Using the MyQ Home Bridge, users can open, close or check on the status of their garage doors. They can also turn MyQ-connected lights on or off utilizing Apple's HomeKit app via their iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Apple Watch, or using Siri. Owners of MyQ will also be able to create scenes that enable multiple Apple HomeKit devices to work in combination with a single command. For instance, a user can create a scene titled, "Arriving Home" and when activated, MyQ will turn the appropriate enabled devices on or off, like the lights in your house or the door gets unlocked when the garage door opens using the MyQ Home Bridge.

"The MyQ team has worked hard to deliver an exceptional experience to the HomeKit ecosystem," said Cory Sorice, Vice President and General Manager of Emerging Business at Chamberlain Group. "HomeKit users will appreciate the level of convenience and control we deliver with MyQ technology."
