Chamberlain MyQ Internet GatewayWorks CloudRepeatedly breaks on API changes; fixed in dev branch
Saved copy
It’s fixed, but not released yet. Download the myq folder from the dev branch of HA and drop it in your custom components folder; then restart. That will fix it without you needing to wait until the next HA release. For some insight to others seeing this, this keeps happening because the dependency that provides myq api access (pymyq) is an unauthorized api client. Myq doesn’t go out of their way to block it yet, but they only support the current version of their official apps. It’s always been a hack to provide this access, and it’s because myq is cheap, or greedy or both. Running a public …

Chamberlain / LiftMaster MyQNot working CloudCloud API shutdown; users avoiding brand
Saved copy
Since Chaimberlan / LiftMaster went out of their way to screw their customers, they are a hard pass. On the other hand Genie made sure they have an adapter to allow you to use whatever YOU want to connect to their garage door, so they have my support. https://store.geniecompany.com/products/series-iii-dry-contact-adapter-switch

Ecobee - I’ve heard that you can integrate it through HomeKit. Liftmaster - look into ratgdo. I don’t know much about your specific model but ratgdo may be an option. Arlo - sorry, no clue!

MyQ garage door openersNot working CloudAPI change/blocked third party access stopped working with HA
Saved copy
I used to think that local control wasn't a big deal, then I had things change their programming interfaces, stop working with HA... My Garage Doors, Tuya (changed API, but is working again, for now), Nest, Google devices... Since then... I've invested in Zigbee and running everything through Zigbee2MQTT (as it exposes more functionality from each device), and now I'm not so affected by things vendors changing things.

Or does anything for any reason. Charges for API access, blocks third party access altogether (ahem, MyQ), etc

MyQ garage openerNot working CloudMyQ cut off third-party cloud access; ratgdo recommended instead
Saved copy
MyQ drew their line in the sand. Get yourself a RATGDO and never look back. Got it integrated in HA within minutes of opening the package. It’s also very simple to create automations to open/close garage when leaving/arriving home.

Chamberlain MyQ garage openerWon’t be supported CloudCited as the garage door brand that blocked HA
Saved copy
Yeah I can't believe Tesla is on that list which has five integrations in core, and not the other auto brands which have had to be removed. The garage door your thinking of is Chamberlain MyQ.

LiftMaster MyQ garage openerWon’t be supported CloudChamberlain killed third-party access; use ratgdo instead
Saved copy
MyQ, it's nice because it has two cameras integrated (and a 360-deg led light, and belt drive), but that's it (and I haven't looked into if it can be integrated to HA yet). Hate to break it to you, but Chamberlain explicitly killed this functionality, you can only use their app basically. Look into ratgdo or his competitors, which hooks right into the myq and essentially gives you HA control back. Also if this a fresh setup, try not to buy anything cloud reliant. Many of us made the mistake of starting off with these kinds of devices and regretted it later, spending more money to cloud cut as …

MyQ garage openerWon’t be supported CloudPaid subscription for third-party integration; ratgdo suggested as local alternative
Saved copy
Ratgdo + Tesla + Home Assistant as MyQ Alternative. I spent countless hours trying to resolve this but I am at my wit's end. There is so much adversity in these forums about MyQ charging for integration and I don't disagree but so far the one month trial subscription I got for MyQ Tesla integration has been the most reliable and flawless solution so far. Hear me out! MyQ opens the garage when Tesla arrives and is within a few feet, and it closes when leaving just a few feet away, while I can still see the garage. So to me this integration is great. I am leasing my Tesla for 3 years so buying …

MyQ garage openersWon’t be supported CloudCTO confirmed intentional restriction of third-party access
Saved copy
Officially confirms the move was intentional (this was obvious but still). Dan Phillips, CTO of Chamberlain, is a fucking idiot. No surprises here. It makes me laugh though, thinking about the programmer (or maybe even entire team) they had tasked with preventing third-party access attempting to come up with solutions. For literal months the best they could muster was randomly changing request header requirements that the Python libraries didn’t use or restricting certain user agents or 429 errors. What kind of amateurs are they hiring over there? While truly blocking API access from a …
