How Does the myQ Connectivity Bundle Work?

Now let’s get into the details. To enable smart gate control, you’ll need the myQ Connectivity Bundle from Eastern Garage Doors. Here’s what’s included and how it works:

1. myQ Gateway

The myQ Gateway is the central hub that connects your Merlin gate opener to the internet. Once set up, it communicates with your gate and sends information to your phone via the myQ app.

2. Smart Garage or Gate Control Kit

This kit allows your Merlin opener to integrate with the myQ system. It essentially turns your existing gate opener into a smart, connected device.

3. myQ App

The myQ app is where the magic happens. Available on iOS and Android, it’s intuitive, user-friendly, and packed with features. From the app, you can:

  • Open and close your gate.
  • Check the gate’s status.
  • Set up real-time notifications for added security.

 

  1. Safety Beams

Safety beams to ensure that you are not opening or closing your gate on any vehicle or person parked within the gates operating range.

Installation: Making the Switch to Smart Technology

You might be thinking, “This all sounds great, but how hard is it to set up?” The good news? It’s super straightforward, and Eastern Garage Doors is here to help.

Real-Life Scenarios: How myQ Makes a Difference

To help you see just how much of a difference myQ connectivity can make, here are a few real-life examples:

  • Coming Home After a Long Day: Imagine pulling into your street and tapping a button on your phone. Your gate glides open smoothly, and you drive in without stopping—rain, hail, or shine.
  • Letting in a Delivery: You’re at work, but a courier is dropping off a package. With myQ, you can open the gate remotely, watch them leave the package, and close the gate again. No stress.
  • Kids Forget Their Keys: Your teenager forgot their house key (again). Instead of leaving work early, you open the gate for them with a tap on your phone.
  • Keeping Your Home Secure: If someone opens your gate unexpectedly, myQ will send you an alert immediately. It’s an extra layer of security that traditional remotes just can’t offer.
