I recently moved away from MyQ to local control of my garage door and I've been loving it. I stumbled across the linked issue where MyQ shit the bed for roughly 3 days and it just confirms to me that the extra effort to move away from a cloud service was worth it. I'm down to just one last cloud service for something inside my house. My mind is pretty much made up that if I can't accomplish it locally, I won't do/use it.
FWIW i use myQ locally with no issues. I use the myq “homekit bridge” to integrate with home assistant locally.
That’s interesting, I don’t think that was an option back when I was using MyQ. I guess that’s why Matter would be such a big improvement for things.
First myq was completely open to integrate, then I believe they locked it down then they opened it up to homekit a year or two later.
I won’t buy one out of principle. Any product or company that was a pain to work with during my days as a control4 integrator is blacklisted from my home. I won’t do app-based setups, either.
