This shit makes me fucking howl with laughter every time. Anyone that expects a device with a vendor supplied cloud connection to not get bricked a couple years after release is a goddamn idiot.
This is why I just wired a zigbee relay in parallel with the wall button for my generic garage door opener
This is the way. At least you can troubleshoot it and it doesn't need an internet connection. The amount of HA users that still rely on outside APIs is ridiculous. I won't run anything that needs an internet connection to work, that's the litmus test.
I hope you dont use a weather integration, you of course get your weather information directly from NOAA satelites or another non-internet source.
Sadly, that trend looks more true with each year.
