I just setup ratgdo on my Chamberlain garage door opener and it was great. Flashing it via Chrome and configuration was easy, Home Assistant picked it up via MQTT immediately, and wiring it up was simple. All around a great experience and well worth the money. I’ll keep myQ around for a few days, but if no issues crop up, I’ll be kicking it to the curb soon.
While I also am all for firmware swaps, just to be clear, this isn’t a swap on the garage door opener itself. It’s a standalone controller that you run 3 (at least) wires from it to the normal wire terminals on the opener. But hell yeah, I’d love a hardware swap on all my Google home devices.
Haha I’ll confess I didn’t actually read the blog post. I just read the synopsis and made an assumption about it :b
