Man, was doing some light investigation around smart garage door openers, as might consider replacing our old openers when getting insulated doors... and see that Chamberlain are still raging assholes. Sheesh. Probably eventually do genie wall mounts... want something I can without too much fuss get integrated into HA.

@jfro I have had a really good experience with this RATGDO device: https://paulwieland.github.io/ratgdo/

I had a MyQ/Chamberlain opener at one point but when they closed their API I got the RATGDO. This thing integrates seamlessly into HA and gave more control and info than MyQ ever did.

It might take some research because I think I remember hearing the garage door companies might have tried to change their systems to prevent a middle man device like RATGDO from working.

@jshusky problem is they broke it for I assume newer openers or maybe software updated ones this past December. I may still find use of it for a different opener tho as it sounds like it can do others.

@jfro I’ve had good luck with my meross homekit controller, but I’m not using it through HA so unsure how well that would work.

@jafo yeah I’ll definitely explore those options if I replace our openers, just can’t be the most common chamberlain/lift master is all. Maybe genie

@jfro Get the dumbest possible garage door you can and an OpenGarage. Then flash ESPHome onto it.

@KZ4LN yeah got dumb ones now and that’s a possibility, but would love something that isn’t archaic and ideally side mount. Options are slim heh.
