Compatibility

EcosystemSupportThe catch
Apple HomeDoesn't workVerified: does not work with this ecosystem[22]There is no Apple Home support and no Matter path. The myQ Home Bridge, the accessory that provided it, was discontinued in August 2022; Chamberlain said under 1% of users used it. People who moved to the community Homebridge workaround were cut off in October 2023 when Chamberlain blocked third-party access. Chamberlain's own integrations article lists Apple HomeKit and Siri as unsupported. Watch the logo list: the same page shows Apple Watch as supported. That is the myQ app's own watch app, not Apple Home, and a buyer scanning logos will misread it.
Amazon AlexaPartialPartial support — see the catch[22]There is no general-purpose myQ Alexa skill. What exists is Amazon Key In-Garage Delivery, which links the accounts so a driver can open the door; Chamberlain lists Amazon Key as a supported partner and documents the setup. It requires Prime and both apps, is limited to what Chamberlain calls 'several cities and their surrounding areas' in the US and Canada, and opening by voice requires a spoken PIN. Recorded as partial rather than full because 'works with Alexa' would overstate it: this is a delivery integration that happens to involve Alexa, not general voice control. We could not read Amazon's own Key page on the research day, so Amazon's current description of the programme is unverified and this rests on Chamberlain's documentation alone.
Google HomeDoesn't workVerified: does not work with this ecosystem[22]Removed. Chamberlain discontinued the Google Assistant integration for new users after Google shut down the feature it relied on in June 2023, telling the press the integration 'is not a user-friendly experience'. Google Home now appears in the unsupported list on Chamberlain's own integrations article. People who were already linked may keep it working, but if they log out of Google they cannot relink; it is a decaying grandfather clause, and a new buyer gets nothing. We could not retrieve the Google community thread, so there is no Google-authored statement here; this rests on Chamberlain disclaiming its own integration plus trade press from the time.
SmartThingsDoesn't workVerified: does not work with this ecosystem[22]Chamberlain's integrations article lists SmartThings as unsupported and discontinued. The community side agrees: the long-running community integration is archived and labelled obsolete in its own title. A successor exists but requires you to run a bridge program continuously on a computer at home, and it is exposed to the same blocking that killed its predecessor. There is no sanctioned path.
Home AssistantDoesn't workVerified: does not work with this ecosystem[5][21]Removed from Home Assistant core in release 2023.12 on 2023-12-06, announced by Home Assistant itself: 'we cannot continue to work around Chamberlain Group if they keep blocking access to third parties', with a maintainer describing 'a game of cat and mouse with MyQ and right now it looks like the cat is winning'. Home Assistant also states it declined authorised-partner status because it would require paying fees, which conflicts with its open-source model. Chamberlain's own position was published 2023-10-25 by CTO Dan Phillips, claiming unauthorised integrations came from 0.2% of myQ users yet generated more than half of platform traffic and 'at times constituted a substantial DDOS event'. Home Assistant's own recommended replacement is ratgdo — a local board that bypasses the cloud entirely.

Protocols: WIFI[3][22]

Needs before it works: No separate hub; this device is the bridge. It joins your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and pairs with your existing opener through the opener's learn button, with a wireless sensor on the door to report open or closed. Bluetooth is used only during setup. A myQ account is mandatory and there is no documented way to control it on your home network, so Chamberlain's cloud is an unavoidable dependency. The myQ Home Bridge, the accessory that once added Apple Home, is discontinued; Chamberlain's own support article says so in its title.[32]

What it can do[30][33]

You can tell it to

  • Open/close

It reports

  • Contact state

Whether each platform's automations and routines can use it — not just whether its app shows it.

What it doesAlexa
Open/close✓ routines can use it
Contact state✓ routines can use it

Platform documentation: Amazon Alexa — automation engine ceiling (eight terms observed; residue inconclusive by refusal) (2026-09-01)

Some of these may need a paid plan — see Subscription reality below.

Listed capabilities are what we could establish from vendor documentation. An ability missing here is unestablished — not necessarily absent.

Subscription reality[10]Seller's spec sheet, checked 2026-08-20This fact comes from a retailer or review specification listing rather than from the manufacturer. Last checked 2026-08-20.

◐ Works without a subscription: Yes. The maker also sells an optional paid plan.

Vendor account required: Yes — you must create a vendor account to use it. (established from the vendor's own setup steps, where signing in is mandatory before the device can be added)[34]

App control and alerts are free; the paywall sits on third-party connections, not on the basic product. We deliberately record no current price for the paid tier. The widely repeated '$1 a month or $10 a year' traces to a single 2017 trade-press article, and no Chamberlain page states a present price, so we leave it blank rather than carry a nine-year-old figure. One disclosure gap worth knowing: IFTTT's own page says the subscription is required, while Chamberlain's own IFTTT setup article mentions no fee at all. Two other paid myQ services are separate and not part of this product: video storage for myQ cameras, and in-car control sold through automakers.

Maintenance reality

Security updates[28]

Chamberlain publishes no security-update support date for this model. That is a gap in what the manufacturer has published, not evidence either way — some makers declare a support period and some say nothing at all.

