Are you able to run both systems? I’m wondering if they would conflict with each other or not…
I ask because I own a Tesla which actually has support for MyQ which is great.

I just installed the Meross (MSG200HK) and I kept my MyQ hub installed as well. Both systems can coexist side-by-side.

Just to clarify, Tailwind’s own app may work locally to communicate with the openers, but the integration with SmartThings is Cloud-to-cloud.

Yes, I actually have MyQ still connected and it’s working.
Yes, you are correct. The app, Home Assistant and Homekit, will all work locally.

Hi guys. Can anyone help. I’m fairly certain I completely removed all my containers and images on RPi, but for some reason, whenever I try to detect new devices in ST app, the myQ Controller keep popping back in.
Is there anywhere else I need to be checking?
Did you uninstall the driver?
Not sure. I did go into SmartThings website here Samsung account and found the device and removed it there as well.
In the app, open the hub associated with the myq controller. From the 3 dota in the upper left select Driver. Find the myq driver and select delete.

Thanks so much. Also just remembered to go into the drivers page and unenrolled all the related drivers there as well.
I used to have MyQ talk to Smartthings via a kludge. You can’t talk to MyQ via this method, but you can receive data from MyQ and act on it in ST. Many of you likely already are familiar with this:
Tasker > Sharptools > Smartthings
I use cheap Android ‘burner’ phones as light switches. If you load Tasker and Sharptools on one, you can have Tasker grab the alert messages sent out by the MyQ app. Then, based on the subject line or content, have the Sharptools/Tasker integration create an action based on that event.
I’m not seeing it as necessary any more. But I am tempted to rebuild it, just for kicks.
Can Tasker activate the MyQ app on my phone to open and close?
There’s a Tasker add-on called AutoInput that can do this. So hypothetically, yes.

Thanks, I will check it out.
There is no longer a SharpTools plug-in for Tasker.
You can use Tasker to trigger SmartThings directly using Http Requests in Tasker.
My RatGDO finally arrived. As soon as I get some time, I do plan on seeing what kind of ST driver I can make for it. There will still be a requirement to run a MQTT broker on your network, although those seem to be pretty easy to set up.

Sometimes, sufficient control exists without interoperability. I think I’ve arrived at that conclusion (just for myself of course) with Chamberlain. It would be nice to have it interconnected with everything else, to be able to have disparate events trigger open/closed or operate the lights.
But IMO the convolutions required to achieve that just aren’t worth the effort anymore. I’ve done it twice via various methods, and each time Chamberlain saw fit to eliminate that particular path to interconnectedness.
Their app allows me to schedule closing the door at multiple times daily. It allows me to manually open/close the door from anywhere I can get a cell or WiFi signal.
Absent Chamberlain re-opening external links to the system, that is good enough for me.

Just thought I would share where I went when MyQ integration went down. I already had a Zooz Zen16 setup but was having intermittent disconnect issues with it I couldn’t resolve. So I bought a Tailwind controller for our doors. It adds another path to control and get the status of the doors. Tailwind also connects to Smartthings via a cloud integration.
Setup wasn’t very difficult and it also comes with a door sensor.
just a heads up. Tim is working on a driver that im beta testing with some guys. It uses the esphome firmware instead. No secondary device is needed. Hes only been working on it for maybe 3 days now, but hes got a ton done and most of the core functionality is done.
