Smart Dog Doors

The myQ Pet Portal Won a Smart Home CES 2021 Best of Innovation Award

The newest addition to the myQ Smart Access Ecosystem is the myQ Pet Portal and it gives pet parents the ability to safely let pets out while they are away. The system boasts live video streaming and two-way communication through the myQ Pet Portal app so that pet parents can remotely allow pets to go outside, relieve themselves and play.

The myQ Pet Portal is meant to replace an existing exterior door and it is available in a variety of material and color options to suit existing household aesthetics. The door boasts an integrated hidden smart panel that's undetectable to other critters and it has an elevator-style opening mechanism so that pets wearing the custom collar sensor can be granted safe entries and exits on demand.
