This integration delivers the flexibility, convenience, and enhanced monitoring and control of Honeywell customers’ Liftmaster and Chamberlain myQ-enabled connected garage door openers. “Integrating with Honeywell’s Total Connect is another important step in delivering the depth and breadth of functionality smart-home users seek,” said Cory Sorice, vice president and general manager of Emerging Business at Chamberlain Group. “We look forward to continuing to expand and innovate with tech and maket leaders to make the connected home a reality for every household.”

Providing access to Chamberlain and LiftMaster’s myQ-enabled connected products is another expansion of the Honeywell Total Connect ecosystem, giving users more options to control their connected home.

Through the Honeywell Total Connect app, users have the ability to:
- Monitor and control myQ connected openers
