"myQ is literally opening doors to create intuitive solutions that simplify and secure access experiences, transforming how we use and think of common entry points to homes, communities, businesses and beyond," said Jeff Meredith, President and Chief Operating Officer for Chamberlain Group, Inc.

Since the COVID-19 outbreak, our lives have changed in ways we never imagined. More households adopted pets, grocers have mobilized to better accommodate home deliveries and the rise of contactless has become the new norm. Helping people adapt to new lifestyles, myQ has become the catalyst for solving real-world access problems, making life easier and changing the way we go about our daily lives.

Need a way to easily let your pup out to potty or play when you're away from home? Finding yourself worrying more about when to schedule your grocery deliveries vs when you're going to get to the store? Want an easy, contactless way to let the delivery driver into your apartment complex? With myQ, you can do all of the above and more, right from your smartphone or your car's in-dash touchscreen. This year you will see myQ bring to life smart access solutions that include:

  • myQ Pet Portal: myQ Pet Portal provides the modern-day convenience of connected smart home access made just for four legged friends. Your pup can go in and out when nature calls, and you can control, secure and monitor the door and your pup right from the myQ Pet Portal app. Live video streaming with 2-way communication even lets you see and hear everything that's going when you aren't there. Seamlessly integrated within the door, the Pet Portal blends right into the natural décor of the home, so visitors or passersby won't even realize it's there. To see how it works click here.
