With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myq.com\/\">myQ<\/a> technology, it\u2019s just like I\u2019m home as far as my garage door is concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liftmaster.com\/secure-view-ultra-quiet-belt-drive-smart-opener-with-camera-led-corner-to-corner-lighting-and-battery-backup\/p\/87504-267MC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">model 87504-267<\/a> we had installed, is SOOOO much quieter than our old opener that my wife couldn\u2019t believe it.&nbsp; The sleek unit comes with an ultra-quiet belt drive, that can actually operate on battery backup in case of a power failure, which was an ongoing problem when we first moved into this neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A wraparound 2,000 lumen LED \u201cCorner-to-Corner\u201d lighting system literally lights our whole garage and comes on automatically when you walk into the garage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"705\" height=\"693\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Liftmaster-myQ-sq-1.jpg?resize=705%2C693&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-104978\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dougbardwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Liftmaster-myQ-sq-1.jpg 705w, https:\/\/dougbardwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Liftmaster-myQ-sq-1-480x472.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 705px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myq.com\/\">myQ<\/a> app on my phone, I can remotely open and close the door. I can even provide a code to Amazon Key, so they can leave packages or groceries inside for me in bad weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve programmed the app so it does a few really convenient things for me. It will ping my phone whenever the door opens or closes when I\u2019m away.&nbsp; With the camera actually built into the opener, I not only know the door is opening, but I can look and see what\u2019s coming or going. With two-way audio, I can even talk to someone in the garage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve also programmed it so if we come home and forget to close the door, after 5:30 p.m., it will automatically close itself. Happened just last night as a matter of fact. The myQ app is available for both iOS and Android. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liftmaster.com\/locate-a-dealer?type=gdo\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a
