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?

Smart garage door controller is no longer smart
ratgdo [https://paulwieland.github.io/ratgdo/] already exists and works great.

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.

Home Assistant blocked from integrating with Garage Door opener API
ratgdo looks really nice! I've been controlling my garage door via dry contact on my Elk security system [1] and monitoring the door status via a separate rolling door reed sensor. [2] But from following the ratgdo link, I learned that my "Security+ 1.0" garage door opener has a RS-232 interface with a protocol that will tell you about door status and obstructions. That's better!
I just clicked the buy link on the ratgdo thing to support the nice, well-documented open-source [3] project. In truth though I have the right hardware sitting around here already, so I might just use that depending on how long the "back ordered" status lasts...
[1] There's a Home Assistant integration for the Elk M1 Gold with some Python library; I also have my own WIP Rust library for interacting with it here: <https://github.com/scottlamb/elkm1>
[2] something like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Gebildet-Security-Rolling-Magnetic-Ap...
[3] docs at <https://paulwieland.github.io/ratgdo/> but the actual code is in a separate repo at <https://github.com/ratgdo/esphome-ratgdo>

I made a home security system, powered by a Raspberry Pi 3
I own one. It's good but not perfect. Some complaints:
* The protocol has a lot of oddities. E.g. it sends out spurious "fully armed" messages when it's actually in the process of arming [1] so a good integration has to debounce these. (The one built into Home Assistant doesn't, last I checked. It just reports weird states. iirc it will even say "arming" long after the panel is fully armed.) The command to disarm remotely only works if the user whose code is supplied is configured in a particular way. (Can't find the reference for this right now.)
* The remote programming tool is a flaky VB.NET app. The protocol for this part isn't documented, although I've reverse-engineered part of it.
fwiw, I have a work-in-progress Rust crate for talking with the Elk. It can be used as an alternate Home Assistant integration via MQTT. [2]
I can definitely see the appeal of rolling your own. One problem though is that I think when talking to an alarm company, the panel is supposed to be certified in some way, which would be a significant barrier for a hobbyist design.
