Close your garage door with a button press
How this automation works
The question you ask yourself in bed. When your MyQ garage door opens, Notify! puts a Live Activity on your iPhone that stays there for as long as the door is open, so a glance at the Lock Screen answers it. Pair it with the Applet that clears the tile when the door closes.
