For some reason the garage door opener in my new car is just not working, so my next logical step obviously is to buy a control board made specifically for controlling Liftmaster doors and connecting them to HomeKit because Chamberlain themselves blocked the ability to do that via their API.

Must be some serious Exec Driven Development over there.

Yeah, they have an API but they put it behind Cloudflare and blocked the homebridge plugin. Doesn’t seem to be any way to do it via purely software anymore.

I heard about this somewhere. So the garage door blocks all third party app access? Weird.
