      This issue is relating to the MyQ Garage system.On Tue May 28th at *****am my garage was robbed, and I lost $1680 in *********** tools.The garage system was set to close at 10pm every night, and failed. I've confirmed there was no power or internet outage, and nothing blocking sensors. I also have video and photographic evidence of everything.I have multiple cameras setup around my property, as well as ample lighting to deter people from stealing. I also had a garage system I believed I could trust to close at the scheduled time. But the MyQ system let my family and I down when we needed it the most. The MyQ was supposed to step in as a failsafe when a garage door was not shut by a certain time. The schedule system was designed by Chamberlain to ensure this didnt happen.I contacted Chamberlain on June 8th, sending all evidence I had of the system failure, as well as a minute-to-minute documentation of exactly what happened before, during, and after. I also asked for a small amount of compensation to replace what was taken because of this issue. They responded back this morning claiming to have, "researched with your myQ serial #, and we concluded that the timer to close was not set up in May when you first initiated the call to Chamberlain". This "research" however is unequivocally false, either by intent or not. The timer was set up on day one of installation, which leads me to believe Chamberlain is not taking responsibility and shoving this issue off to the side.

      Phone call made to Liftmaster customer support: ************. ******************** has outsourced their door openers so much that no one... not the dealers nor anyone at these telephone numbers knows anything about the products any more. I need to know the *** and the torque rating of a ***** wall mounted Liftmaster garage door opener. Liftmaster has outsourced both production and customer service to ************* or ****** somewhere and have provided no management to control the operators that are used on these telephone numbers. I asked for, "the torque rating and rpm rating for the Liftmaster model *****". The Mexican/South American operator replied, "you want to know the price for a *** sensor and a new motor riiiiiight?". Outsourcing has killed this company. They don't care about ANYTHING any more.

      We have a Lift Master 87504-267 in our new home and one of the options is to subscribe to a service that records actions in the garage location and store them in the cloud

      I noticed that the time stamp on the recordings were off by 3 hours, i.e. if I opened the garage door as 11am that information is properly stamped as 11AM in the ACCESS History, however, when you click on the MOTION History it shows the action as taking place at 8AM

      I've been chasing this issue for a year and probably put 15+ hours into it with their support group. Each time I talk to a new agent, and I get them up to speed they say the previous steps I took were in correct and they know the fix. I jump through all the hoops they want me to take, nothing works, they escalate the case and then I never hear from anyone. I read online that this has been an ongoing issue for some time and if true that means they are knowingly selling a flawed product and service.

      My accounts up for renewal on 7/25 and they have assured me each time they will make it right, but nope, I just get ignored.... It's really a shame as the LiftMaster product is sold at a premium and on top of that they charge you a service fee just to use the camera you already paid an upcharge for and somehow, they think its ok to have it not work properly

      I bought a Chamberlain Garage door opener. First one didnt work, took it down, and second one has the wrong control panel. No manual was included. Number on box and number on the machine do not match. Unit was supposed to have motion sensor, but it does not! You cant get through to support without waiting hours. They promise to call back and dont.. With conflicting model numbers, getting online to read manual doesnt work. On our last call was told we had to purchase a control panel that had motion sensor when in fact it was suppose to come with it! No mention of us receiving a user manual at all!!!!!

      Purchased under warranty: My Chamberlain Lift Master garage door unit powered by MyQ was purchased less than 12 months ago. Defective: The garage door unit has issues with connecting to the MyQ / Chamberlain lift master app. As a result, I am unable to 1) use the camera 2) remotely control opening / closing the garage door via the app. In another words, the camera and app does not work. Poor Support: I have had multiple phone conversations with support starting on May 8th. I spent hours going through all the trouble shooting steps with a live phone agent multiple times. None of the steps worked. I still do not have a resolution. I was provided a direct technical support email with a case number with a commitment that I would receive a follow up. No follow up has been provided. I attempted 3x over email, and have not received a response.Ask for Help: I feel Chamberlain Group is ignoring my issue while under warranty and providing poor customer follow up and resolution attempts. More so, I believe Chamberlain Group sold me a defective product. Please help.

      MyQ, a Chamberlain Group brand, tricked me into linking my Amazon account when I was just trying to dismiss a pop up modal in my way, and then gave me no way to disconnect. They claim they dont have to have that capability, even though its a safety issue allowing strangers to have access to ones property.

      I just bought a new house with a Chamberlain garage door opener and a Liftmaster internet gateway. I downloaded the app and inputted the serial number, but the app says "An error occurred while processing the request. (000). I interacted with the company via the online chat app. The representative advised that company updated its server and that its product is now obsolete. Company refused to provide a replacement to the otherwise operable gateway and instead provided a link to purchase a conforming gateway for $75. When I advised that was not acceptable, the representative provided me with a telephone number where I could call and get a 20% discount. There was a place on the link for a discount code, but representative refused to provide a code.

      This company is a joke my kit is only 3 weeks old and I have had nothing but problems now it won't open or close so their answer after spending hundreds on their garbage and getting it installed is to spend more money for another technician when the obvious problem is the junk they are selling are u kidding me
