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.

    Ditto here. I spent even less - a Wemos D1 mini and a relay, all housed snugly in a 3D printed case.

    Has worked flawlessly for years now.

    All I can say is, thank the gods for esphome and Home Assistant.
