Comment on Ditching MyQ for OpenGarage - Open Source Garage Door Control
JoeHill@lemmy.world 7 months agoI use a Meross. Works very well with HomeKit.
MyQ was always a piece of garbage for me. Damn thing would error out and become non responsive after 5-10 openings, and would require a reboot. Could never figure out the root issue. Tech support was worthless. My hunch is that it doesn’t play nicely with Unifi equipment, or I’m getting interference from industrial sites nearby.

I have the same issues as you; to make matters worse, it doesn’t like any of the Android phones I have so I have to borrow someone’s iPhone just to hook the damn thing back up.

Unless you absolutely need MyQ because of a 3rd party integration, I’d really suggest ditching it. The only problem I’ve ever had with the Meross was when my local DNS (AdGuard Home) got flaky — and I can’t really blame that on Meross. Other than that, it’s been rock solid.

I absolutely plan to. It’s an unreliable piece of shit.
