Hello, I have Liftmaster wifi garage doors with MyQ. I have the MyQ SmartApp but it doesn’t seem to be working. I had the garage door openers along with tilt sensors set up in some of my routines. For example my garage AC turns off if a garage door opens. For a while now I’ve noticed my garage AC doesn’t stop when a garage door was open. In the Smartthings app it looks like the garage doors openers are no longer connected.
Can someone help me get them connected to Smartthings again please. Thanks!

Groovy based Smartapps were discontinued in Jan.
Yes, there was a notice in the app, but Samsung abuses those notes to spam us with all kinds of irrelevant junk. I have been trained to ignore the flag showing that I have notices because 99% of the time there is no useful information.
I have a lot of sympathy for folks who were caught unaware when all Groovy Smart Apps were shutdown.
Samsung has in their servers an exact list of every device that every user of the SmartThings app has connected along with the DTH in use plus every Smart App in use. And an email address to reach everyone. As a former software developer I won’t minimize the effort it would have taken to generate a mass emailing that included a user-specific list of probable at-risk devices and apps. But it certainly seems to me it would have been possible. And it would hav…
There is a community developed Edge driver solution available. I believe it requires an always-on computer to work.
This Edge driver provides an integration between SmartThings and MyQ using a LAN bridge server. Once you have the bridge server running (via simple executable or docker container), SmartThings will automatically detect and add your MyQ devices.
Installation
Follow the instructions here: GitHub - brbeaird/SmartThings-MyQ-Edge: SmartThings/MyQ Integration via Edge
You will need to enroll in my custom driver channel and then spin up your instance of the bridge server on your LAN.
Features and Notes
The LAN bridge server handles polling MyQ status - there is no more need for a sensor on the door as there was for the previous SmartApp implementation.
The Edge driver and bridge server should automatically handle IP changes if they occur. They use SSDP to communicate during discovery and …
