LiftMaster/Chamberlain

Get a ratgdo. It’s a little ESP8266-powered board that connects to the garage door opener and lets you open/close it and turn the light on and off, and reports the status of the door (opening, open, closing, closed) and obstruction sensor status via MQTT, entirely locally. I installed one on my LiftMaster garage door opener (an old version with no smart features) and it works well! I zip tied mine inside the plastic cover that goes over the light bulb, as per the developer’s recommendation.

They have a beta firmware for HomeKit integration too, to directly control it from Apple devices if you don’t want to run something like Home Assistant with an MQTT broker.

“ratgdo” stands for “rage against the garage door opener” :D
