How do I set up a smart garage door opener?

You can add smart control to your existing garage door opener with an inexpensive smart garage door controller like the Chamberlain MyQ or Meross. These devices attach to your existing opener and connect to Wi-Fi, letting you open and close the door from your phone. You can set schedules, receive alerts when the door opens, and integrate with other smart home systems. Most install in under 30 minutes with no special tools. Some newer garage door openers come with smart features built in.

Why It Matters

A smart garage door opener eliminates the worry of whether you left the garage open and lets you let in deliveries or guests remotely.
