###MyQ Pro’s
- Ability to control through native app (no z-wave network required)
- No door sensor required, the motor relays position details and is more accurate in that respect
###MyQ Con’s
- Depends on reverse engineered API’s
- Needs a gateway device to control it
- If the internet is down it won’t work
##gocontrol/Linear Pro’s
- Runs on independent Z-Wave network, could run through the hub local execution even when internet is down
- Acts like a Z-Wave repeater device
##gocontrol/Linear Con’s
- Needs door sensor and battery (life is about 5-10 years)
- Has quirks for power fluctuation and needs time to recovery when there’s a power outage
- Does not work with “digital” garage door openers (those using serial or digital communication with the switch)
See this thread for more details on quirks:
I have BOTH and am happy with both and we have developed custom handlers for both. It’s comes down to what you need more (see the Pro’s).
