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.

GARAGINATOR: a HomeKit Compatible Smart Garage Door Opener
How does this compare to a ratgdo? https://paulwieland.github.io/ratgdo/
- Researcher has developed, at a cost of less than one dollar, a wireless light switch that runs without batteries, can be installed anywhere on a wall and could reduce the cost of wiring a house by as much as 50%

Meross MSG200HK + 3 accessories install experience: MyQ user’s perspective
But if you don't want all the wires for a MyQ replacement, I would look at the Ratgdo. It is also cheaper. If you have the skills, you can even solder it to the Opener's board along with powering it and have it hidden inside the opener.

Garage Door Opener - LOCAL only?
https://paulwieland.github.io/ratgdo/ - With the ESPHome firmware you can control this from a web interface and not need a hub or anything.

Smart garage door controller is no longer smart
ratgdo [https://paulwieland.github.io/ratgdo/] already exists and works great.
For the current roadblock, it appears it was due to cloudflare bot protection [https://community.home-assistant.io/t/the-current-state-of-m...]

Home Assistant 2023.11
Re: MyQ, check out ratgdo [1]. It's a lovely little hardware project that wires into Chamberlain/Liftmaster controllers and provides a local WiFi-only interface. It integrates perfectly with HA. It's a shame Chamberlain discontinued their homekit bridge, because it shouldn't be necessary to use a cloud integration to trigger a garage door.
