Rage Against the Garage Door Opener (Ratgdo)
- transpute 3y agohttps://www.theverge.com/23949612/chamberlain-myq-smart-garage-door-controller-homebridge-integrations https://www.theverge.com/23949612/chamberlain-myq-smart-gara... > for users of Chamberlain and Liftmaster openers. This $30 hardware device allows you to control the door opener locally and integrate it with Home Assistant via a local API, which in turn opens access to other platforms such as Apple HomeKit and Amazon Alexa. Wieland explained to me that he engineered a device that can speak directly to Chamberlain’s Security Plus 2.0 openers .. The moral for smart home users, as Schoutsen sums up neatly in his blog post, is: “Buy products that work locally and won’t stop functioning when management wants an additional revenue stream.” ratgdo is not a cloud device and does not require a subscription service. The firmware is open source and free for anyone to use.
