Hopefully this fits here? Its self hosted, but not quite what the usual self hosted post would be. I’ve not seen any real reviews of these, so I figured I’d post

    I don’t know about him, but I really don’t want to be screwing around replacing my openers

      Most openers have a dumb switch interface. A simple close-to-change circuit - I’ve never had one that wasn’t that way. If MyQ is so complicated (serial interface!?) then it needs to go anyway.

        Right, but the opener is already there and installed. Plus, it does give you all the information and control over that interface. Buying a ratgdo for $30 and adding it into your Liftmaster opener is still a better situation than a dumb opener and a dumb switch. The dumb switch doesn’t give you open/closed/stopped status, lights, etc.

        If I were to buy a new opener, I would probably get a liftmaster + ratgdo again anyway

        I think the newer liftmasters are wireless. The old push button wires are just power for the wireless remote.
