User questions & answers

Question: Is there an over ride to allow the door to remain open
Answer: I’m sure in China..
Question: Is there a risk that this device will open my garage door (after 5, 10, 20 minutes) if I close the door using the conventional remote
Answer: Not sure
Question: Will this one work with the brand called "Overhead" garage door opener
Answer: Yes, it good! Thanks for your question.
Question: It worked for one year. Now it stopped. Any ideas? I put in new battery, still no response when the garage door is open
Answer: the auger will dig at least a foot down into medium or softer soils. Since it is driven by a drill motor, the user will have the drill motor harm them if it hits something solid. The auger is not the problem. can you wrestle the driver to keep the auger digging? You could use a large drill motor with a stabilizer handle. Also the digging tip is just a pointed piece of metal. it doesn't have a sharp tooth like a post hole digger. Also the diameter is probably not good to fit a 4x4 into the hole. You could use a manual post hole digger to be effective.

User questions & answers

Question: Will my existing door openers (car, wall, and outside keypad) still work
Answer: Yes, all of your existing openers will still work. What this does is allows you to see if your garage door is open or closed no matter where you are (at work, on vacation, anywhere where your phone can connect to the internet), and it allows you to open or close it from anywhere from the app. You can also set alerts so that you get notified when somebody leaves it open and you can schedule it to close at specific times. So it is MUCH more than just a remote control in your car or on your sun visor.
Question: Is it compatible with amazon alexa/echo, apple homekit
Answer: Follow below links to enable Alexa with MyQ. Works well for me. Note : you will have to download simple commands app from app store. Setup : https://simplecommands.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005574293-Getting-Started-with-the-kloee-for-SC-Smart-Home-Skill https://simplecommands.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020793153-How-to-control-your-garage-doors-through-Alexa-with-SimpleCommands Customize command : https://simplecommands.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021126733
Question: Will this integrate with a Samsung Smart Things hub
Answer: It is really shame that Chamberlain myQ decided to NOT support SmartThings. After their announcement to support it (which was if I remember 2015 or 2016), I actually switched all of the garage openers to be myQ compatible... which ended in major disappointment because they never got out the integration. There was a manual integration that a SmartThings user did, but even this one is now defunct.
Question: Why does chamberlain charge a fee when the other devices are free
Answer: This is a shame and Chamberlain should be embarrassed. It's pathetic. I would rather pay $10-20 more to never pay a subscription fee as long as I own the device. Aonthly or annual fee is just sickening and it's the singular reason why I have not purchased this product. Everything I own is Chamberlain. By including a fee, they have completely ALIENATED A LOYAL CUSTOMER. Am I also understanding this correctly that Alexa does not have a subscription fee for integration?

User questions & answers

Question: Does it work with the chamberlain whisper drive garage door model wd850kevg
Answer: they have to be the same connectors
Question: Can I use two of these on one garage door opener
Answer: I have not tried it on ice. I would be extremely careful trying this for the first time. When the machine binds, it will put all that torque on your upper body. Or worse yet, if it jumps out of the hole which the 12" bit has done for me, it is dangerous. My advice would be go slow and don't put too much downward pressure on it.
Question: Is this compatible with liftmaster my q model
Answer: No, there is no hammer function.
Question: How is this control different from 888LM? The 888LM is advertised to work as upgrade to previous Models
Answer: The female end is a tad smaller than 3/4 inch...i had mine drilled out to 3/4. And it fits my earthquake and preditor augers.

Question: Why does chamberlain charge a fee when the other devices are free
Answer: Depends on what is wrong. Check the wiring connections first. When I had difficulty getting it to work it was because the old wire ends had corroded so I just needed to cut the old wires shorter so get rid of the corroded ends.

