Craftsman openers are rebranded Chamberlain. Pretty much the only options are Chamberlain and Genie. Unfortunately, the ratgdo is much more fully featured with the Chamberlain Security+ openers. I have ratgdo on both a liftmaster (Chamberlain) and a non-chamberlain (connected via dry contacts with reed sensors to detect open/closed states). Ratgdo works great in both, but it's *so* good with the Chamberlain, it self calibrates, you can set a specific opening level, control the light, and more.

Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
