A:AnswerYou can use both your smartphone and your original garage door opener but you must be careful not to clear the communication codes when syncing your devices. You my have to reprogram your garage door opener after installing this device. Refer to your garage door opener instructions or go online to see some videos on how to setup your devices with your garage door opener.
A:AnswerIt does cover the situation you envision. It is able to sense openings and closings, both manual and through the system. And if you tell the app to send push notifications it does so even for manual commands.
A:AnswerIt programs just like a door opener. You just have to hit the learn button. It does not physically connect to the motor. And it doesn't actually have to be mounted to the ceiling. It just has to be within 30 feet of the door sensor.
A:AnswerI am successfully using it on a slide opening gate, without the sensor in place. However, my gate is controlled by a garage door opener, not a gate opener. You can use this device to control myq compatible openers without having to use the included sensor.
A:AnswerNo, you need a second sensor. You can buy directly from Chamberlain. The base unit will handle 2 doors with 2 sensors.
A third door requires a second base unit.

A:AnswerYes, you have to pay $10/year to be able to control it with anything besides their app - Google Home, etc. Also they explicitly dont support being able to open the door with voice commands from Google Home or Alexa for "security reasons". Disappointing.
A:AnswerNo you follow the setup on your phone. when you get to the pairing setup you will just find the learn button on your opener and press it quickly and your all set. No need to have your remote. I would recommend a new remote as a backup just in case your wifi is out.
A:AnswerThe myQ Smart Garage Hub is compatible with most garage door opener brands manufactured after 1993. If your garage door opener has safety sensors, it is likely compatible.
A:AnswerYou mean use it and it works?
Sure. But u better have a house made of paper.
Or have a $400 WiFi router.
Or move ur garage door to the third floor.
