UNPARALLELED IN-HOME EXPERIENCE

Unlike other Smart Controllers and Smart Garage Door Openers on the market, there are no subscription fees to use the beam integrations. Homeowners are thrilled with their Smart Home capabilities with advanced Alexa API, Apple Watch, IFTTT applets, and HomeLink compatibility with all beamUP garage door openers. Smart Home integrations shouldn’t hinge on an annual subscription.

AMAZON ALEXA

Amazon Alexa designed around your voice. Its far-field voice recognition hears you from across the room and lets you control your connected home devices without lifting a finger, beam included! Once the beam skill is enabled, you’ll be able to use verbal commands such as:

  • “Alexa, tell beam to close the Garage” – Close an open door

  • “Alexa, tell beam to open the Garage” – Open a closed door (requires a Pin Code)

  • “Alexa, ask beam if the Garage is open” – Check if door(s) are open

Note: Alexa now requires that you provide a Pin Code any time you want to open a garage door using your voice. You must also enable the beam skill in the Alexa App before you can speak commands to beam using Alexa.
