AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the ease of installation of the remote control. They say that it plugs into switches, cameras, and is very simple to install. The app is also very easy to use and includes a log of all door openings. It is also simple to connect with Alexa and convenient for those without a garage. Customers also like that it directly wires into the garage door opener, so they don't have to sync it up like a traditional remote control or keypad.

Overall, the opinions are mixed, and depend on individual experiences.

This Nexx version works with Alexa and Siri but at this time not with Apple's Home Kit. Maybe a future update will include it as well. One nice trick I use with Siri is the Shortcuts feature in iOS 13.1. If you have an iPhone 10 or higher, your phone can utilize the NFC app built into the phone for other purposes other than just Apple Pay. I programmed my phone to use the Siri-Shortcut to close my G-door when tapping a NFC tag I have mounted outside the garage. This allows me to close the G-door without having to open the Nexx app or use another opener in my car or house. It's practical and convenient for me because my garage is not attached to my house and sometimes I want to close the door without having to turn off my house alarm system and I'm on foot.
As for security, I haven't seen anything unusual so far. But IoT devices have a bad reputation for not being secure. If your Wi-Fi network is secure, then this should be as well. One feature which could be weak spot is the BT connection that the app can use if your Wi-Fi is down. It allows a direct Bluetooth connection to the Nexx unit but this feature is only as secure as your phone. BT has limited range so remote access is unlikely. You can disable this feature in the app.
Having read previous reviews, I knew to set up the Wi-Fi connection and pair the door sensor before attempting the install in my garage. While sitting next to my router it took a couple of tries to get the Wi-Fi connection to stay and the pairing of the bluetooth door sensor took a couple as well while also noting its intermittent responsiveness to motion (i.e. open/close signal to base). Eventually all connections were made and I set it aside until the next day.
Took the unit to the garage and mounted the door sensor as instructed and wired the NXG200 to my Genie/Overhead Door compatible opener. Upon powering up I immediately noticed that the base had no Wi-Fi signal even though my phone shows full signal at the base location. So, went through the Wi-Fi setup once again and then it took 5 attempts to get the door sensor to pair back to the base unit. Everything eventually connected and using the Nexx Home app the unit responded to open/close requests. However, the app would show the door in the position opposite of its actual state (i.e. open when closed, etc.). I then thought I would call Nexx support only to learn that there is NO DIRECT PHONE SUPPORT. You must instead send an email and await a response. If you do provide a phone number you have to provide a time (during 9 to 9 support hours) and they are to call within a 2 hour window.
I have read other reviews where the wireless sensor did not function properly and they were provided a wired sensor. I expected a similar response but was instead provided another copy of the installation instructions and requested photo of installation. This was of no use but while reading support Q&A I noticed that the two different drivers should set up their own Nexx Home account. Thinking that may have been an issue as well I had my wife set up her own account for the same device and it promptly removed it from my account and phone. During all of this the base unit also lost its Wi-Fi connection with no interruption of signal.
I now have three issues (door sensor not responsive, base won't hold a Wi-Fi signal, and Nexx Home app isn't responsive to multiple users) and will be returning the unit for a refund. Also note that while my application involved only one door, if you have multiple doors you must have a separate unit for each door. If it ever works as advertised this would be a great product but not at present.

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 -
