Ratings & Reviews for Universal Garage Door Opener Internet Gateway

Incompatible with Chamberlain opener

Doesn't work at all. Packaging on the box says, "Works with virtually all popular garage door openers." After hours on the phone with two levels of Iris tech support, and eventually the manufacturer's tech support, I was told that this device is incompatible with my Chamberlain opener. Iris website lists a few garage door openers that are incompatible, but mine is not on that list. Apparently, openers that include a powered wall switch (with motion sensor, light switch, etc.), are not compat...

Easy to Install & Works with SmartThings

This product mounts to existing garbage door opener hardware or you can attach it directly to the ceiling. It intigrates nicely with SmartThings.

Never works

Do not buy this product! It is extremely intermittent. Only works half the time. Save your money and get something more reliable. Cheap is cheap quality. I’d suggest spending more on something that works all the time. What use is it if it doesn’t work when you need it to? They don’t seem to care to work out the bugs in their system or they stop supporting older models to the extent that you have to keep upgrading therefore making them more and more money. Get something that’ll last. Don’t waste...

Iris garage door opener

So far so good. It works as it should. They only issue I had was with the tilt switch mechinism after removing the battery tab. The cover was on perfectly but underneath the cover is a little post that is press able and it was not lined up properly which caused the system think there was an obstruction. After figuring that out, it has been perfect.

Works as the scribed.

I installed the GDC to work with my SmartThings devices. It’s nice to control the garage door from anywhere.

Works to some degree

Does what it is supposed to do but the quality of the item and unstable performance does not warrant the price tag. You can not stop the opener half way or reverse as with standard garage door controls, only all the way open or all the way closed and the delay in operation is rather annoying.

Good product for a reasonable price.

Good product for a reasonable price. Nothing special, but a good product that does its job. Instructions are really lacking. You do not need the IRIS Hub. It works with Samsung SmartThings for example without Iris.

Should have listened to the other reviews

I bought this controller 6 months ago. Read the reviews that said that it worked fine for a year or so. Fortunately mine either fine for 6 months but now doesn't do anything but chirp. Won't connect to my SmartThings hub anymore. Will send it back under the one year warranty, but not optimistic that the next one will last any longer. I have many other smart home devices that have worked fine for over 2 years.

Lasts 10 months to 2 years - don't waste your $$$$

I used my with an Abode alarm system. It is a re-badge'd Linear garage door opener (a z-wave compatible device). It worked well for almost 2 years before it decided to stop working. I paired it with the system again but it appears the Z-wave radio is burned out because it states that it has a weak signal just a foot away from my hub. Searching Amazon reviews and the Internet, it would seem that the expected lifespan is anywhere between 10 months to 2 years. Don't waste your money.

Great Garage Door Option

Installed this on my garage door and connect to my Google Home. Works great from my phone.

Awful Product....what you need to know.

I had issues with the functioning of this device, and had to call the manufacturer's tech support department. I had set everything up correctly, and knew that. Well as it turns out, this gateway can only work with a system that has a simple, doorbell type garage door button inside your garage, and is not compatible with any opener with say a motion sensor or light control switch on the button. That should be made clear in the description! Absolutely pointless device, when you are sacrificing oth...

Works but be patient! instructions poor, finicky s

correct that this must be paired sitting next to hub for best pairing results... Now - after a year of use - it is disconnected from hub - i am attempting to repair... no luck after 45 mins... PITA ! and when i push the link button, i get one beep - then on the controller a red led flashes and another two beeps. Try and find what that means in the instructions? I hope someone can point out that i just didn't read closely enough

Dead after one month... bad quality

it worked fine at the beginning . when the time we really need remote control, it is no longer working

Works Well

Everything I expected. Easy to install and works well with Iris and Alexa.

Works like a charm with Samsung Smart things

Very easy installation and working without any issues .

These work but the most annoying part is...

I have had 2 of these and when they are working they are good. The problem is when the open/close sensor needs a new battery you have to remove it from Iris replace the battery and re-add which is a GIANT pain. That is this products greatest weakness to me. So otherwise during that 3 or so months they work great. I really cannot recommend them for this reason.

Numerous False Alarms & Difficult Installation

I installed this in July 2016. After getting it physically installed on the high ceiling of my garage I had to pair it to my SmartThings hub. It took a lot of trial and error but ultimately I was able to make it work. Over time it would continue working but on rare occasion I would have to pair the unit again - I think this was connected to power outages and hub software updates. My biggest beef with this device is false activations of the garage door status sensor. At first, it performed relia...

Works with SmartThings

It is clear once you open the manual that this is a certified z-wave plus product. It quickly paired with SmartThings and provided open/close status as well as the ability to open and close the door on command. You can voice control by adding Alexa, google home, etc to SmartThings.

Good controller for garage door

I purchased this last year for my garage to integrate into SmartThings. I was able to set it up with no problems, but shortly after started having connection issues. I moved it approximately four feet closer to my ST hub and it started working perfectly, so this should tell anyone thinking of purchasing, that distance to hub and possible interference by walls or other things will be important. Recently, the sensor that attaches to the garage door fell off and broke. (There are two pieces to ...
