Being in the IT industry for many major OEM’s for 40ish years Im absolutely amazed that people blindly gravitate towards ‘cloud’ (which I’ll argue is NOT a destination, rather an operating model) somewhere unknown. THis can easily be built locally – however that give the consumer too much control, and is not in the interest of the OEM.

Look at the past behavior of Chamberlain, they at one point had a public API that allowed people to integrate MyQ with 3rd party apps, but that NOT good for internal revenue generation and they shut it down (almost immediately after a new CIO was appointed, and that guy came from a know consumer unfriendly industry, the cable TV company Tivo). Nonetheless workarounds were developed (a really eloquent one called “RatGDO”) that brought control back to the consumer.

The new stuff is nothing more than an attempt to ‘lock in’ additional revenues, once the consumer starts using these things I expect a monthly fee to be introduced to use anything other than the button on the wall!

I am having trouble finding someone in SW Louisiana to change my codes. one of 2 remotes was stolen by one of my 2 adult children recently. My 41 year old daughter came in & threw clicker in my purse in front of me. I checked found other clicker gone. I arranged to have door locks changed, but it took several weeks. They had keys & things were going missing. Garage gives access to shop of tools, & flimsy back door which is 1/2 glass. so now my door opens at times and I need to change the code to be safe from two (!!) adult children!!!
