Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Switch off bad TV settings
Another neat idea is to connect all “smart” equipment to an isolated vlan and separate wifi that can still be seen by your normal network devices.
For example if your wifi was called “Home”, an additional “Home-IoT” is for every device.
The IoT devices can then be set to not sniff your network, or even connect out if you want.
A good example of this is in this EdgeRouter setup guide, which is a pretty decent guide on how to plan a home network for more than just basic home browsing.

Home Assistant blocked from integrating with Garage Door opener API
One extra step I’ve learned to follow is to verify if needed, could the hardware be permanently redirected to a local server, and worst case reflagged with a different firmware or it can be redirected to remain local. The latter is sometimes easier if it’s a Tuya based device, which a lot of these unknown devices are.

One of the main things these “smart” devices do is use your internet connection. It’s wise to create a dedicated _IoT suffixed wifi which can’t access your network or devices, but at the same time your other devices can ping them.
How?
This is a pretty solid guide of a home network setup here. It can be running a $50 EdgeRouter X or translated to other devices.

The NSA and CIA Use Ad Blockers Because Online Advertising Is So Dangerous
I followed this guy on Youtube and this guide on github to set up an Edge Router X. It was cheap and does all this, but was harder than I thought it would be to set up, even with a video guide.

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.

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.

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.
