The proven product portfolio has now been optimised and more clearly profiled. LiftMaster, the world leader in professionally installed garage door openers, is updating its product portfolio in the European market. “We want to significantly enhance the LiftMaster brand of garage door openers for our end users. This is why we have given the Evolution garage door openers a facelift. “With an extended accessory range – particularly with a modification of the transmitters supplied with the products – LiftMaster is being more clearly defined as a premium brand.” explains Product Manager Grigory Trusov. All five garage door openers available in the Evolution Series will in the future be delivered with two new 4-Channel Evolution Code transmitters with a car-key design. They have very high safety standards that far exceed the standard of commercially available models. In addition, the TX4UNIF – a universal transmitter on 433MHz that can also be used with the Evolution series – can be ordered as a high-quality accessory with the same design. Using the elegant style and design the garage door openers still have the striking black-and-red appearance that customers appreciate. “Market analyses have shown that our openers not only meet high expectations in terms of quality, but also in terms of appearance, which is why we saw no need to change.” says Grigory Trusov. Smart connection thanks to MyQ technology In addition to the classic access via hand-held remote controls, the LM60EVF, LM80EVF, LM100EVF and LM130EVF garage door openers can also be controlled using MyQ technology. The free MyQ app allows you to monitor the garage from anywhere, because it indicates whether the door is open or closed. You can also set up a notification that will be sent as soon as the door moves. As the app provides monitoring and control in one, the garage door can also be operated remotely at any time. Partnerships with Apple, Nest and other leading technology suppliers also aim to seamlessly connect automation to their platforms. In Europe, the combination with Nest indoor and outdoor surveillance cameras and Nest thermostats is already a reality. This provides another bonus in convenience and security around your home, with no compatibility issues. Also, users can already control each garage door opener via Apple Watch. LiftMaster will supply its Evolution garage door openers with two new 4-channel Evolution Code transmitters in car key design. These transmitters use the 868MHz frequency with our specially developed encrypted code technology. This goes far beyond the standard of commercially available models and ensures optimum security.
