home-assistant.io VS OpenGarage-Firmware

> What's the blocker here?

It's an open source project. Stuff generally gets worked on by people who care about features. You seem to care about this. https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.io

As the next step the content of the image should be written to zvol. Might help: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.io/issues/25294

I found a very simple solution for this here:

Thanks for digging into this! Based on your response and the response from u/antirobot, it appears neither the ESPHome server nor the embedded client support wsMQTT (makes sense because I was looking in vain for an option to specify the connection type). It appears HA only recently added support for wsMQTT, so I'm not too surprised.

The LIFX doc update is here: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.io/pull/22383

If coding isn't your thing, you can contribute to the Home Assistant Docs and help make tutorials and documentation more accessible. Make sure you read the contribution guidelines for understanding their contribution process. This team is super great to work with; I've already made a few contributions to their docs.

Just came across this mention of zeroconf fix in HA HomeKit bridge, might be helpful.

If you find any issues with the documentation, you can comment on the PR at https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.io/pull/15555

Personally I went with OpenGarage https://opengarage.io/. I have been using OpenGarage for 3+ years now. It has been amazing.

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.

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

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.

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.
