Ratgdo for my garage door (https://paulwieland.github.io/ratgdo/). So simple but it works so well. Blows MyQ and OpenGarage out of the water
I have installed 3 of these now. A little expensive for an outright cost, but well worth it when you see how easily it integrates with the garage door openers. You can a ton of information out of it and some other goodies like parking sensors. They did a great job of making it really easy to install and straight forward to add to Home Assistant. You save a ton of money in the long run over a MyQ subscription.
I have one of these but haven’t set it up yet. MyQ is so annoying.
Those seems nice products, but wow, they cost quite a lot!
If you’re more into making your own circuit boards, there’s a project that provides open schematics for RatGDO that uses the same ESPhome firmware.

JLCPCB had a sale on PCB assembly and I was able to order 5 boards assembled and ready to go for about $25. I already had the ESP microcontrollers, just had to add three wires, flash the controller, and solder it to the board.
It unlocked so much more control over the MyQ integration. It actually showed me how much of a joke the MyQ app is considering how much more can be done with $10 worth of parts and code that random people on the internet made.
Most of these products are made by individual entrepreneurs or small businesses. They don’t have economies of scale, so each product is hand made, which makes things more expensive.
Oh, I didn’t know, thanks for the information.
