Why does the East County region matter for this service?

myQ versus HomeKit — what's the deal?
myQ (LiftMaster and Chamberlain's native platform) is the most common and works great through the myQ app. The catch: myQ doesn't natively support Apple HomeKit anymore as of 2023. If you're an Apple Home household and you want Siri control, you need a HomeKit-compatible device instead — Meross MSG100HK, Tailwind iQ3 with the HomeKit Hub, or an Aqara hub. We'll ask which platform you use before picking the hardware.
Is my opener new enough to go smart?
Any opener with safety sensors (so post-1993) can be retrofit with a Tailwind or Meross. LiftMaster and Chamberlain openers from 2011+ work directly with a myQ hub. Genie openers pair with Aladdin Connect. If your opener is 30+ years old, retrofit is possible but it's usually better to just replace the whole opener for $550 to $950 and get Wi-Fi built in.
