MyQ Solutions

Solutions abound to deal with the unreliable MyQ system. I have a MyQ hub installed for at least 5 years and it has been reasonably reliable. Lately, as many have found, the MyQ service has become increasingly unreliable.
I have already experimented with a simple ESP01 relay module and that does work. I have a tilt sensor which I will pair with another ESP 8266 device to do the door open/close status and I suppose an automation can be configured to send notifications triggered on the tilt sensor status. The visual/audible warning from the MyQ hub is a nice feature but that would require some more hardware to accomplish.
Has anyone duplicated the features of the MyQ hub or integrated MyQ devices? Perhaps not worth the effort.
