    Well, I swapped over to ratgdo instead of API access a couple months back, seems I pulled that trigger at the perfect time.

    Fuck them though. It costs them the same whether you’re using the mobile app, or direct API calls, in fact it likely costs less. They are literally just after money.

      I bought 2 of them, on backorder, a few weeks back after the HomeAssistant integration broke yet again. I can’t wait to get them in and get them installed so I can get my automatons working again.

      Also, they are shutting down the public API from my understanding, not the ones that are sold by 3rd parties like Honda and Tesla that will still continue to work to open/close the door. So, they are pretty much going full reddit at this point.

        Dude the swap is amazing. No more beeping and flashing, precise opening/closing percentages, no lag time with api communication, or downtime when the myQ servers go down. It is such an amazing improvement. Night and day to even the official app, even if you wanted to just replicate what it already does.

        The one thing I wish I could do however, is access my camera from home assistant. I didn’t realize it was so locked down when I made my initial purchase, I just thought it would be similar to my ring doorbell. (Another piece of tech I’m planning on replacing, actually.)

          Beeping and flashing is actually a UL safety requirement.

            It’s annoying as fuck, and these doors already have obstruction sensors. I get that it’s a requirement, but it’s still dumb and annoying.
