Smart Garage Door Control

Open it from the beach. Let the courier in from your desk. Get a ping if it opens while you are away. Your garage door, finally as smart as the rest of the house.

Can I operate my garage door from my phone?

Yes. A smart (Wi-Fi) garage door opener connects to your home network and links to an app: we install openers with myQ, which lets you open and close the door from anywhere, check whether it is closed, share access with family or trades, and receive an alert whenever it opens. If your existing opener is reasonably modern, a smart retrofit kit can often add phone control without replacing the motor.

What It Does

Six things a smart opener fixes

"Did I close the garage?"

Check from anywhere. Set auto-close so the door shuts itself after a time you choose.

Courier at the door

Open remotely for deliveries, then watch it close behind them. No more parcels in the rain.

Kids home before you

Share app access with the family: no remotes to lose, and you can see who opened the door and when.

Security alerts

An instant notification the moment the door opens while you are out, not an hour later.

Trades access

Grant one-off or scheduled access to a builder or cleaner without handing over a remote.

Power cuts

Battery-backup openers keep working through an outage: door, lights and app included.

How We Set It Up

Installed and working before we leave

Choose the path

New smart opener (our pick: Merlin Commander Ultimate) or a myQ retrofit kit on a compatible existing motor.

Install & connect

We fit the hardware, connect it to your Wi-Fi and pair the app on your phone, and anyone else's you want.

Walk-through

Alerts, auto-close, guest access and schedules configured with you, so it is genuinely useful from day one.

Pairs Perfectly With

An insulated door

Smart control tells you the door is closed; an insulated door makes what is behind it worth protecting. See why most customers upgrade both at once.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need a new opener to get phone control?
Not always. If your existing opener is a compatible modern unit, a myQ smart retrofit kit adds app control without replacing the motor. Older or worn openers are usually better replaced, we will tell you straight which camp yours is in.
Does myQ have a monthly fee?
Core myQ features (open, close, status and alerts) are free. Some optional integrations carry subscriptions; we will explain what is and is not free during setup.
What happens if my internet goes down?
Your remotes and wall button keep working exactly as normal, Wi-Fi is only needed for the app features. With battery backup, the opener even works through a power cut.
Is a smart garage door opener secure?
Yes, modern openers use rolling-code radio (a new code every press) and encrypted app connections. Alerts actually improve security: you know the moment the door opens.
Can it work with Google Home or Apple HomeKit?
myQ works with a range of smart-home platforms; support varies by platform and may need a bridge accessory. Tell us what you use and we will confirm before you buy.
