I recently moved away from MyQ to local control of my garage door and I’ve been loving it. I stumbled across the linked issue where MyQ shit the bed for roughly 3 days and it just confirms to me that the extra effort to move away from a cloud service was worth it. I’m down to just one last cloud service for something inside my house. My mind is pretty much made up that if I can’t accomplish it locally, I won’t do/use it.
And, the best part- Home assistant keeps getting better and better!
Yeah - I’m kinda amazed at how much functionality I’m able to get from such good FOSS like HA. I just wish they had a once-off donation capability I could use. I’m not into subscriptions at all, so I usually make a donation each month to a different tech project that has made my life better.
I pay for the subscription solely for the purpose of supporting it. Most of the functionality it offers, just isn’t useful to me.
Shame. I just don’t do subscriptions.
