Does anyone have any experience with these EWeLink Relay WiFi switches?

I plan on using it for a electric driveway gate opener. I just hook it to the “push button” terminals of the control board.

Seems like a no brainer for only $13. It interfaces with Alexa/etc as well.

I used that exact one. It works great. Just connect to the terminals on the back of the opener.

I can use Alexa to open my doors or use my phone. I set a routine with Alexa to automatically open my door when I arrive home. That works pretty well but I think the geolocation sometimes lags.

i don't have that module, but I've got something similar that I put together.

The nice thing about that device is if you ever want to expand into more home automation with local control; you can flash it with custom firmware. Then there's no need for alexa to talk with Chinese servers.
