If you have a newer garage door opener from Chamberlain (or its professional brand LiftMaster), it’s likely that it comes with MyQ. Here’s how to set it up so that you can open and close your garage door remotely using your smartphone.

如果您有张伯伦(或其专业品牌LiftMaster)较新的车库门开启器，则可能是MyQ随附的。 设置方法如下，您可以使用智能手机远程打开和关闭车库门。

什么是MyQ？ (What Is MyQ?)

MyQ is the name of Chamberlain’s wireless technology that allows homeowners to operate their garage door using their smartphones. It’s very similar to Garageio, GoControl, and others, but the technology is built right into Chamberlain’s newer garage door openers, meaning that there’s no need to spend more money on an external controller.

MyQ是张伯伦无线技术的名称，该技术允许房主使用智能手机操作车库门。 它与Garageio ， GoControl等类似，但是该技术内置在张伯伦的新型车库门开启器中，这意味着无需在外部控制器上花费更多的钱。

However, some MyQ garage door openers don’t have Wi-Fi built in, while others do. If yours fits in the former category, you’ll need a MyQ Internet Gateway. It should come with your opener when you buy it, but if not, it’s around $50. It simply acts as a middleman between the opener and your router, while MyQ openers with Wi-Fi built in will communicate with your router directly.

但是，有些MyQ车库门开启器没有内置Wi-Fi，而另一些则没有。 如果您属于前一类，则需要MyQ Internet Gateway 。 购买它时，它应该随您的开瓶器一起提供，但如果没有，它的价格约为50美元。 它只是充当开启器和路由器之间的中间人，而内置Wi-Fi的MyQ开启器将直接与路由器通信。

If you don’t have a Chamberlain garage door opener, but want to have the ability to control your garage door remotely, you can buy a MyQ kit that will work with most third-party garage door openers. However, your garage door must have safety sensors and the correct programming buttons on the opener unit.

如果您没有Chamberlain车库门开启器，但希望能够远程控制车库门，则可以购买MyQ套件 ，该套件可与大多数第三方车库门开启器配合使用。 但是，您的车库门必须在开启器上具有安全传感器和正确的编程按钮。

This tutorial will go over how to set up a Chamberlain garage door opener that already has MyQ built in but no Wi-Fi, which means we’ll be setting up the MyQ Internet Gateway as well.

本教程将介绍如何设置已经内置MyQ但没有Wi-Fi的Chamberlain车库门开启器，这意味着我们还将设置MyQ Internet Gateway。

第一步：连接MyQ Internet Gateway (Step One: Connect the MyQ Internet Gateway)

The MyQ Internet Gateway will need to connect to your router via ethernet, so make sure that there’s a spare ethernet port on your router that you can use. It will also need to be plugged into power, so make sure that you also have an open outlet nearby that you can plug the gateway into.

MyQ Internet Gateway将需要通过以太网连接到您的路由器，因此请确保路​​由器上有一个备用以太网端口供您使用。 它还需要插入电源，因此请确保附近还有一个开放电源插座，您可以将网关插入电源插座。

Before you go to plug it in and shove it away behind your desk, be sure to jot down the serial number on the back of the unit, since you’ll need it later during the in-app setup process.

在插入插头并将其推到桌子后面之前，请确保记下设备背面的序列号，因为稍后在应用内设置过程中将需要它。

To connect the gateway, simply plug it into power and then plug the included ethernet cable into the gateway and the other end into a spare ethernet port on your router (any of the ports labeled 1-4 will work). The green and blue LED lights on the gateway will blink for a few moments and then the green LED will stay solid when it connects to the internet.

要连接网关，只需将其插入电源，然后将随附的以太网电缆插入网关，另一端插入路由器上的备用以太网端口(标记为1-4的任何端口都可以使用)。 网关上的绿色和蓝色LED指示灯将闪烁一会儿，然后在连接到Internet时，绿色LED将保持稳定。

第二步：创建一个MyQ帐户并下载该应用程序 (Step Two: Create a MyQ Account & Download the App)

The first thing you’ll need to do before going any further is creating a MyQ account on Chamberlain’s website. Start by clicking on “Sign Up” in the top-right corner of the screen.

