Liftmaster hates this one simple trick! Security+ 3.0? HACKED! (OK not really). I had a spare remote and have wired it up to two relays powered by #esphome so I can open my garage doors in #homeassistant without the stupid myq cloud crap My house. My hardware. My way! As it should be. Also, yay. Go Artemis II !

@ironicbadger@techhub.social I did something kind of similar in 2015 with a Raspberry PiB (V1) and a Piface Digital hat.I have the relays on this thing wired in parallel with the wall buttons for my garage doors. I didn't have Home assistant back then (I was still running a Vera+) there's basically a python script that runs a simple web server and brings in the Piface Digital library. When I go to the proper URL, with the proper querystring, it activates the proper relay, and opens the associated garage door.

@ironicbadger@techhub.social I did something similar with my setup.. Though I dropped the coin battery and powered it from my ESP

@ironicbadger@techhub.social I also did something similar. I wired the relay to the wall button on the garage wall.

@ironicbadger@techhub.social Now that's a clever solution right there. I'm 100% against that stupid MyQ cloud garbage. I went that route years ago and my garage door was worse afterwards. I got a meross garage door opener, runs locally and just works while being instant! I don't even bother with the remotes anymore.
