Ahh yes, myQ; the service that is randomly up and down when you need it the most.
I had a Chamberlain myQ garage door opener and I hated it. I hated everything about it. It was slow, unreliable, the button doesn’t use a simple open/close contact for triggering the door (so you can’t easily DIY a solution with a relay board); and it just didn’t work half the time because “the cloud!”
$129 for 3 years? For what? For < 10 API requests per day? That’s insane.
Don’t most modern cars (the type that have CarPlay in them) also have programmable garage door buttons on the rear-view mirror?

Here’s the other fucking shoe dropping guys: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/11/chamberlain-blocks-smart-garage-door-opener-from-working-with-smart-homes/
For my Honda Accord you needed to buy a dealer installed addon(called home link IIRC) to get the garage door buttons.
Home Assistant works pretty well with Android Auto. If I had a garage door I’d connect it to HA with esphome and access it that way.
