I have used MyQ product to good effect, but with a Chamberlain GDO.

If you have actual experience using the MyQ product, with an MVP garage door opener, I would appreciate your comments about your experiences.

Thanks, in advance.

Oooohhhh

I'll take you up on that. Looking at the specs I was not confident that all the functionality, including full remote door control, was going to be available in the MVP setup.

Please do let me know, and I'll be in your debt.

What company are you using? I'm thinking about this myself.

I know that I self-installed, up north. It was stupid easy. DID need to get on a ladder to install one unit in the garage ceiling. The other unit just sticks to the inside of the garage door, with Velcro.

Decided to buy it at 7 pm
ordered at Home Depot by 7:30 pm
picked up at 8:30 pm at Home Depot
installed by 10:00 pm

installation instructions were very clear and worked very easily
the hardest part was getting up on the ladder and pushing the learn button
and pushing the learn button, and pushing the learn button
until we made a location adjustment, worked in about 2 minutes

We are DIYers for the most part, do quite a bit ourselves, so have the tools, and lots of fixing experience.

Very handy device, have mine programmed to close the doors @ 11PM in case we forget to close one.

To be clear, working completely with old MVP openers?

Mine worked for a couple years, but then one of the two doors failed. Reconnecting no longer worked. It seems that Chamberlain works hard at making MyQ NOT work with these door openers.

I switched to Aladdin.

I have been much happier with this. It will even allow you to set up an iPhone shortcut so that you can have Siri open the garage door using a voice command rather than actually handling the phone. MyQ could not set up shortcuts!

Aladdin is also compatible with Amazon Key In Delivery, which makes it safer to receive high value packages.

I tried using MyQ with the existing MVP garage door opener. I called Chamberlin and was told MVP was not compatible. I ended up just replacing the MVP garage door opener with a Chamberlin one.

THIS is what I feared. MyQ is not compatible with old MVP technology. Thank you for getting me to my answer!

Mine worked for a few months, then stopped. Rehooked it up and only sends me alerts when I use the remote. Doesn’t operate the door now.

And are you still running the contractor-installed MVP brand garage door openers?

[ElDiabloJoe]

Just last week replaced an 18 year old "OverHead Door" company garage door opener. New one is a Genie. MUCH quieter. The app took a call to customer service to set it up (was pressing the wrong button for the wifi connect). App works great so far. Get alerts to my Lock Screen when garage door is opened or closed. Plus, can be opened or closed anywhere in the world you have a wifi connection.

So far, so good.