No support period is published for this product, and we looked in three places. Chamberlain's UK regulatory declaration, signed September 2024, covers only European models and defines its support period as 'ended when the product is End of Service', with no date. Chamberlain's own firmware-update article describes automatic updates and names no period. And Chamberlain's product page carries no readable statement about it. So Chamberlain has published a support statement for its European gateways, tied even that to an unpublished end-of-service event, and published nothing for this US model. A newer version of the declaration naming US models would change this answer.

The catch

You are buying a cloud appliance from a company with a documented, still-running habit of removing integrations, and the ones that survive are the weakest versions possible. Apple Home: gone. Google Home: gone. SmartThings: gone. Home Assistant: blocked by Chamberlain. Matter and Thread: explicitly refused in Chamberlain's own unsupported list. What remains is Amazon Key in-garage delivery, which needs Prime and works only in some areas, and IFTTT, which sits behind a paywall Chamberlain's own instructions do not mention and cannot open the door at all, only close it. One more trap for a brand-new opener: Chamberlain's Security+ 3.0 openers launched in November 2025 with a white learn button, and this accessory's compatibility article does not mention them; it still talks about yellow, purple, orange-red and green buttons. Whether this accessory works on Chamberlain's own current openers is a question Chamberlain does not answer.

Who it's for

Households that want app control, status and alerts for a garage door, are content to live inside the myQ app, and specifically want Amazon Key in-garage delivery, which is the one integration here that is genuinely well supported and the reason many people buy it. It is cheap, it is the incumbent, and for that narrow job it works. It is the wrong buy for anyone who wants their garage in Apple Home, Google Home, SmartThings or Home Assistant, because those paths do not exist and their absence is a deliberate vendor decision rather than a technical limit. It is also the wrong buy for anyone who wants control when the internet is down, for anyone shopping for Matter hardware, and, until Chamberlain updates its own compatibility documentation, for anyone whose opener has a white learn button.

The absence of an open-door action is read directly off IFTTT's own action list. RECORDED BECAUSE THE COMMON CLAIM IS WRONG: IFTTT is frequently described as having been removed in late 2023; Chamberlain's October 2023 statement explicitly preserved it ('approved smart home integrations also remain in place').

  9.

THE UNRESOLVED PART: Chamberlain's compatibility article for THIS accessory (support.chamberlaingroup.com/s/article/garage-door-openers-compatible-with-smart-garage-control) does not mention Security+ 3.0 at all and still frames compatibility around yellow, purple, orange-red and green learn buttons, with no white-button entry — while the Security+ 3.0 user guide separately lists 'Smart Garage Hub' among compatible products.

Every integration cell was re-read against Chamberlain's own current integrations article, the partner list at myq.com/works-with-myq, and the opener-compatibility article. Outcome: no cell moved, and the two conflicts this record documents were both re-checked rather than assumed — the Apple Watch/HomeKit logo trap is still live on Chamberlain's own page, and the Security+ 3.0 omission still stands. ⚠ THE MARKET AXIS IS DELIBERATELY NOT ADVANCED: chamberlain.com could not be read by any route we allow ourselves that day (a redirect to the root when read directly, an empty document in a browser), so price and availability keep their true 2026-07-19 date. This record therefore stays at the head of the re-verification docket, which is the correct outcome — an unreadable vendor store is a reason to remain stale, not a reason to re-stamp., verified 2026-08-12

  27. [27] Chamberlain's own integrations article (support.chamberlaingroup.com/s/article/myQ-Integrations-Supported-Partners-and-Platforms) and the calibrated CSA-IoT registry negative — both already cited on this record — Recorded from our own earlier read, verified 2026-08-20

  28. [28] Chamberlain GmbH, UK PSTI Declaration (doc.chamberlain.de/PSTI/PSTI_Declaration_V4_2024.pdf), read in full 2026-08-20. Signed i.V. Christoph Marny, Manager Regulatory Affairs, Saarbruecken, 25.09.2024. "Defined support period: Support is ended when product is End of Service". Products named: "828EV, 828EV-xxyyzz, 830REV, 830REV-xxyyzz (Gateway)" and "LM3800W, LM3800W-2, LM3800EV-xxyyzz (RJO)" — MYQ-G0401-ESMC is not among them. The About section adds: "Security updates can be provided up until the end-of-life date of the applicable products. Please visit Liftmaster Global Homepage (https://www.liftmaster.eu/en-gb/home) regarding the support period of the products." Corroborating sources the same day: Chamberlain's own over-the-air firmware article states no support period, and chamberlain.com returns no readable product text when read directly. — Read the original source directly, verified 2026-08-20

