At Buzz, we’re thrilled that smartphones are for more than checking Facebook, playing Candy Crush and online dating. Now, some honest-to-God useful technology enables people to control their access gates and garage doors with a smartphone app. MyQ technology allows you to open and close gates and garage doors, turn lights on and off, adjust your thermostat, and all sorts of nifty things, even when you’re far from home. Best of all, your friends at Buzz can install systems that are compatible with your smartphone, and teach you how to use them.
Use any device
The MyQ-enabled LiftMaster Internet Gateway connects your tablet, computer or smartphone with your gate operator, garage door opener, or other household systems. Want to double check that your garage door is closed while you’re tapping on your keyboard at a neighborhood café? You can see it right there on your computer screen. What if you’re on vacation in Italy and you want to double check that your gate back home is secure? Just click on your phone. Instant peace of mind.
