Or at least a generic garage door opener integration.
For anyone looking for a workaround, you can use the Samsung Smartthings app and integrate Nexx Home with it. You do not need to purchase a Smartthings hub.
I use IFTTT webhook. You can integrate with Lovelace tap action to open/close garage door.
Here is a portion of my Lovelace Floorplan:
- type: conditional
conditions:
- entity: binary_sensor.garage_door_sensor_contact
state: 'off'
elements:
- type: state-icon
entity: binary_sensor.garage_door_sensor_contact
icon: 'mdi:garage-variant'
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: ifttt.trigger
service_data:
event: garage_open_event
confirmation:
text: Open Garage? Are you Sure?
style:
top: 92%
left: 42%
transform: 'translate(-50%, -50%) scale(2,2) rotate(180deg)'
'--paper-item-icon-active-color': limegreen
'--paper-item-icon-color': limegreen

Add NEXX as service on your IFTTT account. Then create your own applet.
One thing to note: NEXX sends a toggle signal each time you pick open or close. It’s not smart enough to send specific signal.
If you have not purchased any opener yet, I would recommend looking into one of the Tasmota solutions or Sonoff.
MyQ is another option (I haven’t used it personally). People are saying that they have used it without the subscription fee.
Thanks @tom4895. I would prefer not to use IFTTT if possible. Adding it through Samsung SmartThings is a workaround that I’ve enjoyed.
It also allows me to get my TP-link Kasa smart plugs/outlets in there without the poor reliability of the Kasa integration as it stands.
Anyone else having issues with Nexx and Smartthings? I deleted the Nexx device in Smartthings, I go to re-add it, everything looks good but it doesn’t actually add the device. Wondering if the integration is currently broken?
The SmartThings integration is janky. Sometimes if HASS does not shut down correctly it will lose its ability to sync. I have removed and re-added the SmartThings integration and it gets things up and running again.
I ended up fixing this by creating a BRAND NEW Smartthings account. My best guess, my old account was broken somehow, probably from the days of having 2 mobile apps. Not only was NEXX not working on the old account, but my SAMSUNG TV couldn’t be controlled either. The new account fixed both issues.
I just got rid of SmartThings. I would like a direct cloud-to-cloud integration with HA if possible.
