Hi Everyone, this myQ outage caused a sudden influx of orders for ratgdo which I wasn’t expecting and now I’m out of stock.
I’m replenishing as soon as I can, hopefully 2-3 week lead time. I’m also stocking more than I have in the past. Thanks for your support and patience, and big thanks to @bdraco for spreading the word!
So I’m still on 2023.8.3 and MyQ is working fine for me. I can open and close both of my garage doors and I get status when I control them from the remotes or wall button. I just confirmed this a couple minutes ago.

What the hell does Liftmaster hope to achieve with this other than annoying their customers? Because of corporate BS they can never hope to stay ahead of us for long.
Honestly, it’s still available on Amazon, and it’s a MUCH better choice as it doesn’t require any wiring. Further, since it’s not reliant on the cloud there’s nothing to be broken.
You pair it to your garage door opener, and it is discoverable in HA using the HomeKit Bridge integration.
SOME of the newer Garage door openers already have HomeKit built into them, especially if they are WiFi all by themselves. Check your manual.
My opener was “MyQ compatible”, but required an external accessory to make it work. So I bought that for $29, then I realized there was a more expensive one that was HomeKit, so I would have local control. No more cloud delay, no more randomly going offline, none of that crap.
This is what you will need if your opener does not have HomeKit support built-in: https://amzn.to/44PcFdz
Thanks so much ! At $ 216 on Amazon, I’m going to wait and see if a HA solution comes. I see so many posts in GitHub, with some contradicting other. Some blame MyQ for deliberately blocking HA and other say that this not deliberate at all and that a solution comes soon.
I have tried all the SSH instructions but none work for me, so wait and see for the time being.
Also not working in HA for me. Recently rebooted and the problem started. I have not implemented the fix. I am on the west coast if region matters.
