Konnected's Smart Garage Door Openers

Konnected offers two types of smart garage door openers: the GDO White and the GDO blaQ. Both products retrofit old wired garage door openers to enable remote access and integration with smart home platforms. They can be controlled from anywhere with no fees or batteries and are compatible with SmartThings, Alexa, Hubitat, and Home Assistant.

GDO White

The GDO White is compatible with most traditional garage door openers that do not have built-in smart home app integration.

The GDO White is not compatible with garage door openers that have Security+ 2.0 technology.

GDO blaQ

The GDO blaQ is designed for Chamberlain/LiftMaster garage door openers with yellow, red, orange, blue, purple, or brown learn buttons, including those with myQ built-in. It uses the same Security+ protocol as myQ to communicate with the garage door opener without the need for the myQ app or cloud service.

It is also compatible with all other brands of garage door openers (including Genie) and older Chamberlain/LiftMaster models.
