Konnected Introduces GDO blaQ at CEDIA 2024
At the upcoming CEDIA 2024 event, Konnected will unveil its latest product, the GDO blaQ, at Booth 3252. This innovative smart garage door opener accessory promises to enhance user experience by allowing seamless integration with existing systems.
Transforming Garage Door Management
The GDO blaQ is designed to work with major brands such as Chamberlain, LiftMaster, and Merlin, specifically those that utilize Security+ and Security+2.0 protocols. This new product enables both homeowners and professional integrators to operate their garage doors with unmatched ease and security.
Effortless Integration with Smart Home Systems
This cutting-edge product boasts strong integration capabilities with Control4, thanks to a collaboration with Chowmain Software. Additionally, GDO blaQ supports various smart home platforms including SmartThings, Home Assistant, and Alexa, providing users with a range of control options and automation features. Homeowners will be able to monitor the status of their garage doors, receive notifications, and automate various functions.
Addressing Market Demands
Nate Clark, the CEO and Founder of Konnected, shared that the GDO blaQ was created to fill the void left by myQ’s ecosystem restrictions. With myQ recently limiting access to independent software integrations, many users found themselves in need of alternatives. Konnected offers a fully local, open-source solution that ensures complete control over garage door management.
Key Features
The GDO blaQ is designed for easy installation, requiring only the connection of two wires to the garage opener or wall button. This method simulates a digital wall button, removing the need for bulky sensors. Users can effortlessly manage their garage door’s status, control lights, and monitor safety features such as wall-button motion sensors and safety beams.
Commitment to Safety
Safety is a top priority, as the GDO blaQ adheres to stringent safety standards established by U.S. regulations. It comes equipped with built-in audio and visual alerts, ensuring safe operation without requiring additional installation efforts from integrators.
Enhancing Garage Security
Konnected encourages users to elevate their garage security with the GDO blaQ. This product offers automated features that can notify homeowners if the garage door is left open, disable remote controls during the night, and integrate motion sensors with comprehensive smart home security systems.
Manufactured in North America
The GDO blaQ is proudly made and assembled in North America, demonstrating Konnected’s dedication to quality and innovation.
