Q: Could you explain the function and advantages of LiftMaster’s free MyQ app?
A: LiftMaster’s free MyQ® app, available on the Google Play and Apple iTunes app stores, offers a simple way to turn any home into a smart home, providing control of the garage and multiple home devices all through one application. Designed to integrate with most garage door brands, MyQ provides smart home connectivity with garage door control as well as home lighting and video.
To provide insight into what is happening at home, MyQ sends notifications if the garage door is left open and allows homeowners to close it from anywhere with their smartphone, tablet or computer. The MyQ app also offers a scheduling function that allows homeowners to program what time the lights turn on and off, or turn them on and off manually. Homeowners can also customize timing, allowing one setting for weekdays, one setting for weekends and another if users are traveling. This also allows homeowners to improve energy efficiency and save on their electric bill.
Additionally, through LiftMaster’s Works with Nest integration with Nest Cam Indoor and Outdoor security cameras, homeowners can view what is going on at home. Nest Cam Indoor and Nest Cam Outdoor cameras allow users access to a live feed of what is happening in the garage the moment the garage door is activated.
Q: What kinds of feedback are you getting from users?
A: We are thrilled with the response we have received from our customers. MyQ allows our customers to tap into the latest home control systems, providing greater peace-of-mind, security and access, whether they’re on vacation, at work or running errands. The LiftMaster MyQ app has a 4-1/2 star rating on the Apple app store. One user writes, “I like the feature that displays a notification when the door remains open too long. This has saved me from coming home and finding the garage door open. Having the ability to close it remotely allows me to avoid a return trip home when I’ve left in the morning but forgot to close the garage door.“

A: We’re excited for the future of the connected home. We plan to continue developing strategic, multi-channel partnerships to further expand MyQ’s integration capabilities and are looking for opportunities to give consumers the convenience and peace of mind they desire.
Q: What’s the achievement LiftMaster is most proud of?
A: LiftMaster’s proudest achievement lies in our continual innovation, most recently demonstrated through our entrance into the connected home space. Every day, we’re changing consumers’ minds and helping them realize that the garage door opener is a vital part of the connected home. As the number one manufacturer of professionally installed garage door openers, and a major manufacturer of gate and commercial door operators, we take pride in leading the charge as technologies and industries evolve.
