Connecting MyQ to Google Home

Step 1: Create a MyQ Account

Step 2: Link MyQ to Google Home

Once you have a MyQ account, open the Google Home app on your phone or tablet. Tap on the “+” button in the top left corner, then select “Set up device.” Choose “Works with Google,” search for “MyQ,” and follow the prompts to link your accounts.

Set up routines. You can create routines in the Google Home app to open or close your garage door at specific times or when you’re leaving or arriving home.
Share access with family members. You can grant access to your MyQ account to other family members so they can control the garage door remotely as well.
