MyQ's horrible take on open access to their devices

I built an opener with an ESP8266. Cost five bucks, took a couple hours, no cloud, no drama. Thanks to Home Assistant and Homekit integration, anyone in the household can use it effortlessly.

was it ratgdo by chance?

40 bucks, HA, and about half an hour for me to no-cloud smartify two chamberlain MyQ openers.

This looks like what I want. I’m confused though: what is the radio? WiFi? Zigbee?

Yeah sorry, it's Wi-Fi. It talks to an mqtt broker and that's how home assistant sees it. or anything else that also talks mqtt.
