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 tried myq for about 5 minutes before dumping it in the trash and getting a RatGDO. it's been great.
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)
Hopefully with Matter becoming more popular, it'll make it easier to standardize local IoT devices.
Check out to GDOBlaq from konnected. I have the alarm panels and they're great.
