myQ

I recently (a couple months ago) set up 2 MyQ openers with homebridge and no subscription or hub was required. They have had zero issues responding in HomeKit.

I had to do this for the chamberlain myq garage opener. Way better though homebridge. That was in my old house and I’ve had no problems running the Meross opener directly through homekit.

I run homebridge and the the myq plug-in and it works flawlessly on my 2 hubs and 3 doors with HomeKit.

… one has me stumped as every tweak or change or setting I’ve found is done. Up to last year, I used HOOBS on a RP for many things including homebridge-myq. It was just simpler at the time and myQ worked great there and my garage door always showed up in CarPlay when I got close to home. I’ve since did a install of Homebridge on my Synology and started from scratch with plugins. Everything works great, including homebridge-myQ. But it refuses to show in CarPlay. There’s conflicting solutions, so I’ve tried lots, and I leave weeks in between each. Non-exhaustive list of the most common solutions …

There's a thread on Github and the author of myq-homebridge has updated the plugin and it's working again.

I have two openers and an older MyQ gateway (not native HK). It all works perfectly with Homebridge+MyQ plugin / Home app. Much better than the native MyQ app.

Pull the trigger. The garage opening and closing is instant with it and setup could not have been any easier. Chamberlain instructs you to mount the hub on the ceiling two feet from the actual opener but I opted to mount mine to the wall and have had zero issues in daily use for about two weeks. I think they tell you that just so the warning LED is more visible to anyone who might be in/near the garage when it's closing.

I was always relatively happy with my myQ “smart hub” with the Homebridge plugin (occasional issues are understandable imho) but I recently moved to a new house and was gutted the existing openers weren’t compatible. Well a couple days ago I accidentally discovered their new hub and noticed it added support for a lot of other openers, including mine! Since I literally considered buying a whole new garage door opener 😵 this was a happy discovery. Just in case someone else out there is having the same frustration… Eg …

I'm using homebridge-myq to connect to my myQ garage door opener and unfortunately the myQ app doesn't have native functionality to notify when the garage door has been left open either for a certain period of time or after all occupants have left the house. Can I create this functionality with Homebridge somehow?

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.

I am tired with the MyQ and Homekit plugin. I bought the Meross Garage openner and it works with Homekit reliably

Not customized just Garage Open, Garage Closed notifications . Mine does this with a $20 MyQ garage opener and HomeBridge.

Had it on a mac mini for a year oh so and now on a rPi for 87 days as of tonight. Rock solid. No info on the nest but i also am using the myQ app for the garage door opener and it alerts me to to the door opening or closing within a second every time.

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 …

With MyQ there is the hub that communicates with the sensors, and then there is the wifi bridge (unfortunately named MyQ home bridge). The MyQ Home Bridge can be replaced by HomeBridge and the MyQ plugin. Which is my current setup :D

Switch to the MyQ plugin. I discontinued the chamberlain plugin, and the MyQ one works better.

MyQ has a retrofit kit that I used on my Genie. Apparently works on any opener made after ‘92. Homebridge integration is easy and wireless.

isn't there a newer better liftmaster homebridge plugin? i think the chamberlain one is deprecated. https://github.com/luisiam/homebridge-liftmaster2 I recently setup a myq smart hub for my old craftsman opener and used homebridge to get it to work.

I know nothing about Meros but I can tell you MyQ/Chamberlain is the most frustrating, least stable, and most likely to give “No Response” HomeKit/Homebridge device I’ve ever worked with. If it had not come pre-installed in my house I would definitely use something else.

While sitting outside a cafe on the other side of the country I get a HomeKit notification that my garage door is opening. Fortunately I was near my phone and saw the notification right away, so I immediately close it via Home.app, and then spent the rest of my trip not sleeping well worried it's going to open again for some reason while I'm not paying attention. I'm using a Wifi-enabled Chamberlain garage door connected to MyQ and the Homebridge MyQ plugin (as in, not the "official" MyQ Homekit bridge.) I assume it did actually physically open (MyQ and Homekit said it was open) and it was …

Dump the myQ and buy a Meross opener. Not trying to sound facetious, I suffered myQ for five years with so many issues. Then I bought a Meross opener and it has worked reliably and consistently ever since. Oh and setup made me laugh out loud it was so simple and error free. Just friendly advice coming from a former myQ sufferer. 😀

Bro this is literally the 5th post about myQ being down. If you just did a little more digging you would’ve found the answer. Just revert to 3.4.2 and disable the plug-in for 12 to 24 hours and it should be good. Mine has been back up and running for 4 or 5 days.

Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.

Mine started working as well after downgrading to 3.4.2. Took a few hours though as it was reporting 429 errors after the initial downgrade.

I just had a new Liftmaster 87504 installed, which has an integrated MyQ camera. The camera is a separate WiFi device which joins WiFi individually from the opener's WiFi. Liftmaster has a whole Ring-like subscription model for the camera including cloud storage, etc. I don't want or need the MyQ cloud camera features, but I would like to be able to get an RTSP feed from the camera for HomeKit like I do with all of my other ONVIF and Ring cameras. Has anyone managed to figure out how to either direct-connect to one of these cameras with FFMPEG or access the feed via the MyQ API?

Plug-in update just released. Changes to a random user string to avoid API detection - now working for me.

Yes. MyQ changed their API, plugin owner is working on a fix

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.
