Remote Operation and Monitoring of Your Garage Door with MyQ System

Installation of MyQ System Permits Smartphone Control of Garage Door Opener

Many homeowners have undoubtedly experienced that pit-of-the-stomach sense of fear or nervousness when, several minutes after leaving home, they suddenly cannot recall if they turned off the stove or locked the front door. This is often a temporary or fleeting feeling, as their thoughts and heart rate quickly settle down when they do remember that yes, they did, in fact, ensure that all was off, unplugged, locked, etc. before driving away.

Although people will subconsciously perform hundreds of routine tasks every day, it can still be a gut-wrenching and worrisome feeling when they momentarily cannot picture in their mind that a certain action was actually completed. This frantic or panicky state can often be associated with the garage door (did I close it or not?) to the point where some homeowners may have to turn around and drive back for visual proof that all is secure.

Fortunately for homeowners, and especially those implicated in the garage door scenario above, developments in wireless technology have led to the introduction of garage door openers that can be controlled and monitored via a smartphone or tablet, which means that these homeowners will not have to worry about the status of their garage door – no matter where they are virtually anywhere around the world.

The technology is known as the MyQ Garage system, introduced by Chamberlain garage door openers, and it is compatible with over 90% of garage door openers manufactured over the last 20 years. For a reasonable purchase price and a straightforward two-step installation process, homeowners can now enjoy the following benefits of a MyQ wireless operating system without the additional expense of upgrading their current door opener:

In the case of an existing garage door opener, homeowners can install their MyQ Garage system quickly and with relative ease; perhaps the most fundamental aspect of installing such a system is to ensure that their home’s wireless internet signal reaches the garage with sufficient strength.

Homeowners currently without an automatic garage door opener, but who are intrigued by the possibilities and conveniences afforded by a MyQ system, may want to have the ‘full package’ installed simultaneously. In this instance, homeowners are encouraged to consult with a technician from Markham Garage Doors, to assess which type of garage door opener is most compatible with their current door and to arrange for its installation along with their new MyQ system. Once again, basic requirements would be a wireless internet signal that reaches the garage and connectivity to a smartphone or tablet.
