Control Your Existing Garage Door from Anywhere with the NEXX NXG-200 Smart WiFi Garage Door Opener

Lorenzo N.: For the most part it gives you exactly what you expect, the Siri voice activate option doesn’t always work but not huge priority for me. All in all for the price I am extremely happy with this device, bought second one for my other garage. Set up easier than I thought, just ensure your garage system is comparable with Nexx.

erikm: This was purchased in November 2020 and I was initially very excited about it. The install was a breeze, but that's about all that has gone well. This was supposed to make things easier but had done the complete opposite.

The geo-fence feature rarely works, maybe 2 out of 10 times. The app says it's in beta, but I've seen no improvements or updates since purchasing a year ago. In fact, the consistency has gone down.

I have it paired with both Alexa and Google Assistant, but use Google the most for voice commands since I have a Pixel 4 XL. Again, it rarely works! I tend to get a message back that Nexx home cannot be located or something. Sometimes trying a second time will work, or if I unlock my phone and open the app, then the voice commands work, sometimes. But why have to go through the extra steps?

It also doesn't have a widget for Android devices.
Having that quick access would be great but it's just another area of disappointment. My truck will not fit in my garage, so using this was for an extra layer of security to get the garage remote out of the driveway.

Overall, it is a clunky and inconsistent user experience. ...

Amazon Customer: Received this in Canada very fast but needed the adapter which took twice as long to get and had to pay shipping from the US. Real easy to install, works with my Alexa mini and phone. The auto open is a neat feature which you need the app open on your iPhone to work.

Ryan B: Despite their product description, this does NOT work with Alexa in Canada. Their support is it's possible they may offer it outside of the US, but it'll take time, and they're not sure they're actually going to do it. Still selling it on Amazon.ca saying it will in fact work with Alexa, but it DOESN'T.

ian mckinley: The product did exactly as advertised - works well with my liftmaster door opener and wifi and connects perfectly to my iphone
I never had to contact support so did give them a rating - I used youtube to watch multiple installations.
My one disappointment was that Nexx offered a deal with a Nexx plug that Amazon did not - had I known this I would have ordered direct from Nexx - I did not find out about this until after I had ordered.
One thing to keep in mind is to update the firmware before install -

Russell Thorn: Found out after the fact that in Canada Amazon Alexa is not available yet only in the USA. This was 1 reason I purchased the item. Nexx was very understanding and had referred it their " concerns department ". Nexx's support department was very responsive to any of my inquiries is a very timely fashion.

Maverick: This is a nice device for remotely controlling and monitoring your garage door. I purchased the latest version which has the separate monitoring sensor that attaches direct to the G-door itself. It has an accelerometer like the ones in smart phones and video game controllers which determines if the G-door is moving. Once the door is in motion, a message can appear on your smart phone if you set up that way. The main unit is mounted close to the G-door opener/motor. Set up is easy and here are a few tips: test it by using the supplied piece of insulated wiring to jump the two electrical contacts (screws) that close the circuit on the G-door opener. If it will open/close the door, you're in business. Be sure to do any/all firmware updates AFTER you establish a Wi-Fi connection between the Nexx unit and your home network. SPECIAL NOTE to iPhone users: iOS 13-and-up will not allow firmware updates direct through the phone (for security reasons) so you have to use the Nexx unit as your Wi-Fi internet connection. It seems strange but you just use your phone and connect to the Nexx that shows up in your iPhone's available Wi-Fi networks instead of your home Wi-Fi...

Airship-DriverAirship-Driver: This is my second Nexx product. I have two separate garage doors. About a year ago I installed the earlier version of this device (100 series) and just today I installed the latest version. (200 series).

Installation: The 200 series was much easier to install. From start to finish it took me about 30 minutes. That includes getting a ladder and completing the job. The instructions are simple to follow and very clear. Keep in mind I already had the app installed on my phone and one device already working. What I especially like about this latest version is the door sensor. Since it is wireless it took less than a minute to Velcro it to the door. The earlier version of this device and other devices like it has a hardwired connection. Although it’s not hard to install it just takes an extra 15 minutes or so to install the sensor onto the door and wall. You also have to tidy up the wire run along the door rail. The 100 version use that method. It works but it just took longer to install.

Ease-of-use: I like the Nexx app. It is very user-friendly and easy to set up. You can set up the door to open based off location, date and time, etc. Very simple...
