Anyone using Meross Garage door opener?

I got 2 of these Sonoff ones on 2 garage doors. Works a treat.

i want to get one but not sure of the reviews. I actually want it for my main gate AND garage door. Interestingly it says its for garage doors but lists the Centurion D5 as a compatible device...

Thanks.

What is its method of opening the door is it just a relay trigger? It can’t replicate a remote of anything right?
 
I used the Eachen garade Door opener (which uses Ewelink). Works the same, but the annoying part is that it looks just like a switch - the status doesn't say "open" or "closed". It says "on" or o"ff". So it is not as user friendly.

The Meross garage opener connects to your motor's terminal and allows you to control your garage door from anywhere via WiFi internet connection. Additionally, it comes equipped with a wired sensor that detects whether the door is open or closed. An exciting feature of homekit enabled smart garage door opener is that it is HomeKit enabled, and when combined with CarPlay, your garage door will display on your car's radio. With just a touch of the screen, you can easily open your garage.

Another brand that is compatible with HomeKit is iSmartGate, which comes with a wireless sensor.

Nice.

What I was looking or hoping for was one that would have a wireless sensor because I’m lazy to mount wires all over the place :)

But alas seems I will have to. I want to use one on the Centurion D5 on the gate and another on the Digidoor garage door.

you might want to check out ismartgate - they offer a version for both gates and doors. You can verify compatibility on their website, and their customer support is good. Keep in mind that a reliable Wi-Fi signal in your garage is essential.
 
I have the HomeKit version. Set it up, hooked it up. Not a days issue. Convenient opening the garage from your car via CarPlay.

How do you see the the device on CarPlay. Does the home app show up or is there a specific setting ?

The button to control the garage automatically appears on my CarPlay dashboard when I am near it. Although I don't know the technical details, it functions similarly to how calendar notifications pop up on CarPlay. However, to see the garage control button, the CarPlay screen must display the carplay dashboard. I've included an image of the screen I found on the internet for reference.
The only setting you may have to enable is to turn on Suggestions in CarPlay.

They’re also a Connex Gate controller at Builders for a good price but I can’t seem to find whether it’s got HomeKit or shorted by HomeBridge.
