- Home Assistant blocked from integrating with Garage Door opener API
- MyQ's horrible take on open access to their devices

How Do We Lobby MyQ to provide a decent API?
Personally I went with OpenGarage https://opengarage.io/. I have been using OpenGarage for 3+ years now. It has been amazing.
- Ask HN: How do I make sure my mom's garage door is closed?
- Q: How does my 2-wire garage door remote know if my garage door currently up or down?
-
My first Arduino project sends me a text if my garage door is open at 9:30 PM each night.
If anyone is lazy, but wants the functionality and insists on open source….check out https://opengarage.io/ ($50) which offers similar functionality. I switched to a MYQ door opener which made the opengarage need obsolete, but I’ve been happy with MYQ - however it does require cloud access.

Meross > MyQ garage door opener
I switched to opengarage.io - after trying a few garage door automation devices that utilized door sensors.

Matter 1.1 release – Enhancements for developers and devices
I recently got some Matter-capable IoT lightbulbs to try, and I am not impressed. They seemed to have all the same problems I've experienced with previous IoT products (connectivity issues, state de-sync between device and "edge router", firmware updates take ~10 minutes per device).
Then there are problems specific to Apple's IoT stack - like how it's impossible to set an RGB capable light to a ~specific~ white color temperature. Instead you get a shade picker and you have to guess what the color temperature is.
The best IoT experience I've had is with OpenGarage[1] using regular old WiFi, but overall I'd still never rely on IoT products for anything critical.

Garage Door openers... can you use a wireless sensor instead of the cabled one?
I got a opengarage thing instead. No door sensor. Uses ultrasonic sensor to see if the door is open or closed. All one piece, hardwired to power. It's been rock solid.
