HGTV’s Smart Home 2016: SPOTLIGHT

Can you guess where we’re placing the spotlight? If you guessed the garage, you’re correct! HGTV’s 2016 Smart Home features LiftMaster operators and smart phone technology, including an Elite Series Wi-Fi garage door opener, an Elite Series wall mount garage door opener, and MyQ accessories. Get up to speed on the latest in garage door technology, and consider swapping the old for the new this spring or summer!

MyQ Technology

Install a free app on your smart phone called “LiftMaster MyQ,” and connect it to your garage door opener following simple instructions. Once your mobile device is connected to your door operator, you can control and monitor your door from your phone, no matter your location! Whether you’re in town or thousands of miles away, you can open and close your garage door. This app can be set to send you a notification if your garage door is left open longer than 10 minutes, and it can also be programmed to control the lighting throughout your home! This comes in handy while you’re away on vacation -- you can turn on the lights in your home at night to keep burglars away and turn them off during daylight hours to save electricity.

Model 8550W

The 8550W garage door opener has built-in Wi-Fi capabilities. This means you can set up the MyQ app on your phone and connect it to your opener. The motor on this opener is reliable and durable, and its belt system performs powerfully and quietly. It is equipped with a battery backup system, so it can continue to operate if you experience a power outage. The warranty includes lifetime coverage for the motor and belt, five-year coverage on parts, and one-year coverage on the battery.

Model 8550W is equipped with Security+ 2.0. This means that every time the door opens or closes, a new code is sent to the opener, assuring the door won’t open inadvertently. It can also be programmed to close after a specific amount of time. PosiLock will cause the door to lock down automatically if someone tries to open the door by force.

Model 8500

This wall mount opener is designed to free up ceiling space. It has many of the same safety and security features as Model 8550W, including Security+ 2.0 and motion detectors. It can be set up to connect to MyQ Technology and has a Power Lock Deadbolt to prevent break-ins. It requires the 828LM MyQ Internet Gateway to connect to a MyQ app. Model 8500 mounts near your garage door for easy access and is durable, quiet, and powerful. Wall mount openers are ideal for cathedral or obstructed garage ceilings.

All LiftMaster openers should be purchased through a dealer and installed by a professional garage door technician.
