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.

Agreed. I’m not sure the ultimate reasoning behind Chamberlain’s decision, but it stinks. The same limitation has been true for Android Auto.

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.
