Chamberlain Group Acquires Lockitron and Tend to Expand myQ Smart Garage Hub
Chamberlain Group purchases smart lock maker Lockitron and security camera startup Tend to integrate their technologies into the myQ smart garage platform.
Chamberlain Group expands its smart home portfolio by acquiring connected door lock maker Lockitron and Wi-Fi security camera startup Tend. The company plans to integrate both technologies directly into its myQ smart garage hub, creating a more comprehensive home access system for users.
Lockitron, an early pioneer in the smart lock industry known for its affordable Bolt device, brings residential door control to the myQ ecosystem. This acquisition allows homeowners to control both their garage doors and standard entry doors through a single myQ smartphone application.
Tend contributes advanced video capabilities and artificial intelligence, including facial recognition, to the myQ platform. With this integration, users gain the ability to view live video feeds of their garages directly within the myQ app, adding a significant layer of visual security to the existing access controls.
