MyQWorks CloudRepeatedly breaks on API changes; fixed in dev branch
Saved copy
It’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. Running a public …

Open/close only doors appeared as covers stuck at 1%
Garage support added later; set_position needed at the time
Saved 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 …

Sorry - 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?

Garage door stopped appearing in Home through the bridge
Works in HA; bridge exposure intermittent after 2022.8.3
Saved copy
The 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 …

Avoid: 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. Buy: Zigbee/Zwave/Matter, Shelly, Lutron, Tradfri, Hue

Not namedNot working CloudChamberlain deliberately broke API for HA and Homebridge users
Saved copy
All 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).

MyQNot working CloudCloud API shutdown; users avoiding brand
Saved copy
Since 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

MyQNot working CloudMyQ cut off third-party cloud access; ratgdo recommended instead
Saved copy
MyQ 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.

MyQ sucks. Shame on them for locking down their API. I just bypassed mine last year with a RATGDO clone. Would recommend.

Yeah 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.

Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.

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.
