🧰 What You’ll Need Before You Begin

To ensure a smooth setup, gather the following items and information:

• A smartphone or tablet (iOS or Android)
• A strong Wi-Fi signal in your garage
• Your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password
• The Chamberlain Secure View Opener is installed and powered on
• The myQ App, available for free in the Apple App Store or Google Play

Make sure your opener is powered up, and the garage has good lighting for camera setup. Having a ladder nearby might help when accessing the unit’s Learn button.

📲 Step-by-Step: Connecting to the myQ App

Here’s a detailed breakdown of each step to connect your Chamberlain Secure View to the myQ App.

✅ Step 1: Download the myQ App

Start by downloading the official myQ App:

2. Enter your Wi-Fi password, then tap “Connect.”
3. The LED on your opener will flash blue and then turn solid green once the connection is successful.
