What Is LiftMaster MyQ® Technology?
LiftMaster MyQ® technology connects your garage door opener to your smartphone app or computer. With the MyQ® app, you can manage your property’s temperature, security and lighting from anywhere in the world.

You can set up the MyQ® Garage for your garage door opener if you have a sectional garage door. If you have a one-piece door, you can only use it in the “Monitor Only” mode. Before installing the MyQ® Garage, make sure your garage door’s photo eyes are working correctly.
LiftMaster MyQ® for Residential Garage Doors
Having a smartphone garage door opener comes with many benefits for your home. Explore how MyQ® automation makes your life easier.
- Control your garage from anywhere: You can control your garage door from anywhere you have a WiFi connection. The MyQ® app gives you peace of mind if you can’t remember whether you closed the garage door when you left home. It also makes it more convenient to let in your friends, family members or neighbors who may be watching or visiting your house when you’re on vacation.
- Monitor garage safety: The MyQ® app makes supervision and surveillance more convenient whether you’re home or away. You’ll receive a notification every time someone uses your garage door. You can also customize who can operate your garage door at certain times of the day.
- Get real-time alerts and access to live video: The LiftMaster MyQ® app will alert you when the garage door opens. This safety feature is helpful when your kids are coming home from school or the pet sitter is coming to let the dog out. You can also get access to MyQ® live video feed to check on your property from your smartphone or tablet when you’re away.
- Schedule your garage door to close at a particular time: You can set a time for your garage door to close or for the lights to turn off. It automatically closes so your home can be secure if you forget to shut it. MyQ® technology makes it more convenient for you to operate your garage door at night, which means you have peace of mind before going to bed.
- Transform your home into a smart home: MyQ® technology is compatible with the smart devices and accessories in your home. You can use the MyQ® app to change your home’s temperature to help control your energy bills. The MyQ® app also integrates with your home’s lighting system, so you can turn them on when you’re away for security or easily turn them off when you’re in bed.
MyQ® Features for Businesses
Commercial facilities can also benefit from MyQ® technology. As a business owner, you want to ensure your facility is as safe and secure as possible. Explore some of the ways the MyQ® Facility can help make it easier to run your daily tasks and keep your employees and inventory safe.
1. Authorization
With the LiftMaster MyQ® app, you can have complete control over all the entrances at your commercial property. Use the MyQ® app on your phone or WiFi-enabled device to access real-time notifications or operate your garage door from anywhere in the world. This technology allows you to open the door for vendors and keep out unwanted visitors.
You can also assign permission-based access to trustworthy members on your team to delegate responsibility. Maintain control of every entry point by giving your team permission to enter your facility based on the location, person, time or group.
2. Scheduling
You can schedule your garage door to open and close at specific times to reduce energy costs and eliminate liability. By scheduling when your garage door operates, you can prolong its life span by decreasing wear and tear on it.
If you’re expecting a vendor or business to come at a particular time, you can give them access inside by scheduling the door to open when they’re coming. You can also set up your garage door to close at the end of each business day so your employees don’t have to worry about locking up after their shift.
3. Utilization Reports
As a business owner, you can get reports of the activity around your commercial door, gate and dock, with information related to how your facility operates. You can use these reports to find out which entry points are costing you money due to inefficiency. With real-time alerts of what happens at each door, you can make safety a priority at your facility. The MyQ® app is also helpful in keeping track of how often you use your equipment so you can know when to maintain or replace it.
