The myQ Garage & Access Control app provides a comprehensive solution for managing access to your home or business. It enables users to remotely open, close, and monitor their garage doors, commercial doors, or gates from anywhere. Beyond basic control, the app integrates with myQ Smart Garage Camera and Video Keypad accessories to offer real-time monitoring of activity, motion detection alerts, and the ability to capture and store video clips of important events.
Remote Access and Monitoring
The app allows users to open, close, and monitor their myQ-enabled garage doors, commercial doors, or gates from any location. This capability extends to receiving smart access alerts, which notify users when activity is detected at their access points. For instance, you can be alerted when your garage door opens or closes.
Enhanced Monitoring with myQ Accessories
To provide a clearer view of activity, myQ integrates with the myQ Smart Garage Camera. This accessory allows users to keep an eye on their garage, providing alerts when someone is detected. With an optional video storage plan, the app captures and stores these motion events, enabling users to filter, download, and share video clips. Additionally, the myQ Smart Garage Video Keypad informs users who is entering their garage, offering peace of mind regarding loved ones’ arrival.
Automated Control and Access Sharing
Users can establish schedules to automatically close their garage doors or gates at specific times, enhancing security and convenience. The app also supports sharing access with family members, friends, or service providers, allowing them to operate designated doors or gates without needing physical remotes.
Vehicle and In-Home Delivery Integration
For added convenience, myQ Connected Garage allows certain vehicle infotainment systems to act as a remote for opening, closing, and monitoring garage doors. This feature is currently available in select Tesla, Honda, Acura, Volkswagen, Mercedes, and Mitsubishi vehicles. Furthermore, the myQ ecosystem supports in-garage delivery services such as Amazon Key In-Garage Delivery and Walmart+ InHome Delivery, providing a secure method for package delivery directly into your garage.
Compatibility Requirements
To utilize myQ smartphone control, users need either a compatible Wi-Fi garage door opener or the myQ Smart Garage Control device, which can retrofit older, non-Wi-Fi garage door openers. Users are encouraged to download the app to check their specific compatibility.
