![]() ![]() Throughout our testing, Chamberlain’s quick performance and simple app design really impressed us. Simply install the plate close to the nearest power outlet (Chamberlain recommends installing it at least 6 feet above the ground, though we had to install in a less-than-ideal space between shelves roughly 5 feet up the wall and encountered no issues), screw the hub on and you’ll be all set. Fortunately, Chamberlain includes a handy mounting plate (complete with screws and drywall anchors) for the hub to streamline the installation process. ![]() Installing the Chamberlain’s hub takes a little more work, since it needs a clean line of sight to the garage door opener - you can’t tuck the MyQ behind a shelf or inside a cabinet. The Chamberlain was, by far, the easiest and quickest hub to install among the controllers we tested. Thanks to the MyQ app and its in-depth video walk-throughs, it only took a few minutes to pair the hub to our garage door opener (the process is like connecting a standard garage door remote) and set up the controller. The hub and door sensor are both wireless (save for the hub’s power adapter), which makes installation a breeze. Unlike most smart garage controllers, the Chamberlain doesn’t rely on a bird’s nest worth of wires in order to run. ![]() The Chamberlain MyQ-G0401 is our top pick because it strikes the perfect balance between cost, features and simplicity. ![]()
