Review: muy útil - Tu celular se convierte en una extensión para el acceso y control de tu garage
Review: Liftmaster 828LM Internet gateway - There seems to be a number of now outdated videos to help setting up this device so I thought it worth while to provide more recent information. Even the most recent video I found seems to be slightly different than my experience but it was the most helpful. Having said all that, it is easier than I would have ever expected. 1. You will need to download the My Q app onto your phone and set up an account. (Note: This is not the same as setting up an account with Chamberlin or Liftmaster. (I discovered that the hard way.) 2. Write down the serial number off the back of the unit. You will need that. 3. Plug the cables into the device. (Power and Ethernet cable) This device will live by your router and is hardwired to it. The videos I found said the blue power light will illuminate. On mine, it flashed for a moment when I applied power and then remains out. The green light will start blinking and go solid in a very short amount of time, at least in my case. It is now ready. 3. When you begin the setup in the app, you will find "Smart Garage Hub" in the devices. Do Not pick Garage Door. Once you select smart garage hub you will see pictures of the various types. Pick the one that looks like the 828LM and follow the prompts to enter the serial number you wrote down previously. When you get to the prompt, hit "allow for home data". Other settings can be adjusted later if you want. I left them at whatever the default was. (During setup, I did rename mine garage door.) 4. When it is time for pairing, you will go out to the garage and either press the YELLOW pairing button on the ceiling opener, or if your wired wall button has a learn button under the smoke cover you can press that twice instead of climbing a ladder to get to the learn (yellow) button on the motor. Be prepared for this in advance so you know what you will need to do. When I did mine, I began with the door open. Once I got the message that the pairing was complete, I could see in the app the door was open. It didn't work immediately so I closed the door with the button and after that it worked as expected. Maybe I just didn't wait long enough or it didn't like the door being open to begin with, but after that it has worked flawlessly. When you send a close command through the app, there is a delay. the light blinks the door beeps to alert anyone that it is about to close. This is a safety feature and not a flaw. It would allow time for someone to get out of the way of the door. Also, from what I understand, you can control multiple doors, (or gates), with the one internet gateway as well as installing this app in multiple phones, such as your spouse. So, you could have three doors and control them all with one gateway. They MUST have a yellow learn button on the ceiling motor and say My Q with no other verbage with the My Q lettering on the side of the ceiling motor. Any time the door is open or closed, even when it is not through the app, you can be notified of its status unless you disable that notification. Anyplace your phone has an internet connection, you can control the operation of the door. (You're at the grocery store and don't remember if you closed the door. You can check the app and close it if you forgot, or open it for someone if needed.)

- Programming Guide: Download the MyQ app onto your phone and set up an account. While setting up in the app, select "Smart Garage Hub" in the devices. Do Not pick Garage Door. Once you select Smart Garage Hub, you will see pictures of various models. Pick the one that looks like the 828LM model and follow the prompts to enter the serial number of the unit off the back.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does the gateway communicate with the garage door opener? I don't have good WiFi reception in my garage if that's needed.**
A: The garage door opener does not use WiFi as some suggest.  The gateway connects directly to your router utilizing an RJ-45 cable.  It then operates exactly like a garage door opener, using those Radio Frequencies to do so. You create an account on myliftmaster.com to enable the ability to connect to your gateway at home from anywhere.  The "WiFi" connectivity they speak of, is actually the ability to utilize your cell phone or WiFi-enabled internet device to access myliftmaster.com and operate your garage door.  Otherwise, this device operates like any other opener, and it is NOT using 802.11 signals like others have suggested.  Please take a garage door opener to the location of your internet router.  If you can still open/close the door, you can use this gateway.

