The ratgdo local-only replacement for myQ is fantastically easy to setup (paulwieland.github.io)

I just setup ratgdo on my Chamberlain garage door opener and it was great. Flashing it via Chrome and configuration was easy, Home Assistant picked it up via MQTT immediately, and wiring it up was simple. All around a great experience and well worth the money. I'll keep myQ around for a few days, but if no issues crop up, I'll be kicking it to the curb soon.

I love all the local firmware swaps people are doing these days. I'm waiting on the day I can swap all my Google Homes to be Home Assistant powered. It'll probably (almost certainly) require a hardware swap to an ESP32 but I'll do it anyway as long as it's pretty straightforward.

I'm looking forward to stuff like that as well. I'm no longer buying any HA gear that requires any proprietary crap but it's hard to deny that my self-imposed rule limits my access to great hardware
