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.

Home Assistant is open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first. Powered by a worldwide community of tinkerers and DIY enthusiasts. Perfect to run on a Raspberry Pi or a local server. Available for free at home-assistant.io
FWIW i use myQ locally with no issues. I use the myq “homekit bridge” to integrate with home assistant locally.

This is wild. I never imagined I’d even need to control a garage door remotely o.O
For me it adds some reassurance if my garage door is closed while I’m away
