MyQ has it's purpose and is rather inexpensive, but does its job well. I'm gone a lot, and it controls 5 different garage doors in 3 locations, so it's very nice to know when each one is up/down, or if one has been left open and needs to be closed. I can remotely open it for service people or if I give them a code I know exactly when it was used. I also have surveillance systems but they have a different role and have commensurate price tags.
