If you ever forget to close your garage door at the end of the day, you can set up a specific time for your MyQ-enabled garage door to close automatically. Here's how to set it up within the MyQ app.

You can either rely on this schedule and have your garage door automatically close at night, or you can simply use it as a backup in case you ever forget to close the garage door at the end of the day---if your garage door is already closed, the app will recognize that and will skip the automatic closure. Either way, you'll never have to deal with an accidental open garage door ever again.
