About this app

beam is the simple and secure way to control and monitor your garage door from anywhere in the world, without replacing your existing garage door opener. The app uses industry-standard security technology to keep your data—and access to your garage—safe and secure.

With beam, you can:
- Control one garage door with a Smart Control Kit installed *
- Customize your door name
- Recieve notifications if you’ve left your door open
- Grant access to your friends and family—no need to buy extra remotes!
- Monitor your door’s activity
- Setup integrations with other smarthome products and services, such as Amazon Alexa and IFTTT
- Lock app via fingerprint

*The beam app requires the purchase and installation of a Smart Control Kit, which is compatible with garage door openers made after 1993 with a photo-eye safety system, with sectional doors. Learn more at beamlabs.io.

It CONSTANTLY stops working & gives error message, "your contoler has been disabled due to too many failed closes. To re-enable, please close the door using the wall control.". Except there aren't any failed closes. Literally - none. It just stops working. It also requires a ridiculous number of batteries to use it. Buy stock in Duracell, cuz you'll be changing batteries every week or two, even with it constantly erroring out & not working. TOTALLY disappointed.

Most of the time, I can't even get the app to finish loading. Just sits there, loading... Also, the IFTTT integration doesn't work well if you have more than 1 garage door with BeamUp. For example, I can select either sure to close at 9pm, but not both. I can't even duplicate the rule (unless I go through IFTTTs interface). No Google home support. Would be sweat if it could use my phone's location and Bluetooth sensing to know which car I'm in and which garage door to open/close.

UPDATE: 6/16/25 APP CRASHED, WON'T WORK AT ALL! Just shows a spinning circle! This app is absolute junk. Worked for a week, now, it shows an error code when you try to open or close the door. The door opening notification never works even though it's turned on. For such a basic app design, it has so many problems. My old Chamberlain app opener was 100x's better. Hey designers take some pride in your work and fix this, or scrap and redesign a new one. You should be embarrassed by what you offer.
