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. The security aspect of MyQ Smart Garage would give us peace of mind that our door is closed….there have been instances of ppl randomly opening garage doors with a remote to gain access, but if we are alerted to the door opening when we know it shouldn’t, we might just catch these POS’s in the act!

  2. I believe it would have to be security. Although there is the convince factor, security would be for most top priority. Especially if you have a business and store tools, supplies, vehicles, recreational and other items in your garage and also especially if the location of your garage is in a remote country property. Security is a must. This would be one of the most useful items one could have to insure you have secured personal and company property items.

  3. Security for me is most important because I want to feel safe in my own house where my family is.

  4. Security is paramount. My garage is home to thousands in tools and toys, neither of which I’d be happy to find missing when I get home. Smartphone integration would make me feel at ease when I’m gone for long periods of time.

  5. MyQ smart garage hub is more important because it help you life easier with the quick access in your smart phone

  6. It would definitely be the security feature that is most important to me. Thank you for the opportunity to win this great prize.

  7. #bestbuy FTW! Always amazing contests! All features are a killer ones, safety security a MUST! A remote access is the king, but THE REAL deal is a great help with all online deliveries being delivered and not left at your door waiting for someone to take while your not home, but safely stored inside your garage space!! A+

  8. I really like the idea of being able to check and see if the door is open or closed (remotely via my phone) and close the door if I forgot. So often I leave the house and then think “did i close the garage?”… this way i can put my mind at ease and make sure I didn’t leave it open after leaving the house for the day.

    • I can use my phone to open and close the door and this will be it easier to operate the garage door for me and my brother and I am also intereested in the security aspect of it

  9. Moving towards a smart home is the goal for my house. I have smart locks and smart thermostat. I wish to explore the MyQ smart garage door system.

  10. I need this for my Mother, she always freaks out and thinks she left the garage door open when she leaves the house.

  11. Security of the MyQ Smart Garage Hub is more important because it will make me feel more confident that our family and pets will be safe.

  12. Both are definitely important! I think in my case convenience wins though since we’ve lost our opener and now have to get in and out of the car every time to open the door – that’s definitely not convenient! Lol

  13. I always forget if I’ve closed the door or not… I’d love being able to see if it was open or not via phone

  14. Just bought a new car it didn’t come with a garage opener and we’re out of the buttons to open the garage. Plus I don’t have a key to access my house it would be the perfect accessory!

  15. The convenience of being able to open and close the garage from my phone, and not having to carry around the garage opener

  16. Security for sure. Nice to know the status of the door from my phone. Have left it open more then once.

  17. Convenience. period. Opening and closing the garage from my phone, that’s one word: AWESOME!

  18. I want to be able to check if my garage door is open or closed when I’m away. This is also convenient for when we go for walks as a family that I will not need to remove a garage door opener from a vehicle to bring with me to open the garage when coming back.

  19. I like the fact that I can monitor whether it is open or closed from anywhere. I have a bad habit of leaving home and the garage door is left WIDE open. My neighbours often call and ask why the doors been open so long……This would save me a lot of trips home to close it. Thanks!

  20. Security – I have a fear that I left the garage door opened. This way I can check and close it while i’m away.

  21. I love the convenience that you can control your door with your phone from anywhere! Amazing!!

  22. CONVENIENCE. It’s just one of those things when you leave the house knowing you can check if you closed the garage door or not and easily close or open the garage door from the “convenience” of your smart phone =)