**Q: Does this device, with the Android app, let you know if the door is open or closed, or does it just let you change the state from one to the other?   I.e., if I don't know if the door is open or closed, is this useless?**
A: I get a notification when garage door gets opened and closed, at the moment it happens.  The app, as stated, will tell you current state.  I also have my MyQ hooked up to my Wink, which adds the ability to let me know "the garage is still open" after specified time window. I may have missed that my garage door was opened, but I want a notification if the garage is left open for 30 minutes...as a reminder that it is still open.  This is always my fear, that I left the garage open.  With the notifications only on the change of open/close, I may not know that the garage remains open, since I get busy doing other things and don't check the MyQ app every 15 minutes.  I don't believe the MyQ alone will do this.

**Q: What is the maximum distance between router and the wireless garage door opener?  My closest internet connection is about 100 ft from openers.  Thanks**
A: I am not sure. I will be happy to look at the paperwork that came with the unit and reply later, but suffice to say, my garage door opener and this unit are approximately 80-90 feet away. I would say it would be whatever distance your current remote garage door opener currently works. As I understand this unit, it works like a remote garage door opener (like the one in your car), but it is controlled through the internet so you can open/close the garage literally wherever you have an internet/smartphone connection - and it be within rage of what your remote works. Again, it must be connected to the internet, so if you have an extra port in your router to connect this unit, you are set! This unit is NOT wireless. I did not have enough ports in my router, so I connected it through my satellite box which is connected to the internet.

**Q: Does all traffic get routed through the myq servers (ie does myq have control over the door and surveillance of the house)?**
A: Goes through their server; what is worse is that you have no clue when the server goes down or gets hosed. You know nothing other than the app on the phone cannot connect to the server.
Yeah, they could open/close your door but honestly, are you that important for anyone else to bother ? Me neither. 
But what really annoys me is that this thing has no debug mode other than blinking lights and the reset button... and when it is acting weird, you never know what is wrong. I am to the point of throwing in the trash can and buying our 4th remote controller.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No More Left-Opened Garage Doors; & Great for Package Security - ALL FLAWLESS
*by D***E on 19 December 2019*

I bought this because my sister accidentally left her garage door opened overnight; and being unaware of this the contents therein were burglarized. That's when I bought might. I also received a good amount of deliveries and I liked how I'd be able to remotely open my garage door to give others access. The setup of the unit really was a breeze, largely because it required an Ethernet (as opposed to a WiFi) connection to your network. However, I admit that setup was slightly confusing with two separate installation documents provided. Wisely I think, I watched two YouTube videos that ironed out the installation sequence "hands-on." I have a new 3-module (TP-Link) mesh whole home network system, and like at least one other here, was concerned because the two Ethernet ports on the module connected to my ISP's modem were obviously being used (1 IN from the modem, 1 OUT to an 8-port Ethernet switch), and the instructions state to connect this product to the router. HOWEVER, I found that the two Ethernet ports on one of my other two remaining modules worked perfectly, and simply used one of those. I received the solid green light (confirming connection) immediately. PERFECT! Registering the unit on the web was easy, and even going to my garage to press the "LEARN" buttons separately on each of my two garage door openers (I have two, one for the left and right, resp., outwardly-open garage doors) took ONLY the requisite two (on each) presses (they were the wall units; if you go to the motor unit on your ceiling it is a single press). I then downloaded the app and very intuitively and within seconds set up an alert that should either of my doors be open for more than 10 minutes, I'd get both a push and email notification. That's exactly what I wanted. Lastly, I very much like the idea that should I get a mid-day delivery that includes my being in contact with the deliverer, OR, I can contact a neighbor, I can now open either my L or R garage doors and have them place the package or large box or furniture inside my garage. Of course it's a big help that I have a security cam on the garage door. Ultimately, this product and its attendant app does precisely what I wanted and expected it to do. EMBARRASSINGLY, I've actually owned it since mid-July, but just installed it here mid-December. OK, so that's on me and my ubiquitous procrastination. But I truly don't know why I waited so long because after I took 15 minutes to read the documentation and find a couple of online videos, the full process of adding two "devices" (my left and right garage door openers, separately) took all of maybe 10 minutes. And now I have great peace of mind!
