This posts details how I ditched Liftmaster MyQ and switched to a much better, completely selfhosted and local way of controlling my garage door with OpenGarage, and the problems I ran into with both solutions, and how I overcame them. MyQ In my garage I have a Chamberlain Liftmaster Garage

Hopefully this fits here? Its self hosted, but not quite what the usual self hosted post would be. I’ve not seen any real reviews of these, so I figured I’d post

    Right, but the opener is already there and installed. Plus, it does give you all the information and control over that interface. Buying a ratgdo for $30 and adding it into your Liftmaster opener is still a better situation than a dumb opener and a dumb switch. The dumb switch doesn’t give you open/closed/stopped status, lights, etc.

    If I were to buy a new opener, I would probably get a liftmaster + ratgdo again anyway

      The cheap-as-dirt meross does, it has an open/closed sensor.
