The Ars comments recommend Ratgo and Messo. Ratgo for a WiFi board that connects directly to the garage doors electrical and Messo is another cheap HomeKit option from Amazon.

- drapermache 3y agoHave those comments talked about their compatibility with home assistant? I'm done with Chamberlin and their dumb app. I want a one-stop app to control all of my IoT devices, and I don't want it locked into an ecosystem.
- e28eta 3y agoI see ratgdo mentioned a lot in home-assistant-related places. I’m not sure about the other. I don’t have mqtt setup on my home assistant (yet?), which the primary ratgdo firmware relies on, but there’s also an esphome-based firmware that should work for me. edit: one of those mentions is https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2023/11/06/removal-of-myq-integration/ https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2023/11/06/removal-of-myq...
- darknavi 3y agoRatgo supports ESPHome so it supports Home Assistant!
- wil421 3y agoNot sure. I’m about done with Apple Home and once I have a free weekend I’ll convert everything to Home Assistant. Tired of Apple Home automation misses with no logs. My wife’s phone won’t connect to our Home and the only solution is to rebuild your Apple Home from scratch.
- anonomousename 3y agoIf you make the switch to home assistant, you can mirror devices you want to control frequently with the HomeKit integration. It’ll be like nothing changed, expect for increased stability and interoperability. You can also add Google Home and Alexa afaik
