      Actually, he kind of dramatized it. Chamberlain uses MyQ and the MyQ app for Smartphone control, which is completely free. If you want it to work with a few apps such as Xfinity Home (which is free) you would have to pay a subscription. Chamberlain doesn’t even advertise that it works with these apps. Most apps that it works with are free.

      I think it meant the company pays a subscription for ifttt which is an easier way to link devices over the Internet" but its not charged to the customer. I think it might be because anything used by a company has to be licensed. Like notice media software has business and personal licenses. And some have said this license is for home use only. I've also heard of a broadcasting license. So it could just be some kind of legal reason.

      I agree with mastavagasa even though these parts cost like $90 the single chamberlain garage door opener will be over $100 plus monthly fee. Also adding in a relay is so much better aside then replacing the whole drive motor and possibly the chain. Unless those units were on their way out, I would keep them, new openers have way too many plastic gears (probably for safety) I had one that stripped itself because it kept going after it was fully open for no reason, I had to pull the plug. The main gear was stripped (it was only plastic gear in there) and even though I could pull it out, I contacted the company and was quoted “no serviceable parts inside drive unit” and couldn’t find the gear anywhere online. So it was junked 🙁

      Yes no is normally open (circuit not connected at rest *no power*), and nc is normally closed (circuit connected at rest *no power*) c is common, think pc power switch it's a no circuit when you press the button it closes the contacts and turns on the pc. In this case you connect 2 wires between c and no, the relays then switch it to closed to close/open the garage door.
      I did this a while ago by modding a remote to connect to the board. It's now sitting in a static bag on the outlet box with an ac adapter coming out to plug in the wall outlet. No connection to the door opener itself. FYI, if you have a opener that uses rolling codes and not a wall switch like the ones he has it won't work, you have to do it like the way I did because the pcb units only connect wires together not broadcast rolling codes to open/close the door. There's another video where a guy did this exact thing with his front gate to his house, that's how I did mine.

      Martin Schou Just so you know, this works just fine without IFTTT.. sure you can tell Alexa to open/close your garage or use location based. However, there is an app and it’s 100% FREE and works over the internet.. So you can open and close the Chamberlain garage door anywhere in the world.
      Tho IFTTT would be nice if it wasn’t behind a paywall, it isn’t a huge deal breaker. Plus, I think some people have found ways around it.

      IFTTT is a phone app that lets you cause things to happen by other things happening. that probably sounds confusing but for example he would be able to do something like make it so that his garage door opens once his phone connects to his home wifi. Or perhaps make it so that the garage door opens when a certain light is turned on.
      As mentioned in the video, normally this ability is included, because the company pays those fees behind the scenes, but in this case they wanted to make their customers pay for it

      Also with the force setting set to max and no eyes, you run the risk of a cable coming off one of the drums and having a door hanging side ways basically, because if an obstruction occurred, the opener would continue to close/open.

    I like these "ancient" garage openers because they are SO much quieter than newer cheaper ones. The only trouble is if they aren't setup right the gearbox tends to get broke since they are rather cheap plastic. I made a replacement for both if mine on the CNC out of aluminum, but so far only needed one. Definitely worth all my upgrading and work given how nice and quiet they are, and stronger that new ones with twice the rating.

    There are two videos that consist of linus buying a smart product on amazon, realizing there's a subscription, and creating his own solution.

    Amazon also sells Tailwind. I use this with my 2 garage doors, it's app, and 3 sensors so doors open as I approach the garage door and close as I leave.
