If your household is like most others, you probably have a problem with the garage door – it doesn’t like to be kept closed! With kids trailing in and out, it tends to be left open frequently.
Well, now there’s a solution from Chamberlain in the form of MyQ Garage – a smartphone controller for garage door openers. And the bonus is, you don’t have to have a Chamberlain door for it to work with garage door openers. You can see at any time if your garage door is open, and if it is, you can close it with your smartphone. How neat is that?

Note: The Wi-Fi range depends on the thickness and number of doors, walls and other barriers between your garage and the router. However, the average range is 50 to 100 ft. from the router. To test it, take your phone into the garage and switch Wi-Fi on to ensure you get a signal. If there’s not enough range, add an extender. These are readily available at most electronic stores.
