Is myQ Safe to Use

The app is stable, secure (I use Face ID in iOS to unlock the app) and has a friendly interface. Among smart garage door openers, though, the MyQ could be more friendly when it comes to working with other smart home devices.

Can a smart garage door opener be hacked?

Yes, smart garage door openers can be hacked through the WiFi network that they are connected to. If a hacker gains access to your WiFi network, it can access any devices connected to it, including your smart garage door opener.

Can someone steal my garage door frequency?
