is this the Chamberlian MyQ device?

I have been having some issues with my garage door randomly opening (it is possible that my kids are no closing it properly) - so I bought this bad boy: http://www.chamberlain.com/smartphon...odel-myq-g0201. I can now monitor the position of my garage door via my cell phone. When my door opens or closes I get a notification on my phone. I can tell the position of my door at any time via the app.

Took a bit to hook it up, but it seems pretty slick to me - cost was $130 at home depot and I bought a wi-fi extender for $50.
