There are two main garage door openers in the home automation space. The first is the Chamberlain MyQ and the second is the GoControl. The hardest part about setting up the MyQ was that I had to hit a funny orange button on my existing non-automated Chamberlain opener and then hit the button on the opener in my car to sync ’em up. It took about 10 tries, but eventually it worked.
Once configured, I didn’t love the loud noise the device made to open the garage door (guessing that because it’s compared with a strobe that this is a safety measure). Once the Chamberlain is configured, open the Wink app. Then tap Add A Product and then tap on Garage Doors.
At the Garage Doors screen, tap MyQ Garage Door.
At the Chamberlain Garage screen, tap on Next to verify that you want to add a MyQ to the Wink.
At the Get MyQ App screen, tap on I Have An Account (unless you don’t have an account yet, then tap on Get MyQ App and download the app, setup the garage door, and create an account).
At the Connect Account screen, tap on the Connect Now button.
At the MyQ overlay of the Link Account screen, enter your credentials and then tap on Authenticate.
Provided the authentication worked, tap on Done. Tap Name Garage Door and provide a name for the door (useful if you have two doors).
Next, use the Wink app to test the opener.
