If you have an ADT security system in your home, you may be wondering how to connect it to MyQ, a garage door opener app. While it is possible to do this, it should be noted that ADT and MyQ are not affiliated with each other. As such, there is no official way to connect the two systems. However, there are some workarounds that may allow you to get the two systems working together.
The first thing you'll need to do is download the MyQ app onto your smartphone or tablet. Once you've done this, open up the app and create an account. Once your account has been created, you'll need to add your garage door opener to the app. To do this, tap on the Add Device button and follow the instructions on-screen. You'll need to enter your garage door opener's model number and serial number, as well as its WiFi password if it has one.
Once your garage door opener has been added to the MyQ app, go into the ADT control panel and look for the Alarm Monitoring section. In here, there should be an option for MyQ Connectivity. Select this option and then enter in your MyQ login information (email address and password). Save these changes and exit out of the ADT control panel.
Now, open up the MyQ app again and go into its settings menu. In here, select the ADT option and then enter in your ADT user ID and password (these are different from your MyQ login credentials). Once you've done this, select Enable next to ADT Monitoring. This will allow communication between the two systems so that they can work together.
You should now be able to arm/disarm your ADT security system using the MyQ app as well as view any alerts that are triggered by activity at your home (e.g., someone opening a window or walking through a door). Note that you will still need to use the physical keypad on your ADT control panel in order to perform certain functions like changing passwords or adding new users; The MyQ app simply provides a convenient way of monitoring activity at your home while you're away from it.
