Convert from MyQ to GDOOZ-4?

Support
1

Recently converted from Vivint to ADC / IQ5 - and have been very happy so far.

With Vivint, MyQ was recommended for garage door control.

Since I owned that already I integrated that with ADC / IQ5 and everything went well. I occasionally get an error that the MyQ is offline. If I click troubleshoot and then re-connect it immediately re-connects. I’m betting there’s little I / we can do to fix that - likely just some weirdness with the MyQ cloud.

I own a GD00Z-4 - which I know is an older generation of the GD00Z.

Thoughts to a) whether I should be able to integrate and use the GD00Z-4 with my system, and b) whether I’d likely have better reliability with the GD00Z versus MyQ?

if so - just to confirm it’s still working fine - can I include the GD00Z, and once I confirm it’s working remove / delete the MyQ integration?

Thanks!

There shouldn’t be any issues with reusing the GD00Z-4 with your system. They are compatible with Alarm.com. You can include it on the panel, test, and remove MyQ if it works properly.

As long as it has a good connection to the panel, you will likely have better reliability than using MyQ. I had some issues with MyQ when using the Smart Garage Hub. We replaced it with a Linear controller, and it has been a lot more reliable than the previous MyQ equipment.
