Why even buy a product like this anyway? Aren't there plenty of "dumb" smart garage door openers? Aren't there plenty of great stand alone garage door openers

Aren't there plenty of great stand alone garage door openers that you can wire a smart relay or whatever into?
From what I can see there are plenty of "wifi garage door adaptor" options and everything looks to have pretty standard wiring, it's only not "plug and play" cause it's bare wires rather than plugs but it's essentially the same.
- rootusrootus 3y ago> Why even buy a product like this anyway? It's more like 'why not?'. It's still a dumb opener with a physical button and wireless remotes, and all the same third-party tricks work the same. A nice thing about tight integration is that you don't need a bunch of extra wiring and a kludge to figure out door status. Minor annoyance, but real. In any case, I'd wager a fair number of the people complaining about this don't even have the newer 'smart' openers, they have the original MyQ Internet Gateway or the newer MyQ Home Bridge. Liftmasters have been a very popular opener for decades.
