If you're an Apple Home household and you want Siri control, you need a HomeKit-compatible device instead, Meross MSG100HK, Tailwind iQ3 with the HomeKit Hub, or an Aqara hub. Tell the pro which platform you use before they pick the hardware.
Is my opener new enough to go smart?
Any opener with safety sensors (so post-1993) can be retrofit with a Tailwind or Meross. LiftMaster and Chamberlain openers from 2011+ work directly with a myQ hub. Genie openers pair with Aladdin Connect.