首先，您需要做的第一件事就是在张伯伦的网站上创建MyQ帐户。 首先单击屏幕右上角的“注册”。

Enter in details like your name, email address, country, and more. Agree to the terms and then hit “Next”.

输入详细信息，例如您的姓名，电子邮件地址，国家/地区等。 同意条款，然后单击“下一步”。

Next, you’ll need to confirm your email address, so check your inbox and click on the activation link inside of the email.

接下来，您需要确认您的电子邮件地址，因此请检查您的收件箱，然后单击电子邮件内部的激活链接。

After clicking on the link in the email, you’ll be taken back to the website where you can log in to your newly-created account.

单击电子邮件中的链接之后，您将被带回到可以登录到您新创建的帐户的网站。

From there, you’re done with the web interface, and you’re ready to set up your MyQ garage door opener from the MyQ app.

从那里，您已经完成了Web界面，并准备从MyQ应用程序设置MyQ车库门开启器。

第三步：将MyQ车库门开启器连接到MyQ帐户 (Step Three: Connect Your MyQ Garage Door Opener to Your MyQ Account)

Next, download the MyQ app (available for iOS and Android), or—if you have a LIftMaster garage door opener—download the separate LiftMaster MyQ app (also for iOS and Android). We’re using the LiftMaster app in this tutorial, but both should follow similar instructions.

接下来，下载MyQ应用程序(适用于iOS和Android )，或者-如果您有LIftMaster车库门开启器，请下载单独的LiftMaster MyQ应用程序(也适用于iOS和Android )。 在本教程中，我们正在使用LiftMaster应用程序，但是两者都应遵循类似的说明。

Once you have the app downloaded and you’re logged in, start by tapping on the big plus icon on the screen to add a device.

下载完应用程序并登录后，请点击屏幕上的大加号图标以添加设备。

Next, tap on “Add New Place”.

接下来，点击“添加新地点”。

Enter in the serial number of your MyQ Internet Gateway that you wrote down from the first step, and then hit “Submit” the top-right corner of the screen.

输入从第一步开始写下的MyQ Internet Gateway的序列号，然后单击屏幕右上角的“提交”。

On the next screen, enter in a name for your house. Something simple like “Home” will do just fine, but feel free to be as creative as you want. Hit “Save” in the top-right corner when you’re done.

在下一个屏幕上，输入您的房屋名称。 像“家”这样简单的东西就可以了，但是可以随心所欲地发挥自己的创造力。 完成后，点击右上角的“保存”。

Select the device that you’re setting up. In this case, you’ll want to choose “Garage Door Opener”.

选择您要设置的设备。 在这种情况下，您需要选择“车库门开启器”。

Next, go up to your garage door opener unit and locate the learn button. It will likely be a yellow or purple button.

接下来，转到车库门开启器单元并找到学习按钮。 它可能是黄色或紫色的按钮。

Tap on “Next” in the app when you’ve located the button.

找到按钮后，在应用程序中点击“下一步”。

After that, press and release the learn button. In a few seconds, the light on your opener should blink. If not, wait a little longer and press the learn button again until the light blinks.

之后，按下并释放学习按钮。 几秒钟后，开启器上的指示灯应闪烁。 如果不是，请稍等片刻，然后再次按学习按钮，直到指示灯闪烁。

When successful, the app will automatically move onto the next screen where you’ll name your garage door opener. Hit “Save” in the top-right corner when you’re done.

成功后，该应用程序将自动移至下一个屏幕，您将在其中命名您的车库门开启器。 完成后，点击右上角的“保存”。

You’ll then be taken back to the main screen where your garage door will appear. From there, you can tap on the garage door illustration to open your garage door remotely, as well as close it.

然后，您将回到显示车库门的主屏幕。 从那里，您可以点击车库门图以远程打开或关闭车库门。

Keep in mind that when you go to close your garage door remotely, your garage door opener will emit a beeping noise for about 10-15 seconds before closing the garage door. This is so that anyone in the way of the garage door has time to move, as well as generally warning anyone who’s in the garage that the garage door is closing.

请记住，当您要远程关闭车库门时，在关闭车库门之前，车库门开启器会发出哔哔声约10-15秒。 这样一来，妨碍车库门的任何人都有时间移动，并且通常会警告车库中的任何人车库门正在关闭。
