A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hopefully this fits here? Its self hosted, but not quite what the usual self hosted post would be. I've not seen any real reviews of these, so I figured I'd post

I don't know about him, but I really don't want to be screwing around replacing my openers

Most openers have a dumb switch interface. A simple close-to-change circuit - I've never had one that wasn't that way. If MyQ is so complicated (serial interface!?) then it needs to go anyway.

Right, but the opener is already there and installed. Plus, it does give you all the information and control over that interface. Buying a ratgdo for $30 and adding it into your Liftmaster opener is still a better situation than a dumb opener and a dumb switch. The dumb switch doesn't give you open/closed/stopped status, lights, etc.

If I were to buy a new opener, I would probably get a liftmaster + ratgdo again anyway

The cheap-as-dirt meross does, it has an open/closed sensor.

I think the newer liftmasters are wireless. The old push button wires are just power for the wireless remote.
