From The Manufacturer

Z-Wave Garage Door Opener Remote Controller

Expert Reviews


What experts liked

A big advantage of the Z-Wave control versus the MyQ Garage’s reliance on Wi-Fi is that you have local control, so if your Internet goes down, you can still control your door from around the home.
Easy to install and use

What experts didn't like

It is not a good choice if you just want to open and close your garage door remotely, as you need a separate home-automation hub for it to function, and no stand-alone app will work with the GoControl device by itself.
