MyQ: What it is, and why you should use it

You bought a brand new LiftMaster garage door opener. It’s everything you hoped it would be - quiet, reliable, safe. But your busy life could use a little extra help. That’s where the free MyQ app by LiftMaster comes in. With a little flexibility and peace-of-mind, your garage door will work much better for you. As a customer-focused garage door company in Dayton, we want you to know the best developments for you.

MyQ, Smart Tech for Your Garage Door

In the latest LiftMaster openers, MyQ allows you to connect your smartphone to a compatible garage door opener. Only needing a strong WiFi signal that reaches the garage, the free MyQ app is a great tool to open and close the door. 

What if you left to commute to work, but you can’t remember if your door is up or down? Instead of turning around and driving home, the MyQ app lets you see whether the door is open, and gives the option to close it from anywhere with a WiFi signal. 

How Do I Get It?

All you need to do is download the free MyQ app on the Apple App Store, or Google Play. The set up is straightforward, asking you to connect the app to your WiFi network using your username and password. Next, with the learn button on your wall console, or the yellow learn button on the opener, you pair the phone and opener. 

It is also possible to invite other users to the home, and set up temporary guests. The app gives good options for security and usability. Now, without paying for extra remotes, you are able to use your phone to flexibly control your opener.

So what are you waiting for? If your opener is compatible, give it a shot! If not, we would be happy to come out and replace your opener, or install a smart hub to give your old unit additional functionality. Give us a call and let’s talk about your options!
