SafeGarage and myQ, side by side
The question we get most: is it like myQ? Here is how the two are built, from Chamberlain’s own pages and ours.
| What | SafeGarage | myQ Smart Garage Control |
|---|---|---|
| Wired to the opener | To its terminals. | Paired with the learn button. |
| Batteries to change | None. | Needs a battery. |
| Knows the door is open | Asks the opener directly. | Needs an extra sensor on the door. |
| Opener light from the app | On and off. | Needs a separate myQ light. |
| Lock out the remotes from the app | Yes. | From the wall panel only. |
| Home Assistant | Built in. | Removed in December 2023. |
| Subscription | None. | Some features need one. |
| Price | $89 CAD | $89.99 CAD |
Why we built it
I had a myQ on my own opener. Mine didn’t work consistently, so I built this.
