Why would anybody want to have remote access to their garage doors? There are many:
Check to see if your doors are closed from anywhere in the world, close or open then remotely, and others.
Using an app on your phone/iPad is the old way of communicating with your garage doors or really anything in your house.
I have my whole house automated and controlled thru 1 app that allows me to say over my iPhone/Apple Watch/iPads: open my garage door, or open/close my front door, or turn on lights, music, and better: I have 1 button that allows me to hit to close everything and I have a schedule that closes or turns off device at certain times.
If you use apple, this is all provided for free if you buy the supported devices and/or run a free app on a computer (Mac or linux) that uses plugins for non-supported devices.
I think you should reread my post, I said Some MVP openers, the frequency is 318 and MyQ won't communicate!!!! But there is a way in doing it if you are knowledge enough. Like I said to many know it all's that do not do there research!
