MyQ app should work fine. Just not the API integration to MyQ.
- EMIRELADERO 3y agoCouldn't people do some reverse-engineering to figure out the first-party protocol and impersonate the official app in the API integration?
- AJayWalker 3y agoAFAIK yes, but to quote the article (which quotes the maintainer of the MyQ integration, Lash-L [0]), “We are playing a game of cat and mouse with MyQ and right now it looks like the cat is winning” [0] https://github.com/Lash-L https://github.com/Lash-L
- saagarjha 3y agoYes, that's what they've done. The problem is that myQ keeps trying to fingerprint the device to check if the requests are coming from a real app before offering service.
- lostapathy 3y agoThe MyQ app sucks, though. Besides the dark pattern ad-forcing they do, I've also had the thing redraw while I was holding the button to open a door. Which meant the wrong door opened entirely - one that happens to be 20 miles from where I was standing. I have had this happen multiple times, it's ridiculous.
