I’m a tech worker, and I’ve got tons of smart things. They’re just all local. (Except my garage door opener. Man, fuck LiftMaster. Oh and my thermostat. Ecobee is ok, but I wish they would offer a local only option.)

RatGDO is a local ESP device you can hook into a LiftMaster to connect it to WiFi in a better way. Highly recommend.

This is awesome, as a small garage door business owner, I may start bringing these up. Though, I may be one of the few people that cares about this.

I may get one, I’ve kept dumb motors for a long time to avoid any bs subscription to open my efing door.

Oh really? I’ll check that out. Thank you. :)

I second that. Chamberlain's/Liftmaster's MyQ app grows more ad-infested by the day and the RatGDO gives you local control (no cloud required)

I tried myq for about 5 minutes before dumping it in the trash and getting a RatGDO. it's been great.

Check out to GDOBlaq from konnected. I have the alarm panels and they're great.

Hopefully with Matter becoming more popular, it'll make it easier to standardize local IoT devices.
