LiftMaster MYQ-K40TXXW Video Keypad Access and Compatibility Details
The LiftMaster MYQ-K40TXXW myQ Smart Garage Video Keypad combines a traditional exterior garage keypad with connected video monitoring. It provides PIN-based garage door access while adding a 1080p HD camera, night vision, advanced motion detection, 2-way audio, activity notifications, and live video through the myQ app.
This keypad is intended for residential garage access applications. It can be useful for homeowners who want to give family members, guests, cleaners, contractors, or other authorized visitors a PIN without handing out a garage remote. Access can be managed through the myQ system while the integrated camera provides a view of activity around the garage entrance.
What the MYQ-K40TXXW Does
- Operates one compatible residential garage door opener using programmed PIN access.
- Provides 1080p HD video with night vision.
- Provides a 160-degree diagonal wide-angle camera view.
- Supports motion detection and real-time activity notifications.
- Includes a speaker and microphone for 2-way audio through the myQ app.
- Allows personalized PIN access for household members and guests.
- Uses an illuminated keypad for easier operation after dark.
- Connects to compatible 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks.
Compatible With
The myQ Video Keypad is compatible with select LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Craftsman, Raynor, and AccessMaster residential garage door openers manufactured after 1993. Exact operation depends on the opener's model, manufacturing generation, wireless system, and existing myQ capability.
Do not order by brand name alone. Check the garage door opener model number, manufacture date, and programming or learn-button information before ordering. Older units, unusual commercial operators, and other manufacturers may require different equipment or may not be compatible.
Important myQ Compatibility Note
The MYQ-K40TXXW should not be confused with a myQ Smart Garage Control Hub. The Video Keypad can provide local PIN access to a compatible opener, but the keypad by itself does not automatically give a non-myQ garage door opener remote open and close control from the myQ app.
Remote garage door operation through the myQ app requires a compatible myQ Wi-Fi garage door opener or a compatible Smart Garage Control Hub connected to the myQ system.

Video Monitoring and Subscription Considerations
A paid video monitoring plan is not required for basic live video streaming or compatible access and motion notifications. Recorded video history and certain enhanced monitoring features require an applicable myQ Video Monitoring plan. Available subscription features and plan terms can change, so customers who specifically need stored recordings should confirm the current myQ service options.
Optional Power Adapter
The keypad normally operates from its removable rechargeable lithium-ion battery. For installations where frequent battery removal and charging is undesirable, the MYQ-KH1VXXW myQ Video Keypad Power Adapter Kit may be used where appropriate. The power adapter is a separate accessory unless specifically included in a bundle.
Similar Products Are Not Automatically Interchangeable
Do not assume that a standard LiftMaster wireless keypad, another myQ camera, or a Smart Garage Control Hub performs the same functions as the MYQ-K40TXXW. Conventional wireless keypads generally provide PIN access without the integrated video features. A Smart Garage Control Hub is used to add compatible myQ garage control functionality and is not a replacement for the exterior Video Keypad.
Technician Note
Check Wi-Fi signal strength at the planned mounting location before installation. A keypad can be close enough to operate the garage door but still have an inadequate Wi-Fi connection for reliable video, notifications, battery-status reporting, or myQ app functions. For difficult garage locations, improving the wireless network is preferable to assuming the keypad or opener is defective.
Before Ordering
- Verify the garage door opener brand and exact model number.
- Confirm the opener was manufactured after 1993 where applicable.
- Check the opener's learn-button or programming system.
- Confirm whether the opener already has built-in myQ Wi-Fi connectivity.
- Determine whether local keypad operation or remote app operation is required.
- If remote app operation is required on a non-myQ opener, verify whether a compatible Smart Garage Control Hub is also needed.
- Confirm adequate 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi coverage at the exterior mounting location.
- Determine whether rechargeable battery operation or the optional MYQ-KH1VXXW power adapter is preferred.
Installation and Service Notes
Follow the manufacturer setup process in the myQ app when pairing and programming the keypad. The keypad should be mounted where the camera has a useful view of the garage approach while remaining conveniently accessible for PIN entry.
If the garage door does not respond after programming, first verify opener compatibility, learn-button programming, battery charge, and whether the correct garage door opener was selected during setup. Wi-Fi problems can affect video and app features even when a previously programmed PIN can still operate a directly paired opener.
