MyQ Blocked Control Of My Garage Door But RATGDO Opened It

I'm a big fan of local control of smart devices as well as a unified app to control every thing but Chamberlain decided they didn't want 3rd party to have access to the MyQ API anymore rendering all existing integration inactive. It's reasons like this I like to retain local control of my device but thanks to the RATGDO created by Paul Weiland I can now control my garage door anyway I want.
Check out the video on how I Installed.

I like the way you did the wiring. Everyone else trying to make it way too complicated, nice job

[@TyDaSpace]

I'm glad you found it helpful.

[@normnelson5035]

Very cool!

[@techbymidas]

Bouta do this to my garage door opener 👀

[@TyDaSpace]

Yah man! It is awesome and immediate. I have tossed all my garage door openers in to storage. Minimal things kicking Around

[@BrownieTownies]

To my knowledge, this is the second time they've done this. I don't really like Chamberlain's mentality when it comes to their customers. Great video 👍

[@TyDaSpace]

Thanks Animesh. That’s why I typically stay away from cloud solutions. The can do as they wish and you can’t do anything about it. With this solution it completely cut them out. I also won’t be doing any sort of software upgrades on my unit anymore cuz I’m sure they will try to put a block.

[@matthew-lawrence]

Yeah that company is horrible.

Nice video

[@TyDaSpace]

Thanks Mark 😀😀😀

Cool but I can't do any more micro-usb devices, even if it's just to flash the device.

[@TyDaSpace]

Why is that? It’s literally a set and forget. I haven’t touched it since I put it up. I can’t say the same for other USB C and usb 3 devices.

[@matthew-lawrence]

@@TyDaSpace Because the micro-usb connector was garbage when it was first released. Easy to break, non-reversible, low speed, limited power specs. I'm slowly purging all devices that are not usb-c and not buying anything new with (lightning) or micro-usb. Not sure what devices you are having issues with that have usb-c, but some devices don't implement the standard properly yet due to poorly skilled engineers, especially when it comes to usb-c to usb-c charging. Items that fail in that respect I return right away - no need to reward poor products with my money. One cord to rule them all! Most new devices are being released with usb-c due to the wider acceptance and I believe the European Union requiring usb-c for all smart phones is helping with that trend. Most of the products out that still have micro-usb are old stock or from companies that don't want to invest the time to rework their legacy products to use usb-c. Plus I really don't like connectors that take two attempts to plug in correctly. There are a few device, like the ratgdo I'm interested in buying, but I'll hold off until they are usb-c.
