A smarter home is easy to achieve with simple additions in key areas. The garage is one of those areas that is perfect for a smart upgrade. MyQ Smart Garage hub is the perfect way to make this very important entry point of your home more secure, and more convenient for you and your family. Enter this contest for your chance to win one of 5 MyQ Smart Garage Hubs that we are giving away.

Enhanced Garage door security and enhanced convenience

As we have all found out over the past decade or so, more security often correlates with more hurdles. Think about passwords, for example, the most secure passwords are long sequences of characters that are changed frequently. However, those same passwords tend to be hard to remember—they are less convenient!

The newest smart technology for your home not only makes your home more secure, it also makes your home easier to keep secure, and easier for your family to enter and leave safely. The MyQ Smart Hub does this for your garage. Get in more easily; keep others out more easily.

Blogger Matt Paligaru recently installed one of these in his home, and reviewed it. Watch his video and you’ll see that it really is easy to install and use.

Matt showed that installation, and configuration with the app are really simple. And once you have the MyQ and the app, you can control the door with your phone (no more need for a separate remote) and monitor whether it is open or closed from anywhere. Think of how convenient that will be in your home!

Which is more important to you: security or convenience? MyQ has both! To enter this contest you must pick one or the other. Here are the details of the contest:

  1. Security, save me from turning around halfway to work because I’m worrying I left the garage open.

  2. Security is more important to me as I need always to make sure that my garage door is closed and safe.

  3. I love the convenience of both installation and use. Being able to open the door for someone no matter where you are in brilliant!

  4. Security. I need to ensure my things are safe. When you have a great product protecting you, you will have less thieves around therefore being safer for my family. All around-security!

  5. Convenience of the MyQ Smart Garage Hub is more important for me, as it doesn’t take much time to smart monitoring the home!

  6. Security. I would like to be able to check my phone to see if someone in the house forgot to put the garage down door.

  7. security is the most important for me. the ability to make sure the garage is closed from anywhere is great

  8. Being able to use your smartphone to control the opening and closing of the door would be so much more ideal then having to use the very unreliable button openers. And the security as well!

  9. Security would be a big one for me. I’d be able to make sure my garage was secure from some distance away.

  10. Security for sure! We have a 91 and a 93 year old here at the house I am a part time care giver living in the same home, she is the only one with the garage door opener, the other one went missing years ago. She keeps the remote for the garage door opener in her purse. One day while the I was out, she accidentally opened the garage door (from another part of the house) without knowing while reaching into her hand bag, and we had our snow blower stolen! What a fabulous idea and amazing technology., the MyQ Smart Garage Hub is something I have been looking for and would put the control fully in my hands., she still refuses to give up the remote lol !

  11. Security is most important, I always fear leaving the door open and having things stolen. I think many can relate to coming home and seeing their garage door open and then inspecting to see if anything was missing.

  12. At my new home we are making everything smart, so a garage door that we can manage from our phones would be amazing, plus the security and convenience of knowing that we closed the door or not is great. Would love to win it

  13. Always second guessing myself as I pull down the street whether I have actually shut the door, so this allows me the piece of mind to check the status and then remotely close it if necessary

  14. security is the most important for us! Gotta keep our belongings safe and well hidden so that thieves are not tempted to steal anything.

  15. Convenience. I’ve become pretty absent-minded about things like closing the garage door. This would help me check on myself, and close the door if necessary, even from a remote location.

  16. Security is more important to me as we live on an acreage and rural crime has really spiked the last few years.

  17. To be able to check remotely to see if I actually closed the garage door would be a real plus for me.

  18. I would love to be able to check on the garage door remotely as so many times I have wondered if I actually closed the door!

  19. I love both aspects of this tech but I think convenience is the top winner. Too many passwords and not remembering them does not help with feeling secure.

  20. wow the fact that it ups the security in my home and is easy to install is just the icing on the cake. Honestly needing a new garage door opener like tomorrow, as mine is no longer working. this couldnt have come at a better time please let me be the lucky winner! good luck everyone!

  21. Security is is very important to me more than anything else. I am a cautious person and you can never be too careful. Especially now more than ever.

  22. Security. The fact that I can easily lock my garage door when away is huge. It’s also huge when I need to let someone into the garage and I’m not home.

  23. Security is most important reason for me. Having ability to be alerted to if /when the door is opened or left opened is great. Convenience is also big factor where i don’t need to carry the remote door openers in car.

  24. It has to be security hands down. It’s like wondering if you’ve closed all the windows or forgot to lock the front door.

  25. Seeing if the door is open when I am laying in bed. With a garage separate from the house its a trip outside to see

  26. Fred D.
    Regularly forgetting to close garage door after parking car in garage at night,would be convenient to double check once inside the house on phone and close it !

  27. Not needing a separate remote!!! And being able to control with my phone. Now it’s find the remote and once you find it, hope battery in remote is working. A 50% chance at best of both happening at any given time.

  28. Being able to check on the garage door remotely, and then closing it, in case I’ve left it open accidentally.

  29. I believe convenience would be more important, no more searching for the remote, if a friend needs to borrow a tool and I’m not home I can just open it up and let him in then lock up after.

  30. Security would be my number one reason for using this. If someone forgets to close door you can just pick up phone and lock everything up!
