The Top 4 Reasons You Need myQ When You Travel

1. Never wonder/worry if the garage door was left open or if the front door wasn’t locked

With so much to remember on the way out the door, it’s not uncommon for people to drive away for vacation wondering if they remembered to close the garage door or lock the front door. With the myQ app you can control, secure and monitor your myQ connected garage door and locks – even from the beach.

2. Don’t miss what’s happening back home

For those who want the added peace of mind of seeing what’s happening back home, the myQ app can help when you link it to a smart garage camera. Homeowner’s who have a smart garage door opener with a built-in camera or a free-standing Smart Garage Camera can watch live streaming video on their phone from anywhere for an added layer of protection while on vacation. No worries if you are looking to disconnect during vacation. You won’t have to miss a thing that’s happening back home with a myQ Video Storage Plan, you can go back and view video events whenever you want. myQ recently expanded its basic video subscription plan (recording, downloading and sharing access events) to include People Detection, Motion Detection and Rich Notifications for greater peace of mind and convenience.

3. Easily share access without sharing keys

Have someone coming over to water the plants or take care of pets? Or find that you need to give garage access to a repair person while you are away? Easily share full access with members of your household or limited access with a repair person through the guest feature in the myQ app. No need to share keys or codes. Plus, you can set alerts to know when someone is checking in on your plants and/or pets and that the garage wasn’t left open by mistake.

4. Stock the pantry before you return from vacation

After a long day of travel (especially if they include delays and cancellations), no one wants to have to make a grocery run when they get home. myQ works with in-garage delivery, so you can skip the trip to the grocery store and have everything delivered to your garage, where they will be waiting for you. You can even watch the delivery take place in real-time through the myQ app.
