Some final touches...
Finished the Atlas Matador insulation in the garage door panels.
I found the garage door needed to be adjusted after adding the 15+ lbs
I had the garage door adjusted, replaced the rollers and replaced the opener.
I used the Chamberlain 3/4-HP MyQ Battery Backup Belt Garage Door Opener.
The MyQ technology is awesome. Open/close and turn on/off lights via iPhone.
All I can say is...what a difference! Now I know why they call it a Whisper drive.
I attached a MyQ Internet Gateway and remote light controls.
This is pretty kewl stuff from a garage door opener!
"MyQ enabled Lamp Controls device simply plugs into any wall outlet and allows
you to control any lamp or small appliance TV etc. in the home. Use the included
key chain remote or flip the switch from far and away with the MyQ Home Control

"Chamberlain® products enabled with MyQ® technology now allow you the ability

and incredible peace of mind as you can now monitor any MyQ enabled product

From anywhere in the world, with an Internet Gateway and
the MyQ Home Control Smartphone App you’re able to:
- Monitor and control your garage door opener and lights
- Get notified if your garage door opens or if a light was left on
- Know if your garage door opened while you were away
I have now hooked up my garage door to my alarm system via alarm.com
