F*ck these assholes. Pardon my language but I can’t hold back. Someone somewhere decided that this was a problem worth solving? You can’t stop it and also say it affects a small number of users. Which one is it? Was it a noisy neighbor problem? I used homebridge for years and now this nonsense. Maybe someone can build an SDR version that simulates the garage door remote? Then these jackasses can’t stop it. Does anyone know how they were able to stop third party use? Certificate pinning to the API?

  Ordered it, thanks. I saw it in the article too. Glad people like this exist.

  I haven’t previously heard about the ratgdo, but I recently did this myself with an ESP8266, relay, garage door remote, and Tasmota for the firmware. It works flawlessly with MQTT/Homeassistant. The individual components (excluding the opener) are < $10.

    You are missing the beauty of the ratdgo. The ratdgo has open source firmware that implements the encrypted serial communications needed to control and get status (open/opening/closed/closing) from Chamberlain / Liftmaster garage doors (without needing the myQ hub).

There's also this, which I have used successfully for a while now with an old opener. https://opensprinkler.com/product/opengarage/ https://opensprinkler.com/product/opengarage/

  +1 for OpenSprinkler! I have their sprinkler controller. Works with Home Assistant, it's awesome. I don't have a garage door, but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate getting this one.
