- Chamberlain blocks smart garage door opener from working with smart homes
- 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.

Relay that appear as a lock
You could potentially use the requisite Shelly for your use case and install this firmware on it to expose it to HomeKit as a lock
-
Matter? Or at least HomeKit & Alexa?
As far as I know you can flash a software on the relays: https://github.com/mongoose-os-apps/shelly-homekit And make them homekit compatible. Here is the video: https://youtu.be/BZc-kp4dDRw Just make sure to use correct download for your device

Is the Brilliant tech dimmer the only HomeKit compatible dimmer that allows you to control smart bulbs?
Shelly Firmware
-
Add on HomeKit garage door opener. (Besides meeross)
Shelly one flashed with HomeKit. So easy cheap and one of the most reliable HomeKit devices I have. Watch the video https://github.com/mongoose-os-apps/shelly-homekit
-
What type of relay would I need to make this work? I believe it’s 220v 30a
The relay itself doesn’t matter especially given the fact that it’ll be on/off only, so I’d recommend a Shelly Plus 1 flashed with firmware to get it into HomeKit incredibly easily. The contactor doesn’t need to be anything fancy, just needs to be rated appropriately for the load at hand!
-
Using both Smart Bulb and Wall Switch - What are the best options?
I use Shelly relays flashed with firmware (I prefer it over Homebridge) and automations to do this. It keeps the „normal“ look of the lightswitches and won’t cut power to the bulbs. Plus you can configure the different modes for the lightswitches! Check out the link for edge/toggle/etc. 👍🏼

Turn a dumb light switch « smart »?
If your light switch is a 2 gang switch I’d recommend picking up a Shelly 2.5, a Shelly 1 Plus, or Plus 1PM for single switches and flashing them with this firmware.
-
Under Cabinet Lights
Alternatively, a more cost efficient option could be LED strips of your choice paired with a Shelly RGBW2 flashed with firmware.
-
Ismartgate with gate strike and keypad
The only thing I could think of is using something like a Shelly Plus 1 in HomeKit (firmware/Homebridge paired to a strike of the appropriate voltage.
