MyQ Lite stopped working yesterday (2021-08-26)

If anyone is interested I found a temporary solution for controlling MyQ via Alexa until the integration is repaired. I am piggybacking off the MyQ lite device already created in ST and did not change any of my automations I already had set up. It’s not elegant but it works.

Download the Simple Commands app (SC)
Create a SC account and verify email
Log in and select add item
Connect MyQ and enter your credentials
Create 2 routines - 1 for open and 1 for close (don’t adjust any routine settings besides selecting open/close)

  1. From the top left menu, select Routines
  2. Select Add routine at the bottom
  3. Name routine, select create routine
  4. Select Garage, hit add, select open/close
  5. Repeat steps 1-4 for opposite command

Go back to the top left menus, select all items
Select add/remove items
Find MyQ and select manage
Select sync
Go back to the top left menus, select all items
Select your garage
Select Enable Voice Companion
Toggle each scene to On
Create phrase and Save

In Alexa app
Enable the Kloee for SC skill (not the Simple Commands skill)
Enable skill and discover devices. It should discover the 2 scenes you created above

In ST create a Simulated Alexa Switch (named mine Temp MyQ)
Create 2 automations

  1. If MyQ Device door is open Then open Temp MyQ
  2. If MyQ Device door is closed Then close Temp MyQ
    (These 2 automations link my existing automations)

In Alexa, create 2 routines

  1. When Temp MyQ opens Then (slecet SC open scene)
  2. When Temp MyQ closes Then (slecet SC close scene)

Hope this helps
Edited to include missing step in bold. So sorry!
