Cloud services for controlling things inside your house are the worst
Cloud services for controlling things inside your house are the worst
The problem This is the first time the MyQ integration has given me any trouble, and it started shortly after I opened the garage door today. I closed it 30 minutes later, but Home Assistant never ...
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.

FWIW i use myQ locally with no issues. I use the myq “homekit bridge” to integrate with home assistant locally.
That's interesting, I don't think that was an option back when I was using MyQ. I guess that's why Matter would be such a big improvement for things.
First myq was completely open to integrate, then I believe they locked it down then they opened it up to homekit a year or two later.
I won't buy one out of principle. Any product or company that was a pain to work with during my days as a control4 integrator is blacklisted from my home. I won't do app-based setups, either.
