Imagine that you are going away on a vacation and you now have the ability to open your garage door for your neighbor so they can feed your cat or water your plants. Or have you ever had the “Oh no! I left the garage door open” moment? Wouldn’t it be comforting to know that you would be able to check and make sure that you closed your garage door without having to turn around and go back? Or, you are on your way home, it’s late and dark and you now have the ability to turn some house lights just so you don’t come home to a dark house. Or even turn your lights on or off at certain times of the day while you are away on that overseas trip to discourage any potential break-ins. You can do all this and more with the LiftMaster Internet Gateway accessory and one of the three new garage door openers that are equipped with these innovative features. The Built-in MyQ Technology has the ability to communicate, manage and activate other MyQ enabled devices in your home. This gives the home owner greater control and security since you are now able to open or close the garage door or turn on or off lights using just your smartphone or computer from virtually anywhere in the world. With the Battery Backup, you’ll be able to get in and out of your garage even in a power outage.
The LiftMaster Internet Gateway works with the LiftMaster Models 8550, 8360 and 8500. All you need to do is use your internet-enabled mobile device, smartphone, ipad or computer to connect remotely to the LiftMaster Internet Gateway, the gateway then communicates with the garage door opener to open or close or communicates to your home lights to turn them on or off.
Since we at Worcester Door Company have been installing these new Garage Door Openers, our customers are more at ease and feel a lot more in control when they are away from their home. Finally, homeowners can now take advantage of modern day technology in something as standard as a garage door opener and have peace of mind.
So the bottom line is that you can now relax, whether you’re across the street, or across the ocean you can control your garage door from your smartphone or computer with the new Garage Door Openers with MyQ Technology.
