How to Create and Manage myQ Account Notifications

You can set up notifications in the myQ app to know when there is activity on a connected myQ device. Notifications can be sent to your phone or email.

If you choose a specific time for your notification, the notification can’t be scheduled past midnight. For example: If you want the scheduled notification to run from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am, you must create two notifications. One notification to schedule 10:00 PM to 11:59 PM and then another notification to schedule 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM.

How to Create a Notification for a myQ Account

1.Tap the plus sign (+) on the home page then select the connected device or tap the gear icon located within your device view.

2.Tap Notification or Notification and Alerts. Existing alerts for this device will be displayed.

3.Select the device you want to set a notification for.

1. Custom times can be set up by enabling Custom Time and Day otherwise, notifications will be received for all times and days (24 hours a day, 7 days a week)

• When scheduling notifications that run past midnight, you’ll need to create two separate notifications. For example: If you want the notification to run from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am, set up one notification for 10:00 PM to 11:59 PM and then create another notification for 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM. This way, you’ll cover the entire time period.

If you denied this request when installing the app, you will need to turn it on. Consult your device’s instructions for enabling a push notification for the app.

• If your event history does not match your time, update your zip code and time zone within the account settings. See myQ® Home Control App Website – Time for alert/event is different from local time or wrong.