  29. [29] Capabilities assessment, 2026-08-20. The only automation-facing source located for myQ is PLATFORM-scoped rather than model-scoped: myq.com/works-with-myq/ifttt states "Once connected, use your IFTTT app to select an existing myQ Applet, or customize one of your own to trigger other smart home devices based on your garage door's activity", with worked applets — "Close the garage every night at 8PM", "When I leave my house, close my garage door", "When I leave/arrive through the garage, turn off/on my thermostat". That names both a trigger (door activity) and an action (close the door). Chamberlain's own integrations article, re-read the same day, lists Google Home, SmartThings, Hubitat, Wink, Amazon Sidewalk, Thread, Matter, ADT, Apple HomeKit and Siri as NOT supported, and names no capability detail for the platforms it does support. chamberlain.com returns no readable product text when read directly. — Read on the maker's own site, verified 2026-08-20
  30. [30] Chamberlain's own myQ integrations article, re-read 2026-08-20: partner links without model enumeration or stated controllable functions. This record additionally carries an IFTTT listing with 4 triggers and 3 actions (close door, light on, light off), which is scoped to the myQ SERVICE rather than to this model. — Read on the maker's own site, verified 2026-08-20

  32. [32] https://support.chamberlaingroup.com/s/myq-set-up/smart-garage-control — Chamberlain's own myQ Smart Garage Control setup guide. Its 'what you need' list is 'A smartphone with the myQ app installed' and 'A 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network' — no hub, bridge or gateway among the requirements — and the page distinguishes this model from its siblings as 'Smart Garage Control: White hub, no Ethernet port'. Setup pairs the door sensor and links directly to the opener. — Read on the maker's own site, verified 2026-08-21

  35. [35] No source was read for this entry, deliberately. It records a classification so the classification is not silent: what was classified is evidence this record already carried — the integration catches and the citations already listed on this page — and none of it was altered., verified 2026-08-22
  36. [36] chamberlain.com's crawl-rules file, re-read 2026-08-26: it opened and served 869 bytes, and the catch-all group that applies to us puts /cart off limits, alongside /checkout, /my-account, /order, /orders and their /ca and /us/es variants. The site itself still refuses us both when read directly and in a browser (a site-security block, registered 2026-07-28)., verified 2026-08-26
  37. [37] the record's own customer-facing prose fields as they stood before 2026-09-05 (no new external read), verified 2026-09-05
  38. [38] The catch this record states named a flat $65 against a recorded $64.99, inside a sentence asking whether the accessory works with Chamberlain's current openers. The figure was doing nothing for that question and is removed. NOTHING WAS RE-READ: the recorded price was already right and only the customer-facing sentence lagged behind it, so no axis stamp advances here — a freshness date asserts a look, and no look was taken (P-10). Found by replaying our check for corrected facts still living in customer-facing prose across 393 commits of history., verified 2026-09-08
  39. [39] Three Chamberlain surfaces read 2026-09-10, all of which let us in and none of which is usable: https://support.chamberlaingroup.com/s/article/myQ-Integrations-Supported-Partners-and-Platforms returned 54 characters (a page that builds itself in the browser, the same shape as the LiftMaster owner's manual read earlier); https://www.myq.com/works-with-myq returned 3,015 characters of partner marketing with no specification; https://www.myq.com returned nothing at all. Both fields stay unanswered. This is a set of pages that would not render rather than a maker that does not publish, and a browser read is the named route. — Read on the maker's own site, verified 2026-09-10
  40. [40] https://support.chamberlaingroup.com/s/myq-set-up/pair-app-with-garage — Chamberlain's myQ app setup guide, read in a browser with its tabs expanded 2026-09-12. Verbatim under '✅What You'll Need': 'A smartphone with the latest version of the myQ app installed' / 'Download on the App Store or Download on Google Play'. Corroborated on this product's OWN manual, already cited on this record: https://cgi.widen.net/content/ottqgh4crq/pdf/114-5737-000.pdf (114-5737-000, 'Smart Garage Control'), whose setup step 1 reads 'Download the myQ app' and whose installation page closes with the two store attributions 'App Store and the Apple and App Store logos are trademarks of Apple Inc.' and 'Google Play and the Google Play logo are trademarks of Google LLC.' — the notice that accompanies the two download badges. ⚠ NOT the site-wide-footer question: both statements sit in setup instructions for this device, not in a site footer. — Read the original source directly, verified 2026-09-12

  41. [41] https://cgi.widen.net/content/ottqgh4crq/pdf/114-5737-000.pdf — Chamberlain manual 114-5737-000 for the Smart Garage Control, read 2026-09-12 (it opened and served 3.96 MB, with a text layer in the PDF). The 'Accessories and Parts' inventory lists a 'Power Adapter' in the box alongside the Hub, Door Sensor and mounting plate, and the 'Choose the Hub Location' instructions require the hub to be mounted 'within 5 feet of an outlet', repeated in the diagram caption 'Mount within 5 ft of an outlet'. The troubleshooting section reinforces it in the same terms — 'plug a working lamp into the same power outlet to check the outlet is providing power' and 'try plugging the hub into another outlet in the home'. That is a cord-and-adapter device drawing from a wall socket: plug-in. ⚠ This is the maker's own printed instruction, not an inference from a product photograph — the distinction the powerSource playbook requires. — Read the original source directly, verified 2026-09-12
