Garage door opener
Does the car really have to be on to use the garage door opener via a button on the mirror? Or is there a setting to change it? Thank you!

Uhhhhh security reasons? I would not want my garage door to be opened at will with no power to the car. If it was that easy, whats to stop someone from breaking your car window in front of your house and just opening the garage door?

In addition, if you have Amazon Prime, this device will allow you to use the Amazon Key for Garage service, where Amazon will deliver your packages inside your garage safe and secure from thieves and bad weather. Amazon currently has the MyQ Smart Garage Hub as a limited time deal for only $30, 40% off their regular price: Amazon link If you already have a Chamberlain or LiftMaster GDO you may be able to add this functionality by replacing your existing wall control panel with the LiftMaster MyQ Retrofit Package that contains the 888LM Control Panel and the Internet Gateway: Amazon link I don't have either of these devices, but last year I replaced both my GDOs with the LiftMaster wall mount GDO, which includes the 888LM Control Panel, and offers the same functionality. Highly recommended!

The Chinese eBay switch solution is for someone who is technically inclined and is able to solder two wires onto a PCB. The LiftMaster solution, while more expensive but still relatively inexpensive, is a simple, integrated plug-and-play solution.

Again, I'm able to use Google voice control as this is already integrated with LiftMaster. LiftMaster has since added the Amazon Key for Garage function because Amazon Alexa has added another level of security for products that open/unlock doors, etc., requiring a PIN to be used when unlocking doors, like my Schlage locks. I've spoken with LiftMaster and I expect that they will offer Alexa voice control soon. So not worth my trouble at this point. The Chinese eBay switch will work for some people, but not all people, depending on which GDO they have. It also has no security layer when used with a voice control device because it doesn't require a PIN. It also won't work with Amazon Key for Garage for anyone that wants to use that to make sure their Amazon Prime deliveries are safe and secure.

I bought the MyQ GDO kit off of Amazon. It's kinda stupid you have to get Google Home to toggle to MyQ phase and then command it to open a door.
Would think with Google integration, it should be as simple as "hey Google, open left garage door", but eh. I mainly got the kit because my dumbass can't for the damn life of me remember if I closed the garage door not even 15 seconds out the driveway.

Based on conversations with LiftMaster technical support, I expect that they will again offer integration with Amazon Alexa sometime next year. They already partner with Amazon for Key for Garage, letting Amazon delivery personnel open your GDO to deliver packages safely and security inside your garage.
