Do I need to replace my whole opener to make my garage smart?
Reviewer consensus
No. Retrofit controllers like the Meross MSG100, Chamberlain myQ Smart Garage Control, eKyro and SwitchBot wire into the existing wall-button terminals of most openers made after roughly 1993 and add app control, status sensing and alerts. You only need a full replacement (such as the Genie StealthDrive or QuietLift) if your existing motor is failing, too loud, or you want battery backup.
