Yes, in the past, Liftmaster sold the garage door monitor, requiring you to be at home to check the status, but since 2012, the MyQ app connects to your home's internet to see if your garage door is open or closed. Genie came out with Aladdin later, and other brands now have similar apps. If you do not have a newer motor with this built-in, it is possible to retrofit your motor with an add-on product from Liftmaster and Genie. For example, for Liftmaster motors aged 1999-2011, you can add a new wall button called an 889LM and an internet gateway 828LM, which makes your previous older motor capable of connecting to the app. If you have a motor 2012 or newer, you may only need the 828LM or you may already be able to easily add the MyQ app.
