We’re excited to announce Alarm.com for Apple CarPlay - giving iPhone users quick access to your favorite smart security controls right from your vehicle’s built-in display.
CarPlay offers a driving-friendly interface, helping you stay focused on the road ahead while keeping tabs on your property, no matter where your journey takes your.
So I can control my garage doors through the alarm.com app on my phone, and through the IQ4 main and remote panel, but not through the CarPlay app? Such a fail. I’m so tired of corporate politics getting in the way of doing what is right for the consumers.
This workaround of using a Garadget dry contact adapter and connecting your garage door to Alarm.com with a Z-Wave or Aladdin Connect controller theoretically should work around the BS, making it available in Alarm.com for CarPlay and in the MyQ app at the same time. It should work for Android Auto as well.
We haven’t tested it ourselves to prove it though.
