Chamberlain today has released its newest retrofit, connected device, MyQ Smart Garage Hub. After releasing its MyQ Home Bridge product that brings HomeKit support for existing MyQ setups last month, the Smart Garage Hub is billed as a universal smartphone garage controller that brings smarts to most garage door openers.
Chamberlain first debuted its MyQ Smart Garage Hub back in January at CES. Now, most garage door opener brands made from 1994 or newer can get a simple upgrade with Chamberlain’s latest product. The company notes that Smart Garage Hub “installs in minutes” and gives users “the ability to open, close and monitor the garage door from virtually anywhere, at any time, via the MyQ app. ”
MyQ Smart Garage Hub comes in at $99. To enable HomeKit features like using Siri commands and including your garage door in Home app scenes, users will need to buy the MyQ Home Bridge. Chamberlain is currently offering a $20 discount when you buy its bundle of the Hub and Bridge for $150 (reg. $170).

We also just learned today that Chamberlain has offered a free MyQ Home Bridge to MyQ Community members who joined the community on or before 9/30/17. The company is having eligible customers fill out a survey to redeem the free upgrade. Alternately, if you purchased the new HomeKit supported MyQ Home Bridge in the last two months, you can keep it and apply for a refund.
For new MyQ customers, Chamberlain provided a $20 off coupon on the purchase of a MyQ Smart Garage Hub & MyQ Home Bridge bundle. For existing MyQ customers a $20 coupon (MYQHB20) offer that further discounts MyQ Home Bridge from the introductory special price of $49.99 to $29.99. Offer valid until 10/8/2017 only on Chamberlain.com.
