Smart Garage Door Systems: Convenient
& Secure Access

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can a Wi-Fi router interfere with smart garage door systems? 

  Yes, a Wi-Fi router can potentially interfere with a garage door opener, especially if the router is located too close to the opener or if there are obstructions like walls. Wi-Fi operates on similar frequencies, which can lead to connectivity issues. Ensuring a strong Wi-Fi signal in the garage and minimizing obstructions can help mitigate this interference. 

• Can someone else have the same garage door frequency? 

  Very unlikely. Modern garage door openers, including the LiftMaster models, typically use rolling code technology, which changes the code each time the remote is used, helping prevent others from accessing your garage door. Having a smart garage door system can actually be set up to alert you when it is opening or closing, so you’ll always know the status of your garage door. 

• How many doors can Liftmaster Smart Garage Control control? 

  The LiftMaster Smart Garage Control can manage up to two garage doors. This allows you to monitor and control both doors through the Brinks Home Mobile App, providing convenience and security from anywhere. 

• How do I know if my garage door opener is Wi-Fi capable? 

  To determine if your garage door opener is Wi-Fi capable, check for a Wi-Fi logo or a yellow learn button on the motor head. If your opener has these features, it is likely
  Wi-Fi enabled.

• Can I use my own smart home device?

  Yes. Since the Brinks Home system can integrate up to 120 different Z-Wave smart home devices, including smart garage door openers from well-known brands like LiftMaster and Genie, you can add the device you already own.
