Hi, is there currently a way to add the myQ garage door controls to SmartThings? I know there used to be an old method that no longer works.
There is currently no method to integrate MyQ to SmartThings.
There are third party devices that can connect your Security+ 2 Chamberlain Garage Door Opener to SmartThings such as Meross, TailWind and Ratgdo.
I did post yesterday that the new generation Security+ 3 Chamberlain Garage Door Openers - all 3rd party accessories have been shut down except for any Chamberlain partners which requires a subscription to MyQ.

I had a chat with Meross in the past month, and I believe their integration will continue to function as long as Chamberlain openers are still able to pair to Homelink and built in car remotes, although the user must request a free “accessory” compatible with their particular opener.
Contact Meross directly at support@meross.com directly with any questions, specifically to confirm that they have an updated accessory compatible with the white LEARN button on Security+ 3.0 devices.
One of my door openers recently failed after 25 years, but there were still Security+ 2.0 openers available and, out of an abundance of caution, I chose one of those. Home Assistant has a Meross LAN integration to keep things local, if that’s one’s preference.
Choosing another brand of opener may be a better way to go (and a means of protest), but in my case, I was lazy and swapping one Chamberlain for another made the installation extraordinarily easy.

I am using the konnected black module and its been working great with smartthings.
As far as anyone knows, it it the goal of Chamberlain to drop Homelink support, too? They are getting harder and harder to justify as a garage door opener choice. Unless, of course, you wish to buy into their whole ecosystem, including cameras, etc.

I’m pretty ignorant on this but wouldn’t dropping homelink cut them off from every (most, many?) built-in buttons in vehicles?
I have been using RATGDO on my Liftmaster 8500 for little over a year now and have no issues.
Does Chamberlain do over-the-air firmware updates? If not then any device that’s currently working should continue to work, right?

Unlikely. It is one thing for Chamberlain to toss aside the relatively small number of individuals intent upon integrating their garage doors into their Smart Home. It would be quite another to do so to the 100 million people who have Homelink installed in their cars (though, obviously, not everyone who has it uses it. ).
RATGDO won’t work with the Security+ 3.0 openers, which were just recently introduced.
Even if they did (and they don’t, so far) the older openers don’t have the electronics necessary to implement Security+ 3.0
