How to Control LiftMaster & Chamberlain MyQ Garage Door Openers in SmartThings

Updated: Apr 7

Recently I purchased a Chamberlain B1381T Smart Garage Door Opener. This is a belt drive opener that is equipped with battery backup. I am extremely pleased with this purchase. The Chamberlain belt drive is much quieter compared to my former screw drive opener.

When I purchased this opener I was fully aware that the Chamberlain and LiftMaster garage door openers were intended to be controlled via the MyQ app and were therefore not supported by SmartThings. However, I was hopeful that I might be able to get it to work with SmartThings.

you can do this with fewer steps and easier using the meross solution. it does not need wiring and works thru the meross app. it comes with a remote depending on the color of the learn button on the myQ opener. it also comes with a contact switch that you wire to the device. this is one of the solutions that became popular when the brian baird solution failed when chamberlain blocked access to the api. there are lots of videos showing how to install this setup. you should make one too. its available on amazon.
