| MyQ | Works Cloud | Repeatedly breaks on API changes; fixed in dev branchSaved copyIt’s fixed, but not released yet. Download the myq folder from the dev branch of HA and drop it in your custom components folder; then restart. That will fix it without you needing to wait until the next HA release. For some insight to others seeing this, this keeps happening because the dependency that provides myq api access (pymyq) is an unauthorized api client. Myq doesn’t go out of their way to block it yet, but they only support the current version of their official apps. It’s always been a hack to provide this access, and it’s because myq is cheap, or greedy or both.

| wink | Partly works | Partly in Home Open/close only doors appeared as covers stuck at 1% | Garage support added later; set_position needed at the timeSaved copy@boojew - just to clarify: are both cover.right_garage_door and cover.left_garage_door available in HomeKit as window coverings? Or just the MyQ that's in HA via Wink? The first two (both with `supported_features: 3`) should _not_ be available in HomeKit; but the MyQ will be, since it appears to (incorrectly) report that it supports `set_cover_position`. That's an issue with the Wink cover implementation though, since it shouldn't allow covers to report those features if they don't have them (or maybe its a MyQ issue, who knows what it's reporting to Wink). In any event, my upcoming PR will … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #13782 · 2018-04 |
| Homebridge | Partly works Cloud | Works in Home | Mixed: one user had no issues via Homebridge, original poster said never consistentSaved copySorry - no help as I’m currently running a Chamberlain/ MY-Q as well. Zero issues so far running via homebridge. Do you mind sharing what failed with yours? Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2022-01 |
| homekit_controller | Partly works Local | Broken in Home Garage door stopped appearing in Home through the bridge | Works in HA; bridge exposure intermittent after 2022.8.3Saved copyThe problem After updating to 2022.8.3, my MyQ garage door stopped being exposed to homekit via hass bridge. I have MyQ connected via homekit controller and the garage door shows fine and functions fine inside home assistant. Figured I’d report this since I noticed there were 2 pull requests impacting homekit in this update. Tried powering down MyQ and homekit bridge, reloaded homekit controller, reloaded hass bridge integration, and finally restarted home assistant. No change. Verfied that cover.garage_door shows in the hass bridge and is not excluded. It’s just not publishing out to … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #76556 · 2022-08 |
| Not named | Not working Cloud | Listed among brands hostile to local APIsSaved copyAvoid: Eufy, Wyze, Wemo, MyQ, Blink/Ring. All brands with privacy issues or hostile to local APIs / integration. Would also recommend ideally avoiding anything that relies on IFTTT, Alexa, or Google for integration.

| Not named | Not working Cloud | Chamberlain deliberately broke API for HA and Homebridge usersSaved copyAll these responses and yet none of them address the root issue. Chamberlain deliberately broke their API for unofficial third party consumers (HomeAssistant / HomeBridge). Their response so far implies it was deliberate. Ratgdo gets around the issue and provides a cloud-free integration with the opener (no pinging every 10 seconds).

| MyQ | Not working Cloud | Cloud API shutdown; users avoiding brandSaved copySince Chaimberlan / LiftMaster went out of their way to screw their customers, they are a hard pass. On the other hand Genie made sure they have an adapter to allow you to use whatever YOU want to connect to their garage door, so they have my support. https://store.geniecompany.com/products/series-iii-dry-contact-adapter-switch Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2023-12 | |
| MyQ | Not working Cloud | MyQ cut off third-party cloud access; ratgdo recommended insteadSaved copyMyQ drew their line in the sand. Get yourself a RATGDO and never look back. Got it integrated in HA within minutes of opening the package. It’s also very simple to create automations to open/close garage when leaving/arriving home.

| Not named | Won’t be supported Cloud | API locked down by maker; users bypass with RATGDOSaved copyMyQ sucks. Shame on them for locking down their API. I just bypassed mine last year with a RATGDO clone. Would recommend. Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2025-11 | |
| MyQ | Won’t be supported Cloud | Cited as the garage door brand that blocked HASaved copyYeah I can't believe Tesla is on that list which has five integrations in core, and not the other auto brands which have had to be removed. The garage door your thinking of is Chamberlain MyQ. Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2026-03 |

In ReReHome
Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
