I think the newer liftmasters are wireless. The old push button wires are just power for the wireless remote.
Comment on Ditching MyQ for OpenGarage - Open Source Garage Door Control
rouxdoo@lemmy.world 7 months agoMost 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.

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