Comcast Adding Chamberlain MyQ Control Technology, Netgear Camera to Smart Home Menu

Comcast will add Chamberlain’s MyQ control software and Netgear’s Arlo camera to its Xfinity Home smart home offerings, it said Tuesday. Comcast customers will be able to monitor and control their garage doors from “virtually anywhere” with their Xfinity Home app later this month, Comcast said. App control for Arlo will be available early next year, it said. “While there are more connected devices available than ever, consumers continue to struggle with the best way to make them work together,” Dan Herscovici, Xfinity Home general manager, said. The addition of MyQ and Arlo is part of a strategy to “aggregate the best home automation and security features” and bring them into a “common, easy-to-use and seamless experience,” he said.
