Meross Smart Garage Door Opener MSG100HK

Quick verdict

The Meross MSG100HK is the budget pick for Apple HomeKit garage control. It includes a door state sensor, works with all major voice assistants, and costs less than most competitors. The trade-off is Meross cloud reliability, which has a spotty track record. If you pair it with Home Assistant via the HomeKit Controller integration, you can sidestep the cloud issues entirely.

Standout: Native HomeKit support at a budget price point makes it one of the cheapest ways to get local Apple Home garage control.
