MyQ on Apple Watch Not Working

It works. Thanks. I deleted the app from the watch directly. Then installed it directly from the Watch App Store. Close the App on the watch, the open again and allow to connect with Apple Watch app. It worked. Thanks.

Fixed it for me (as several others have said): Two steps ON the watch: Deleted the app from the watch directly, then install it directly from the Watch App Store. The app on watch will fail until you open the App on the Phone and it prompts you to authorize the watch. I had the same grief as others… deleting from phone and reinstalling from phone- even rebooting phone and watch- none of those worked. I suspect the key is getting the watch reauthenticated to the phone app- which only happened when deleted+installed from the watch itself.

YES to "Craftsman myQ Garage Access" // The install/uninstall works for a brief time - then it is useless again. Repeating this will fix briefly (until used?). As others are doing - I'm now using the "Craftsman myQ Garage Access" App, with the same credentials as the MYQ app (download to phone, login in, install on watch, add watch with "+" from phone app). It instantly works - and seems to work after multiple opens and closes on Watch unlike the broken "MyQ" app.

After researching on other Workgroups that have exactly the same issue, I downloaded and installed on the iPhone and Watch the "Craftsman myQ Garage Access" App, with the same credentials as the MYQ app. So far, it's working well. Liftmaster has reported to be working on fixing MYQ App

I've been having this same problem for a couple of weeks - sometimes the fix worked, but by the next day, the same issue popped up. I just called Chamberlain support (as opposed to chatting with them) and the rep had me try to install the 'Craftsman MyQ App' (Red Icon) instead of the 'MyQ App' (Blue Icon). Same company, same app, same login, and (at least for now) the apple watch app is working flawlessly. Good luck!

This, per above, worked for me: Two steps ON the watch: Deleted the app from the watch directly, then install it directly from the Watch App Store. The app on watch will fail until you open the App on the Phone and it prompts you to authorize the watch.

Found this on Reddit, works for now, but most fixes are short lived lately…

1. ⁠remove app from watch (on the watch) then the phone.

2. ⁠hard restart on each device.

3. ⁠add to phone and login setting it to remember login info.

4. ⁠close the app on the phone and allow Bluetooth.

5. ⁠install on the watch from the watch

6. ⁠start app on the watch (it will error out)

7. ⁠start app on the phone (it will ask to allow the watch access)

8. ⁠close the app on the phone and open again.

It works. Thanks. I deleted the app from the watch directly. Then installed it directly from the Watch App Store. Close the App on the Phone, the open again and allow to connect with Apple Watch app. It worked. Thanks.

Update: downloaded an update to the MyQ app that seems to have fixed the Apple Watch error we’ve been experiencing since the previous update broke the functionality. Try updating via the App Store and let us know if that has fixed the problem for your watch as well. Good luck!

After reading all the comments, I did the update from the App Store to the MyQ app, and that fixed the problem. It updated on the watch too automatically and everything works again.

This seems to occur periodically when they update their app. Unfortunately, uninstallation of the app and reinstallation wasn’t successful this time. Ticks me off because I use my watch to open the garage door after a jog.

The MyQ garage door opener is a cheap add-on, that’s one saving grace.

Here’s MyQ/Chamberlain’s article on syncing to the Watch, but this does not seem to resolve this bug:

Mgreinhart, thank you. The reddit post instructions worked for me. The first time, I didn’t follow the sequence correctly and it didn’t work. Then realized my error and tried it again carefully with success. Thanks.

To be clear, the Reddit instructions failed for me. I’m 99.999% sure this is a software fault.

Specifically, the MyQ instructions to click “+” to “add Watch” didn’t pan out.

It failed for me again after my steps above. Definitely an issue since the last one or two App updates. Hopefully they fix soon, was working so well.
