I'll be installing this one as a solution this weekend.

FYI if you plan on linking this to an existing home automation system, like Google Home or SmartThings, Chamberlain charges an extra fee, $1 per month or $10 per year. Google it for more info. Just in case you were not aware, before you opened the package... You can use it with no extra fees if just direct via the app, but they charge if you want to integrate with other systems...

Thanks for the tip!

@jayely1 @DtotheW I like that! Is it visible at all from outside the vehicle? We don't leave ours on visors as it because it's too visible.

Not visible at all.

Fyi I have the myQ app and device installed at home. I don't want to open the app to open the garage door. I'd rather just hit a physical button.

I think you still need to buy the smart garage hub for this to work right? I also have the myQ app and can currently open/close through the iphone app, but looking for something where I can just say "hey siri, open garage door."

Here you go. I made two and named them open and close but they both do the same thing.

I mounted my garage door opened under the screen today and what a genius location it is! Can’t even tell it’s there. I posted a few photos so you can see how there’s juuuuuust enough room to not block the top door of the center console

Interesting. I didn't realize the screen case and mount were so thick.

Thanks @DtotheW! We also have myQ with our opener. It's handy enough for opening the garage door, but I dislike closing it using the app because the opener emits a bunch of warning noises for the entire time of the closing (and a bit more at the beginning).

double sided tape on the back of my screen. Works great!

Thank you! This is a slick tip!

I have the myQ from chamberlain so I can check if I left it open. But I also keep the original garage door opener in the organizer in my center console.
I do not leave things out on visors. Had a friend get his broke into, and they try to get the garage door opener and registration to head to your house, open the garage etc. it’s a cruel world.

Thanks for the Siri shortcut tip. Feel like its a tad advanced, but worth it. Anyone who tries it I attached some things that need to be edited. Uses a auth token and name for the myQ garage door.
Amy app developer would be right at home hah.

“Hey Siri open/close garage” works now.
