Yes, the LiftMaster 8500 works with MyQ technology, but the method depends on the specific sub-model. The newer LiftMaster 8500W features built-in MyQ and Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing direct smartphone app control out of the box. The older legacy LiftMaster 8500 model is MyQ-compatible but requires purchasing and installing a separate external LiftMaster Internet Gateway (Model 828LM) connected to your home Wi-Fi router to bridge the opener to the MyQ smartphone app. Verification: Open the MyQ mobile app while connected to cellular data and verify that your garage door status updates and responds to remote commands.
