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

    I use a Meross. Works very well with HomeKit.

    MyQ was always a piece of garbage for me. Damn thing would error out and become non responsive after 5-10 openings, and would require a reboot. Could never figure out the root issue. Tech support was worthless. My hunch is that it doesn’t play nicely with Unifi equipment, or I’m getting interference from industrial sites nearby.

      I have the same issues as you; to make matters worse, it doesn’t like any of the Android phones I have so I have to borrow someone’s iPhone just to hook the damn thing back up.

        Unless you absolutely need MyQ because of a 3rd party integration, I’d really suggest ditching it. The only problem I’ve ever had with the Meross was when my local DNS (AdGuard Home) got flaky — and I can’t really blame that on Meross. Other than that, it’s been rock solid.
