    I got burned by MyQ garage doors and JuiceBox EV chargers doing a rug pull on their cloud platform.

    Never buying another piece of smart home gear that doesn’t give full local control.

      Look into ratgdo if your willing to DIY. Konnected is just about to release a version of the same. More costly but konnected actually has customer service.

        Opengarage is also great. You just wire it into the same ports as your garage door button and you can then connect to it via its wifi app or home assistant. Works like a champ for $50.

        Same folks that did opensprinkler.
