage that tells me that. Heard Simple Command would allow you to control your garage with Alexa... but they went out of business and are no more. So, great instructions... was easy to install... just a completely usless device.
Hi, great video! What size and type of screws and anchor do you need?

They come with the product. You don’t have to order separately
did you connect to a 2.5 or 5 Ghz? with the app..
I have 2 doors. Can the app support 2?
My security system requires I use 2.4Ghz, will this also work ?
Does it work with Genie?
Do you really need to mount the hub? Is it necessary?
If you have dedicated garage door openers. Do they have to be reprogrammed at the same time you are programming the app? Or do they remain unaffected?

Unaffected unless you hold the program button on the opener too long, which could wipe out all devices.
Does adding the MyQ system override the factory provided keypad, or remotes?

Not if you do it right. It won’t reset the keypad but it might reset the remote.
Question. Does the hub need to be on the ceiling? I saw a lot of people do that but you just mentioned "6ft above the ground". So wall works as well?

Yes the way works perfectly fine.
Does the hub needs to be facing the sensor? Same height level, facing each other without obstructions. Or, can have be installed on side wall?

Hmmm, interestingly enough, it's not the same steps to reconnect if you ever reprogram your garage door opener. At the 00:06:08 mark of your video, these steps vary if the device has been removed from the garage door opener's old program setting. I am going to see if it is possible to do a factory reset on the Q Hub, uninstall the app from the iPhone too, and treat this as if it was a brand new instalation. Let's see if this will allow me to reconnect successfully back onto my WiFi network. Thanks for your video, it's better than than what the Q Hub folks have up on their troubleshooting videos, LOL.
i notice that if you closed your garage door it will have sensor sound - so how can you turn it off?
Does this work with Alexa or Google Assistant?
Pair with Alexa?
Mine will start to open maybe a couple inches and stop. Same with trying to close the door
Does the sensor have to be on the right or left of the garage door? can it be in the middle?

My app (MyQ) keeps asking me to press the learn button and wait for a beep. The beep never happens and connection fails. You must be using an older version of the app. Installation is different now.
Is there a paid subscription required and does it make a alert beeping noise when closing?
