WorksAutomatic open with CarPlay works well
Saved copy
MyQ. Right now the cars are not inside the garage. I love using it with CarPlay to have the automatic opening without leaving an opener in the car.

WorksWorks over internet even when IoT VLAN blocks local HomeKit traffic
Saved copy
HomeKit devices need to be able to communicate with each other on the LAN, so they need to be in the same VLAN or main LAN. The MyQ plug-in working is because that’s going through the internet, getting from the VLAN back to the Homebridge server in the main LAN. If the IoT VLAN is blocking peer to peer communication, it won’t work to put HomeKit devices in it at all. More specifically, HomeKit uses mDNS, so if you really want, you can configure your router to bridge that service across the VLANs, but it’s really not worth the effort. Just put native HomeKit devices and anything else using …

homebridge-chamberlainWorksMyQ garage door integrates very well with HomeKit via Homebridge on a Pi
Saved copy
Hey there! I actually have a MyQ garage door too installed and found it really “sucky” that we need to pay to have it integrated to google home. MyQ garage door actually integrate very well with homekit (ios)! I use a raspberry pi to make a homebrodge hub and added the MyQ plugin (homebridge-chamberlain v1.0.2). I still haven’t been able to bridge homebridge to google homekit to get a free alternative (I haven’t spent a lot of time on this either honestly), but i really want to be able to control the garage door with google since i just got a google home mini! If anyone has any ideas, please …

Partly worksAPI changes broke plugin for some; others working, setting cloud region fixed login
Saved copy
I have only one bug and it with myQ gateway rather than with HK. It’s when the garage door tries to close by automation in several minutes and I’m interrupting it with entrance sensors. Both myQ app and HomeKit are loosing connection then. To fix this the door needs to be open and closed by manually pressing physical button. Other than this it’s a rock solid experience with my device and HomeKit.

homebridge-chamberlain / Myq2Not workingStopped responding after myQ API change; updated plugin fixed it for some
Saved copy
… issue. I was at the main screen and everything shows as No Response. When I go to the entry way I can see that my motion detectors show No Motion, front door is locked. All rooms work fine until I get to the garage with my two garage door openers showing as no response. I would agree with you that one bugged item will cause everything to show as offline until you change rooms.

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
