secplus VS ratgdo

For Chamberlain brands [0] there is some research that shows that their rolling code system (Security+ and Security+ 2.0) is quite easy to decode/decrypt [1]. This feature is supported in the flipper firmware, but is restricted (you can't create a custom remote, only clone is supported) without custom firmware. However, I'm sure you could decode a raw capture file if needed in a pinch.

A gentle reminder that the Security+ and Security+ 2.0 RF protocols have been reverse engineered (https://github.com/argilo/secplus). While they are not the most secure thing in the world, you can build a custom RF transmitter (remote) that is network connected.

Having done some research into Chamberlain's products, I don't recommend anyone to use them if they have the choice.

This is not an attempt to break the RF Security+ encryption that this, and other garage doors utilize. That has already happened. https://github.com/argilo/secplus

How does this compare to a ratgdo? https://paulwieland.github.io/ratgdo/

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.

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

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...]

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.
