Like many users on here, I’ve had problems with the MyQ integration breaking on a regular basis. It surely appears to be caused by MyQ constantly changing its API, possibly with the intent of breaking third-party integrations like that used by HA. (Some people say this is done to protect their subscription revenue, but I can’t imagine that many people are paying the subscription to just get IFTTT support. It’s a lot of work and risk just to frustrate free integrations. But I digress…)
I am looking at a potential workaround that doesn’t require a seemingly expert piece of hardware (e.g., Konnected, as suggested by @Bill_Sweeney) or another cloud polling device. In particular, there are these Insignia Wi-Fi Garage Door Controllers for Apple HomeKit (Model:NS-CH1XGO8) from Best Buy that provide a simple bridge between your garage hardwired button and your HomeKit hub. They don’t get the best of reviews, but they’re not that bad either. And I think a lot of the frustrations people are having are caused by weak wifi or user error.
But, it’s worth a shot trying these: you can pick up used or refurbished ones cheap on eBay. I just bought 2 for a total of $30 ($15 each), including shipping.
I’m wondering if anyone has integrated these using the HomeKit Controller integration?
Frankly, I don’t need them to work with HA; I mainly use HA as a HomeKit bridge (I feel its better than HomeBridge), so I integrate HomeKit devices directly into HomeKit. But, that said, I still might want to run it through HA for certain reasons.
Either way, if you’re frustrated with a MyQ hub that’s added onto your garage door, these cheap devices might do the trick, even if you aren’t an Apple HomeKit user. Just use the HA Controller.
