Merlin’s smart home technology, myQ, has been in the market since 2017, and we know how much our customers love being able to monitor and control their garage door away from home.
At Merlin, we’re committed to innovating and redefining our residential garage door openers and accessories to make life that little bit easier, which is why we’ve developed our latest feature on the myQ App, myQ Guests.
myQ Guests is a new, free feature that allows users to grant access to an additional three people for remote, App-enabled control and monitoring of their garage door and lights from their own myQ App and login*.
How does myQ Guests work?
It’s so easy to use the myQ Guests feature and share your account with your family or trusted friends!
myQ Guests works with the latest version of the myQ App (versions 3.120 and higher). Both parties will need the myQ App (the feature is not available through the myQ website). All you need to do is send an invite, and the user will need to accept it within three days. Once everything is set up, they’ll be able to switch between their own myQ account and yours – no password sharing required.
