4 ways to make the most out of your smart garage

If there is one thing that we learned from Prime Day it’s that the smart garage is a must-have for Amazon Prime Members. Chamberlain Group’s myQ Smart Garage Hub was one of the best-selling smart home items during Prime Day. So, why are so many homeowners focusing on making their garage smart?


1) Get deliveries straight to your garage with Key by Amazon.

Key by Amazon lets you get packages delivered safely and securely right in your garage so you don’t have to worry that the dog’s food, kid’s birthday present or a special treat for yourself will get wet or go missing. If you’re a Prime member in one of 50 eligible cities and surrounding areas, simply download the free Key by Amazon app, sync it with your myQ profile, and start selecting in-garage delivery when you shop on Amazon.com. Your packages will be delivered directly into your garage for no extra charge by a delivery driver, like Tesya, who walks you through how in-garage delivery works in the video below.


2) Never wonder if the garage door is open.

How many times have you driven away from home wondering if you left the garage door open? Or, how many times do you have to remind the kids to close the garage door after they get home from school before they actually do it? With a myQ-connected smart garage door opener, you’ll always know whether or not you or a family member has left the garage door open. You can check the status of your garage door, plus open and close the garage door from your smartphone – anytime, anywhere.


3) Know who is coming and going at all times.

You can’t be in two places at once but you can get real-time alerts when your garage door opens and closes to keep track of daily comings and goings. And, if you pair your smart garage door opener with an Amazon Cloud Cam, you can actually see the kids heading out on their bikes, check to make sure the dog sitter made it in – or just keep an eye on your car while you’re at work. You can also watch in-garage deliveries live, or view a clip in the app after they have been completed.


4) Share garage access – without sharing your password.

With myQ Guest, you can securely and conveniently invite people to your inner circle so they can control and check the status of your myQ-connected garage doors, gates and lights from anywhere.

More than 75% of homeowners use the garage as their primary access point into the home. With Key by Amazon and Chamberlain’s myQ technology, it’s never been easier to make the most of your smart garage.

While most home sales reach closing on time, unexpected hurdles can sometimes push back the timeline. A common issue is financing delays, which occur when buyers struggle with loan approvals or undergo financial changes before closing. Appraisal gaps—when a home is valued lower than the agreed price—can also create setbacks. Additionally, title complications such as liens, missing paperwork, or ownership disputes can slow things down. Sellers and buyers should stay proactive, work closely with lenders and agents, and address potential issues early to avoid unnecessary delays. Need help navigating the closing process?

Ceiling damage can occur due to water leaks, cracks, or general wear and tear, making timely repairs essential. Before fixing the surface, it's important to address any underlying issues to prevent future damage. Small cracks and dents can be filled with spackle or joint compound, while larger holes may require drywall patches. Once repaired, sanding, priming, and repainting will help blend the area seamlessly with the rest of the ceiling. Proper repairs not only restore the ceiling’s appearance but also maintain the structural integrity of your home.

A growing design trend that reconnects us with nature is integrating outdoor elements into interior spaces. Many modern homeowners and designers believe that bringing nature indoors can refresh a home’s energy and enhance its ambiance. After a long day, there’s nothing better than unwinding in a space that feels connected to the natural world. Popular ways to achieve this include incorporating natural wood finishes, maximizing sunlight with large windows, and using eco-friendly, locally sourced materials. Adding houseplants is another simple yet effective way to bring a touch of nature inside while also improving air quality with their oxygen-producing benefits.

For your air conditioner to function efficiently, air must circulate properly through the condensing unit. If the cooling fins become bent or clogged with debris, airflow is restricted, making the system work harder and reducing its effectiveness.
