There are 2 ways to work your garage door opener with your iPhone or Android device.

1. You can buy a new opener that is compatible with Liftmaster myQ. (If you bought a new Liftmaster in the last few years you may already have it. Check for the myQ logo on the side or under the plastic cover of your opener. If you have it just download the app and you're ready to go).

2. You can inexpensively buy the "myQ Smart Garage Door Hub" and mount it on the ceiling of your garage. Attach the accompanying sensor(s) to each garage door and now you're ready to download the app.

The Hub is 4.5" square, weighs 8 ounces and mounts to the ceiling using 2 screws and a bracket that come with it.

It is manufactured by Liftmaster and works with almost any brand of opener manufactured since the 90s.

Now you're ready for the all the benefits of a smart garage door opener.

• Joggers, cyclists, and motorcyclists no need to pack that remote any longer.

• Yup, you can go ahead and take the remote off the visor of the car. We all know that's where it is.

• Just got in bed and wondering if the garage door is still open, you can check right from your phone. Won't remember to check? Set an alert.

• Want to open and close the door for a delivery? the kids are locked out? no problem.

• You can use this as your ticket to the Amazon Key program and have your packages securely delivered inside your garage