User questions & answers

Question: Is the manual available online
Answer: I have the Chamberlain WD962KEV Whisper Drive and this control panel works with my door. The Liftmaster products are supposed to be compatible across MyQ devices but according to reviews it seems they don't always work as advertised.
Question: Can this opener be installed on the inside of a door that opens outward
Answer: I have three entryways into my garage, so I'd like three wall panels to control one garage door opener. Although Chamberlain tech support said it would work, upon wiring the second wall panel control they both went blank. So at this time I don't know of a hard-wired way to control via multiple entryways. I think the other two will have to be wireless, like strapping RF remotes to the walls. If anyone knows of a more elegant solution, please respond.
Question: Does it help the door close slower as well? We have a heavy door and it slams. We are looking for something that helps close without slamming
Answer: Compatible ONLY with Security+2.0™ MyQ™ LiftMaster garage door openers or gate operators.Compatible with Craftsman AssureLink™ garage door openers by Sears.All Security+2.0 garage door openers have a round yellow Learn button and two yellow antennas.Equipped with Maintenance Alert System.Push button for garage door operation and a lock out switch for extra security.Displays temperature (Fahrenheit or Celsius), time and system diagnostics in English, Spanish or French.Motion detector automatically turns on garage door open lights when movement is sensed.Timer-To-Close allows you to automatically close your garage door in 1, 5 or 10 minutes or custom setting from 1-99 minutes.Includes mounting screws and instructions.
Question: The description says residential or light commercial but under that it says not for light weight doors. Which is it
Answer: Recommend calling liftmaster direct for best answer. Basically the older models worked off analog and the new models are purely digital. The 880LM is a digital upgrade and I use it as a second controller in my garage that has two entry doors. The 888LM upgrades older liftmasters to the increased features on the new models...I.e. adds a motion sensor for turning on lights and adds capability to auto close the door if you don't hit the hold button. The Amazon descriptions got me confused, but the liftmaster service desk got me right on track. I have 3 openers...two are the old technology and the newest is the digital opener that i used the 880LM on. I upgraded one of my older openers with the 888LM.

User questions & answers

Question: What is the warranty
Answer: Hello Valued Customer, we would not recommend using this product for this installation.
Question: Is this just a momentary switch? Can I theoretically connect this to a access control as a "remote push to exit button" trigger
Answer: This product has a maximum of 125VAC and 660W. Any devices plugged into this outlet should not exceed those specifications.
Question: Is this works with a Guardian
Answer: Only if the bulbs used in the light are dimmable, not all LED and CFL bulbs are designed to dim. Otherwise, yes, it should work that way. As John Ski Sr. says, "why not?"
Question: How does the eKyro work with multiple garage doors
Answer: In the US we have 120 VAC electricity. Each receptacle has two wires: a "hot" and a "neutral". Some appliances care which is which is which and they have a plug with one prong taller (not longer, though) than the other. This is a "polarized plug". Other appliances don't care: their prongs are the same (shorter) height. They are "non-polarized" and you can plug them in either way. The outlet (this product in this case) is "polarized" if it has one slot that is taller than the other. A "polarized" outlet can be used for either polarized or non-polarized appliances, so you will be OK. HOWEVER: if your appliance has a 3-prong plug, you are NOT OK, because the 3-prong plug needs a safety ground in addition to "hot" and "neutral", and there is no way a screw-in adaptor can provide a safety ground.

User questions & answers

Question: Do you have to use the auto-close feature
Answer: Yes, this wall control unit should work on the 8200 belt drive machine
Question: Will this work with a Chamberlain
Answer: If you have a Learn Purple Button or Reddish/orange it will work. On a Yellow button use a 881LM
Question: does this opener work with liftmaster model 3800pld
Answer: It should - can't guarantee it since I don't have that model. The wall control panel was super easy to replace (I moved into a new home and the wall control panel in the garage was broken) - the open, light, and lock buttons work as they should. These are fairly simple controls.
Question: what is the difference between the 888LM and the 881 LM
Answer: Hi Eric, I would agree with Dolphin Fan for the most part. For martial arts you will need some mobility and movement so the less stiff will likely work best. My only disclaimer is if you are needing extra support for protecting or healing of an injury in which case you may need to consider sacrificing on the mobility to further protect your wrists in which case I'd suggest the stiff ones. I hope that helps.Thanks so much,Mark
