Connecting a LiftMaster MyQ Garage Door to a Honeywell Alarm System

In this video, Joe from Alarm Grid shows you how to pair a LiftMaster MyQ Garage Door Controller to a Honeywell Alarm System. You cannot control a LiftMaster MyQ Controller directly from a Honeywell System, but you can operate it through Total Connect 2.0, which is often used with Honeywell Systems.

Total Connect 2.0 is an interactive monitoring and automation platform that you can access from pretty much anywhere. It can be pulled up at any time using a web browser or a smartphone. The platform offers various integrations, including one for LiftMaster MyQ Garage Door Controllers. This will allow you to open and close your garage door from the Total Connect 2.0 platform. Unfortunately, the integration is somewhat limited, as you cannot use the LiftMaster MyQ Garage Door Controller with Total Connect 2.0 Smart Scenes. But you can still receive text and/or email alerts regarding any garage door activity.

A few things are required to use Total Connect 2.0. You need to have a Honeywell Alarm System with a compatible AlarmNet Communicator. You must also have an alarm monitoring plan that includes access to Total Connect 2.0 for automation. For Alarm Grid customers, this means having a Silver Level Monitoring Plan or higher. You should have the LiftMaster MyQ Garage Door Controller set up in its entirety before attempting to pair it with Total Connect 2.0. This includes connecting the LiftMaster MyQ Garage Controller to a local WIFI network and creating a LiftMaster MyQ account. You will need to provide your LiftMaster My account information to Total Connect 2.0 to complete the integration.

Remember, Total Connect 2.0 offers some great features. You can arm and disarm your system, check current system status, control Z-Wave devices, view cameras, and more from this convenient platform! Please contact [email protected] if you are interested in learning more about Total Connect 2.0.
