EVERSECUTuya Smart WiFi Switch Garage Door Opener Controller Compatible with Alexa Echo Google Home SmartLife/Tuya APP Control No Hub Required

I installed this for my mom in her garage after her Z-wave solution just wasn't cutting it unfortunately (had to exclude and include it every 6 months or so).This was easy to physically install, and the software (anything Tuya related) will control it nicely. I set it up as a local device with Home Assistant and have it so it doesn't require the cloud to function. Now, if the internet is down but the power is on, my mom can easily power her garage door.

This was very easy to set up. It worked the first time. I used the Smart Life app. It is nice that it has covers for the cables. The LED that lights up when sending the command to the opener is a plus. I also like that I could just plug it in vs usb cables and power bricks. Just having a power plug is one less thing to get loose and it has a clean look when everything is installed. In the Smart Life app it has a nice graphic showing opening or closing. It also has a reminder that the door is open. Also it integrates (smart life app) with google very well. One thing that is interesting is telling google to open or close the door. It has a PIN to do such which is a nice feature.

I followed the instructions by first connecting the wires to my garage door opener to test functionality. The most difficult part was getting the wires to stay inserted to the push pins with the thicker gauge wire coming from the wall. I finally got them to stick after a half dozen attempts. Use of the double sided tape made installation fast and easy. I needed twice as many zip ties than what were included. I appreciated the wiring guide options for the open/closed sensor. The instructions showed double sided tape could be used with mounting the L shaped mount, but I could not find one in the packaging. I had spare double sided tape from a cell phone mount and used it successfully.I installed SmartLife. I set the app to detect a new garage door device, plugged the power in for the controller, and in about 20 seconds the device was discovered on the first try.I first integrated SmartLife with Alexa. I programmed a security code and for some reason, it kept saying my code was incorrect. I never solved it (didn't really try more than 2 min) and abandoned the Alexa integration because I wanted more home automation control with my SmartThings controller.In SmartThings, if the garage door is opened, then it turns on the garage lights. Integration between SmartThings and SmartLife was easy and works great through the SmartThings app. The weird thing is, my SmartThings integrates to my Alexa and to open the garage door, I have to say, "Turn on garage door" and "Turn off garage door" to close it. Using off/on as the commands is awkward, but it works.

i've had this garage door opener for a bit over 5 or 6 months, and constantly had connection issues with my wifi. After close to 8 hours, it would disconnect, and the only way to have it connect again was to power cycle the device.The garage is separate from the house, so i figure it was just an issue with just bad wifi signal... until this week.I had a little project to utilize the mesh option on my fancy unifi system with a spare AP I had lying around in order to bring wifi and ethernet to my garage.Connection and reception was great! I had a POE camera attached, a smart light, and the garage opener synced to the new access point in the garage... even went as far as locking the garage door opener to the access point, just in case it decided to connect to my home's ap for whatever reason.Things were good for a day and a half... until this morning. the connection issue reared its head yet again, but this time it didn't have the excuse of being too far from the access point, as the AP shows a steady connection between the meshed network... but a creeping connectivity retry percentage *just* for the garage opener. I've also noticed that the latency while it's connected starts off extremely high, until i run latency tests, at which point it goes from 200+ ms, to just under 40 ms response time, with a signal strength of -44 dbm right before it disconnects.I think this might be an erroneous power save setting that makes zero sense.

works with all the other switches on Smart Life App.

Works very well and a very reasonably priced device to install on your garage door. Was pretty easy to setup as well.

... done it sooner!Literally took 10 minutes to install. It uses the standard 2 wire connection that your garage door wall button is already connected to.Hooked it up, used the included doublesided sticky pad to attach control device to the ceiling next to the opener, ran the included wire (plenty of it, I had about 5 feet left that I coiled up) to the garage door and mounted one side of the sensor. (screws are included). Mounted the other side of the sensor on the gage door itself (with included sticky pad, but there are also screw included that I later added for security).Added the wifi opener to the SmartLife app I already used for several other home automation gadgets and it worked. First try. Added

Had a hard time getting it to sync into my wifi. Fifth time worked for some reason. After that it works perfectly. Follow instructions PRECISELY. Give a few seconds (maybe a minute) for each thing to sync when setting up the WiFi. I have a GeniePro Max opener.Gives me a notice (set in Settings), when it goes up or down. Set it to close at a specific time each night. Gives me notice of that. Tells me when door is open for a set amount of time (I set that to 5 hours in settings). Works great. Can open or close it by app from anywhere, I guess. I know it works when 100 miles away by app. Works by Alexa voice also. The only thing I don’t like but DO understand is when I open the door by Alexa voice, I have to say a 4 digit code (I assigned). That is for security. I do not have to enter the same code when using the app. Wish I could tell Alexa what the code is that is stored in the app. Getting another for second door.
