Since I haven’t seen this mentioned in this thread, I figured I’d share the press release that Chamberlain has issued: Chamberlain Group | A Message About our Decision to Prevent…
Laughable that they think people are better off using IFTTT than the community-created tools.
Has anyone tried with for the LA400? Has Apple Homekit so it should work locally
What a cop-out of a corporate response. Besides Ring and IFTTT, which are completely useless with MyQ garage door openers, I don’t even know who any of their “authorized partners” are. Probably all blackstone entities.
Frankly I give them some credit for saying it bluntly rather than just screwing it up behind the scenes. Or maybe I should say rather than continuing to just screw it up, since they have done it for a long time.
No more Chamberlain products for me. Like they care.
Interested in your progress. Are you documenting anywhere?
In the past I have done some dns pointing to node red to recreate a cloud environment to make a weather station cloud free.
Apple HomeKit is the main one that’s actually useful in Home Assistant but you need to buy a proprietary MyQ homekit bridge to tie the MyQ wifi enabled door opener in to homekit. Basically the bridge talks to homekit (home assistant in this case) and the opener connects to the bridge directly over wifi for control, so you no longer connect to the opener directly. I did that myself and now I have my opener working in Home Assistant via homekit (with Home Assistant acting as the Homekit hub via the HomeKit Device integration), bypassing the cloud. The setup process for the bridge wasn’t great (I posted a summary earlier in this thread about the steps that ended up being required) but now that it’s setup it’s working without any issues. I still get notifications on my phone from the MyQ app when the door opens or closes, but I can’t control it through the MyQ app anymore now that the homekit bridge is in place, has to be controlled through home assistant, which is fine for me.
Apparently those HK bridges were discontinued by Chamberlain last year.
Before this new CTO, it seemed more like they were just changing things, not to screw up these integrations… They were just collateral damage. Now they’re actively hunting these integrations, which IMO, is far more despicable.
I got SSL strip working but only against https against the app, and not mqtts as i’d like. although the app obviously doesn’t trust the http downgrade. So I’ve decompiled the android apk and looking to override that, and recompile it into a dirty apk. just to see the entire handshake and token handoff. But my focus is on the MQTTS side of things. Getting more knowledgable on this though so i’m going to go back to seeing if i can get hamfist ioxy to work. also i have a myq keystore that i’ve hashed and running johntheripper against. which I believe contains the CA. Not really any benefit to having that though. Not trying to do anything to MyQ, just want to MITM my own garage door and they could rekey on a whim. I have a couple ratgdos on the way either way. my efforts are for entertainment. I’ll say the android app is odd. you can see references to the “com.google.android.apps.googleassistant” package alongside ring, ifttt, amazon, and walmart. as if they were going to try to implement it before blackstone bought em. along with some funny comments about "this shows people the walmart ad so they go sign up for it. "
I don’t think there is much Chamberlain could do about it since the ratdgo solution is 100% local. It doesn’t rely on myq which is how Chamberlain could control it. Now it might not work on future chamberlain garage doors, but that’s a problem for the next house I build.
I’d never get my doors to close with those. Too many leaves, birds and bugs flying around here. LOL
I had rather just send them a picture of the receipt where I bought a Geni or another of their competitors. I’ve got a ratgdo coming. if they work, great, if not, I’ve got a good garage door installer I’ll reach out to. LOL
The main problem with that suggestion is that the hardware needed for that was discontinued a year ago. The cheapest available on ebay is $179 right now.
RATGDO costs significantly less. The reviews I’ve seen where it works, it works well. The 2 issues I see with it is that it is not quite compatible with all MyQ openers (but that seems to be increasing with each hardware revision) and production times. I’m still waiting on my order (ordered on the 19th) and it will be the v2.5.
Could you please share the current fix available? Mine has been broken for few days
@CSharpFan anything you can share on your testing? I know it might be temporary but would love a fix while I wait for ratgdo to ship.
It is what it is. I am not happy but it is not a major issue for me. I only have (had 
) one automation which was to turn ON an extra light when the garage door opens. The system’s light goes on anyway so not a big issue, but annoying.
My garage door is quiet. It can barely be heard from inside the house. And I don’t live on my phone for the notifications. So I have mine set to read a notification to my google speakers if either of the doors are opening or closing. Also it clicks the exterior garage lights on if it’s dark out if either of the doors are not closed
Everyone here needs to go leave a negative review of the MyQ app in their app store! Give it one star, and explicity state your complaint! And blast them on social media!
You need to step back and look at the big picture. MyQ did not enable cloudflare bot protect to prevent API access, it was most likely done in response to credential stuffing attacks. These attacks are very common place and their scale far exceeds that of the various home automation communities.
Here is a detailed overview of how Cloudflare’s bot protection works.
My case is completely the opposite. It is one of the most important automations I have. My gate automatically opens when I approach my house using geolocation. It closes when I leave. I have a pedestrian gate as well, which opens when kids arrive from school. Gents notification if gate is left open. If I am walking to house pedestrian gate opens as opposed when I’m driving when the main gate opens. Gate closes when I open my front door after arriving…and more. Nonw works now!
