What You Need to Know About myQ Technology
MyQ technology uses smart systems like your Wi-Fi connection, mobile apps and other technologies to work alongside your garage door. When you have a myQ garage door opener, the garage door does more than just open and close, offering innovative technology that gives you more control. If your garage door opener was manufactured in or before 1993, you’ll need to replace it with a modern version.
Some features of a smart garage door include:
- Remote monitoring and management: You can check the status of your garage door, like whether it’s open or closed, from anywhere on a mobile device. Remote management also allows you to close or open the door remotely, and some systems have video camera capabilities.
- Real-time notifications: Get notified when your garage door opens or closes, giving you peace of mind knowing when your loved ones leave or return home.
- Scheduling capabilities: Seamlessly control the operation of your garage door at your fingertips. Set times for when the garage door opens and for the lights to switch on, like when you return home.
Expand Your Smart Garage Door With Must-Have myQ Accessories
Where myQ technology makes it easier to manage your garage door, adding cutting-edge accessories enables the door to do more. With smart integrations like LiftMaster® myQ accessories, controlling your garage door is effortless.
Integrating smart features is one of the best upgrades if you want a garage door opener that provides multiple easy-to-use options for controlling your garage door.
MyQ Smart Garage Hub
You can integrate your existing garage door opener with myQ technology or upgrade to a compatible one. By connecting the opener to myQ Smart Garage Hub, you can control deliveries with Amazon Key. Amazon authorizes the delivery, automatically opens your garage door and closes it again. You get notified when the delivery is complete, knowing your package and home are secure.
With monitoring capabilities, you receive notifications when people enter or leave through your garage door, whether by vehicle or on foot. Remote monitoring lets you know who enters your property for better home safety.
Smart Garage Hub also makes it easy to operate your garage door remotely. If you forgot to close your garage door, simply shut it from your phone. All features offer real-time notifications and video camera capabilities for added security.
MyQ Garage Door Sensor
Whether you already have a second garage or plan to build one, connecting the garage door opener with the same smart technology as the first one is hassle-free. By connecting the opener to myQ Smart Garage Control, you can extend the smart capabilities of your myQ system to the second opener.
MyQ Smart Garage Control enhances the security of your garage door by allowing you to:
- Remotely control your garage door from a mobile device.
- Monitor the status of your garage door, like when it opens or closes.
MyQ Remote LED Light
Whether you use your garage for hobbies or work projects or want more visibility, you can easily add more lights with myQ remote LED lighting. Connection is quick and wireless, and you can add up to 16 lights per garage door opener. You can also set daily schedules for the lights to turn on and off, like in the mornings when getting into your car. MyQ remote LED lights allow you to enjoy brighter lights with less maintenance than conventional non-LED lighting.
Integrating myQ With Your Smart Home Ecosystem
If you’re a busy homeowner, you understand the need for more streamlined integrations to easily control multiple features from your existing devices. Connecting myQ with your other home systems can turn your property into a complete smart hub, allowing you to manage various features however you choose.
You can integrate myQ with:
