Seems that the Home Assistant user base, as determined by Chamberlain, is relatively small. To hardware/software hackers this type of vendor pull-out/lock-out should always be expected. However, since the end user has physical access to the device thinks like ratgdo[1] will always be an option. While the app integration is nice, garage doors still seem to be one of those things that just needs to work in proximity and a smart phone app and alarm.com / amazon integration are superfluous add-ons. I bought mine from Costco for the simple reason that I could return it if broke. [1] https://paulwieland.github.io/ratgdo/ https://paulwieland.github.io/ratgdo/

Thank you, thank you, thank you. The ratdgo has open source firmware that implements the encrypted serial communications needed to control and get status from Chamberlain / Liftmaster garage doors (without needing the myQ hub). > It works with virtually any residential Chamberlain or Liftmaster manufactured garage door opener and also offers basic support for other brands which use dry contacts to control the door. > It can control the door and report back the actual status of the door (closed, opening, open, closing). For Security + 2.0 door openers, the obstruction sensors, light, wireless lockout and even motion sensing are also integrated.
