Switch to the MyQ plugin. I discontinued the chamberlain plugin, and the MyQ one works better.

WorksWorks with Homebridge plugin, occasional issues; new hub supports more openers
Saved copy
I was always relatively happy with my myQ “smart hub” with the Homebridge plugin (occasional issues are understandable imho) but I recently moved to a new house and was gutted the existing openers weren’t compatible. Well a couple days ago I accidentally discovered their new hub and noticed it added support for a lot of other openers, including mine! Since I literally considered buying a whole new garage door opener 😵 this was a happy discovery. Just in case someone else out there is having the same frustration… Eg …

WorksFar more reliable via Homebridge than native HomeKit
Saved copy
I had to do this for the chamberlain myq garage opener. Way better though homebridge. That was in my old house and I’ve had no problems running the Meross opener directly through homekit.

WorksWorks on Synology Homebridge; CarPlay display fixed by enabling Siri Suggestions
Saved copy
… one has me stumped as every tweak or change or setting I’ve found is done. Up to last year, I used HOOBS on a RP for many things including homebridge-myq. It was just simpler at the time and myQ worked great there and my garage door always showed up in CarPlay when I got close to home. I’ve since did a install of Homebridge on my Synology and started from scratch with plugins. Everything works great, including homebridge-myQ. But it refuses to show in CarPlay. There’s conflicting solutions, so I’ve tried lots, and I leave weeks in between each. Non-exhaustive list of the most common solutions …

HomeSeer
homebridge-homeseer4
Partly worksWorks via virtual switch and events mapping its 1/2 values to 255/0
Saved copy
This plugin generally treats all devices as if they were Z-Wave devices. What this means is that it expects HomeSeer to use "standard" Z-Wave values to indicate things like "on" (Value = 255), "off" (value = 0), "Open" (value =255), "closed" (value =0), etc. If you have a device or plugin that uses different values, you can "map" it to Z-Wave using virtual devices and events. I'll illustrate this by example for a Garage Door Opener. Z-Wave and this plugin expect a Garage Door Opener to use the value of 255 to indicate "open" and the value of 0 to indicate "closed". However, I understand that …

Saved copy
Dump the myQ and buy a Meross opener. Not trying to sound facetious, I suffered myQ for five years with so many issues. Then I bought a Meross opener and it has worked reliably and consistently ever since. Oh and setup made me laugh out loud it was so simple and error free. Just friendly advice coming from a former myQ sufferer. 😀

Bro this is literally the 5th post about myQ being down. If you just did a little more digging you would’ve found the answer. Just revert to 3.4.2 and disable the plug-in for 12 to 24 hours and it should be good. Mine has been back up and running for 4 or 5 days.

Homebridge/HOOBS MyQ pluginPartly worksOpens always but close fails; another user has two working fine
Saved copy
I’m always open to options. My issue is specifically with closing via the myQ App, or Hoobs. I can always open the garage. But when I back out and go to close it, the beeps go off and nothing happens. And if I try to close it a couple times I get the error in the myQ app saying to manually close it to reset. I’ve also changed the sensor battery. No luck. I did check hoobs logs once and it didn’t have anything. But I checked just now and saw this. But unsure it is related. 5/30/2020, 9:44:14 AM [Garage] FetchError: request to …

MyQ will be a problem too because they are an evil company and have blocked any API from working with them. You’ll need something like Meross or Ratgdo ( I have used Meross for years)

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
