NEXX Smart Garage WiFi Controller NXG-200 + 2 Nexx Smart Plug Bundle

We were able to get the NXG-200 integrated with Alexa and our Overhead Door garage door opener. The ideal way to connect is to attach the NXG controller directly to the control pins on the door opener. As mentioned in other reviews our opener was not directly compatible with the NXG. We needed to use the door opener adapter. Nexx provides the adapter free of charge and they turned around the request very quickly. Once connected, everything worked great. Alexa integration is hit or miss, but I think that is more of an Alexa issue than NXG issue because it is similar to problems we have with other devices. It usually just takes us repeating the request to fix the problem. There is a feature in the App to automatically open the door within a certain range of your house. It works intermittently, but it is clearly labeled as a beta feature. Overall I am happy with the purchase.

I did alot of research and finally settled on the NEXX 200 garage door opener - it seemed very simple to install and didn't require any hidden fees or monthly subscriptions. Instructions were very simple and straight-forward. Took a total of about 20 minutes to install. Initial set-up and pairing of receiver and base can all be done comfortably from your home - you don't have to install on garage door opener first to pair. This makes the installation very easy. Once the app was installed on my phone, the base connected to my wifi (must be 2.4 ghz) and the base and receiver paired, I was ready to install on garage door opener. This unit does require access to a standard wall outlet. I used the same one as the garage door opener was plugged into. I verified my opener was compatible using NEXX website so connecting the 2 wires to right terminals was easy. Installation from that point is placing the base unit near the garage door opener - I attached via sticky pads to the top of opener and connecting the wires via a plug to the base. Last step was to attach the receiver via velcro (provided) to the garage door. Tested with app and opened and closed with no problems. Unit beeps 3 times when it receives a signal then opens/closes the door. App clearly indicates whether door is open (shown in red) or closed (green). I was able to add another user in about 2 minutes. They just installed NEXX app on their phone, created an account and then I added them to have access. When you add for access, you can set limits on what actions that user can do to include only having access during certain dates/times. Very satisfied with this product and impressed with how quickly it all installed. BTW, I have a 15 year old Genie garage door opener. I found it on the NEXX website with clear instructions regarding which terminals to connect to.

If you want a garage door alert and remote system that is reliable then get something else. The motion/tilt sensor on the Nexxt garage door device is wonky at best. Plus it is battery operated so eventually will fail. Look for a device that uses a wires sensor with magnets like the meross instead. I got the nexxt for the auto open feature but never got to test it because the nexxt had a hard time with events from wall switch or remotes and falsely thinking the door was opened. Three thumbs down on this product

Took a lot longer to set up than anticipated. Even following directions to the letter, I had to factory reset the unit three times before it both linked up with the WIFI and Bluetooth to the door sensor.Once fully installed, it works like a champ. There are garage opening devices which come fully equipped with remote and Alexa type capabilities, but we’ve already got a very good but a bit older system and this was a good much less expensive substitute for a new one.Had used the older Nexx system with the wire to the sensor which worked well for years but left it with the buyers of a previous house. This newer model’s remote sensor attached to the garage door is much better than having to arrange the magnet and wire arraignment of the older system.Haven’t tried the geofencing automatic opener part but hope it works as well. If not, will update this review.

It was such a struggle to find a garage door that works with Alexa.Chamberlain makes them all and doesn’t like amazon for some reason.This was my hope.I wanted something wireless as I’m OCD. And I needed simple Alexa integration.I kept having trouble getting the two units to pair but they finally did and I was in businessHowever Alexa would tell me the door was open When it was closed and vice versaSometimes she would say she didn’t know At all.Tech support told me the pairing wasn’t working. I needed to pair again.I wanted to say, “do you know how much trouble I had pairing to begin with?”But I listened. And redid it. And boom. It works and hasn’t let me down sinceThe voice notifications are annoying to me. I’d be on a phone call and Nexx would interrupt to tell me the garage was opening.but I turned them off and I’m good to go nowConsidering buying a second for my other garage door.They’re pricey but they work.... eventuslly

Door sensor always loosing contact with main unit and does not report correctly and opens on its own in the middle of the night especially

Does not always communicate outside of the home. A lot of difficulty to set up
