myQ Smart Garage Video Keypad Wins Good Housekeeping’s 2023 Home Reno Award

Published

on

OAK BROOK, Ill., Nov. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Chamberlain Group, the trusted leader in smart access solutions, is proud to announce its latest smart home innovation – the myQ Smart Garage® Video Keypad – has been honored with the coveted Good Housekeeping 2023 Home Reno Award. Since its 2023 spring debut, the myQ Smart Garage Video Keypad has fast become a smart home must-have. And, according to Good Housekeeping, it’s a product that will help you nail your next home improvement project.

 

A simple to install smart home upgrade, the Smart Garage Video Keypad replaces your old garage keypad (numeric pad mounted outside garage door) so you can SEE and CONTROL who opens your home’s busiest entryway. This innovative device includes a high-definition camera to help enhance the security of your home while empowering you to effortlessly manage access. It works with the highly rated (and free!) myQ app, where you can create and manage personalized PIN codes, set limits on days and times when codes can be used, get notifications when the garage is accessed, and be alerted when someone or something is detected in your driveway. No more worrying about lost keys or unauthorized entries — with the myQ Smart Garage Video Keypad you are in control. 

“The garage is the primary entry point for tens of millions of Americans — no surprise given that the space is attached to the home in so many cases. So, it was only a matter of time before we started seeing video keypads for the space, akin to the video doorbells that have become ubiquitous at front doors in the last decade,” said Dan DiClerico, Director of Home Improvement & Outdoor at the Good Housekeeping Institute. “Setup was straightforward. We also liked that if you pair the myQ Video Keypad with a myQ Connected Garage Door Opener (like the Chamberlain Secure View that won a 2022 Home Reno Award) you can let visitors in by opening the garage door remotely through the myQ app.”

The myQ Smart Garage Video Keypad is compatible with LiftMaster, Chamberlain, and Craftsman garage door openers installed after 1993 that use photoelectronic sensors. Unlock even more features when you pair it with a myQ Connected Garage Door Opener, including the ability to open/close your garage door from anywhere and the ability to turn your garage into a secure package delivery drop–off location to outsmart porch pirates. Most homeowners already have a smart garage door opener and do not realize it. Simply download the myQ app and tap “Check Compatibility” to quickly find out.

Key features of the myQ Smart Garage Video Keypad:

Personalize Access: Enhance the safety of your home, while making it easy to get in. Create unique PIN codes and schedule access for family, guests and service providers with your myQ app – anytime, from anywhere.Visual Confirmations: Get peace of mind by seeing that your loved ones have arrived home safe. The built-in camera quickly detects motion and provides an ultra-wide 160º field-of-view around the garage so you know who is coming and going. Additional features like Person Detection, rich notifications and video storage can be accessed through a Video Subscription Plan, which is free for the first 30 days.Meaningful Notifications: Get real-time alerts when PIN codes have been used. Reliable myQ notifications take the place of forgetful texts and eliminate any worries around the kids getting home safely.2-Way Audio: Visitors can use the call button on the Smart Garage Video Keypad to make calls just like a video doorbell. When homeowners receive a myQ notification that someone is calling, they can access a live video stream and communicate with the caller using the device’s two-way communication.

“This recognition by Good Housekeeping is a testament to our unwavering commitment to delivering innovative, user-friendly smart home solutions that will improve the home,” said Brendan Lyons, Chamberlain Group’s Senior Vice President, Residential Business. “The Smart Garage Video Keypad is an essential addition for anyone planning a home improvement project or just looking to enhance the security of their home.”

The award selection process was run by home building and engineering experts through the Good Housekeeping Institute Home Improvement & Outdoor Lab, a trusted resource for millions of homeowners looking to make their homes more beautiful, functional, safe and efficient. The myQ Smart Garage Video Keypad underwent months of rigorous testing to be considered for the Home Reno Award, including performance-based lab tests and in-home consumer reviews. Through more than 5,000 testing hours, Good Housekeeping experts and consumer testers took a close look at the scores of submissions that poured into the Home Improvement & Outdoor Lab. Only products that truly make the home better — whether easier to operate, more energy-efficient, safer, more stylish or some combination of them all — earned a place on the Home Reno Award’s list of winners.

Mili and Egnyte Partner to put Client Documents to work in Financial Advice

Published

By

The partnership brings Egnyte’s secure content platform and Mili’s AI agents together, so advice firms can deliver more comprehensive, personalized advice at scale.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mili, an AI platform for wealth management firms, and Egnyte, a leader in secure content collaboration, intelligence, and governance, today announced a partnership that brings Mili’s AI agents to client documents in Egnyte. Advisors work from a file or a whole client folder alongside data from the firm’s CRM, portfolio and planning systems, under each advisor’s Egnyte permissions.

Kitces Research finds that reviewing client documents is the most common way advisors use AI. Its productivity research puts a new financial plan at 15 to 40 hours of team time.

Advisors use Mili’s agents to model the tax cost of moving a client’s accounts into the firm’s strategy, weigh a rebalance against unrealized gains, summarize a bonus agreement and build a financial snapshot from a statement. The agents link answers to their sources and flag what an analysis may still need.

David Ringler, Managing Director at Onyx Bridge Wealth Group ($1.6B+ AUM), said, “Egnyte and Mili are two valuable pieces of technology in our stack, and bringing them together has changed how our practice runs. Mili’s meeting prep and planning agents have become significantly better with Egnyte data behind them.”

Chirag Gandhi, Co-Founder and CEO of Mili, said, “How many clients an advice firm can serve well has long been capped. It is set by the work of understanding each client’s financial life. Agentic AI is changing that, helping advice firms uplift client capacity by accelerating the delivery of high-quality advice.”

Kyle Blair, Director of Global Financial Services at Egnyte, said, “Egnyte helps financial services firms accelerate critical business operations by turning document-heavy tasks into faster, connected, and revenue-generating workflows. Our partnership enables Mili’s AI agents to securely access and work on customer data within Egnyte for better business outcomes.”

The integration is live for mutual customers. Building on Mili’s work with hundreds of advice firms, it aims to put a firm’s full client knowledge into its advice.

About Egnyte

Egnyte is a leader in secure content collaboration, intelligence, and governance, trusted by more than 23,000 customers to increase employee productivity, drive operational efficiencies, and secure mission-critical content. Egnyte’s AI-powered platform empowers organizations to create, share, and protect their information at scale, with specialized solutions designed to meet the unique needs of organizations in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), financial services, life sciences, and other industries.
