MyQ Garage GIVEAWAY!
Friends, my robot arsenal is growing.
Remember how it all began with my robot vacuum? Then I added the voice activated wi-fi thermostat, so that I could control the temperature in my home without getting off the couch? But I couldn’t stop there. I’m like the Brangelina of smart home-appliances. So please welcome the newest member of my ever-expanding robot family, the MyQ Garage!
When I was asked to review this product, I immediately knew it would fit right in at my house. Here’s the gist: it’s a little slice of technology heaven that links your smartphone to your garage door.
Ever had one of those panicked moments, usually after you’ve been driving for about an hour, and you suddenly think “Crapola! Did I shut the garage door?”
Or perhaps you’ve never wondered that at all, but come home from being out all day only to discover that you indeed forgot to shut the garage door, and now you have to pretend to be brave in front of your kids as you search your house for ninja boogymen hiding in the closets, and this actually just happened to me last week. It’s the worst feeling!
With the MyQ Garage, you’ll never have to wonder again. Just pull up the free app on your phone and it will tell you the current state of your garage door:
Phew! Talk about peace of mind.
But that’s not all. You can also control it with your smartphone too! Tap that little garage door icon, and up it goes! Tap again to close! It sounds an alarm inside the garage for about 10 seconds, so you aren’t catching anyone off guard when it engages.
My boys ride their bikes to school, so they come and go through the garage. So all year long, I’ve had an alarm set on my phone to remind me to open it up a few minutes before they get home. There’s been a few instances that I haven’t been home in time to open it, whether I got stuck in traffic or had errand take longer than I planned, and they’ve been locked out of the house. But now I never have to worry about that again! I can open the door anytime, anywhere.
It’s super simple to install too – no wiring necessary, which is great because that means I can easily take it along when we move out of this rental.
The larger WiFi hub is plugged into the ceiling, next to the garage door opener. The smaller sensor is attached directly to the inside of the garage door, either with screws or heavy duty mounting tape. Then you download the app, which walks you through a few simple steps to set it up, and that’s it! The app is password protected for an extra level of security.
I’m thrilled with the MyQ Garage, and happy to confidently recommend it to you, and also happy to be able to give one away to a Better After reader today! Woo!
