Guess I didn’t read the fine print but Chamberlain doesn’t open, but only closes my garage door. Lame. I’m wondering if I can connect this to Smartthings somehow and open it?

yes, there is a community created app for MyQ. Recommended that you purchased a tilt sensor. You can read about it in the following thread…
This SmartApp integrates Chamberlain/LiftMaster MyQ doors and light controls into SmartThings. It creates a garage door or light switch (MyQ light module, not the light on the door itself) device in your list of Things and allows you to control the device…
By tapping the device buttons in the SmartThings mobile app
Automatically by your presence (coming or going) in a Routine or other SmartThings rules app
Via switch tiles in a SmartTiles dashboard
By asking Alexa or Google Home to turn the on the door or light

You can open the garage doors using the classic app using routines or webcore

As @jkp says, there’s a SmartApp.
However, I doubt you’ll be able to get it to do something that the Chamberlain app can’t do.
I have two Chamberlain garage openers with built-in MyQ. I can open and close them using their app.

I was gonna say the same. My Chamberlains open and cloe with the myq app.
I own two chamberlain garage door openers that are myQ enabled and both fully support opening and close via the myQ app. If yours don’t then you are doing something wrong and/or your safety sensors are broken or otherwise not working.
I also have both of mine integrated with SmartThings using the MyQ lite Smartapp and they work perfectly in my routines for automated closing and opening.

I sure think they should work but don’t have one.
Try hitting up the Chamberlain support group. Once the MyQ app works, the SmartThings integration will also
