Chamberlain blocks smart home integrations with its garage door openers – again (theverge.com)

As an aside, when I was a kid, people had the idea that it was unsafe to operate a garage door opener outside of visual range, since the operator had a responsibility to make sure it was safe. It's interesting how that idea vanished and now it is just about monetizing convenience.

The same way we can glue a tilt-sensor to a garage door to integrate with a random home alarm or automation system, isn't the end game here to just glue on a little networked actuator that presses the wall-mounted door button inside the garage?

Funny name for such a bad company, banking it after the prime minister that collaborated with Hitler.

At the end of the day it still has to open and close when you press a button. You can just wire a relay to complete the circuit on one of the remotes.

It's what I did when I got a new opener. Works fine in HomeAssistant.
