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.
I actively avoid and move away from HA type devices that do not work without WAN. There’s no reason that me pushing a GUI button to turn off a light needs to do anything more than travel to my AP, to HA and then to the light. Let’s not bring the cloud into this.
