Thanks, I have many ways to control and monitor the garage door already. I mostly was getting this to work so I can have a virtual switch in Homekit that tells me if its open or closed (on or off) and will let me open and close it too. Faster to swipe down control center for the home app than it is to open myq, etc, etc. But I want the status to work so I can have the switch stay on if open and off if closed.
I think was @hydro311 was referring to is that there are simple, cloud independent, methods to control garage doors and monitor their status - all using Hubitat alone.

I am aware of those methods too, I’m just trying to use what I have for now though before i throw money at it for more sensors or relays.
The Zooz garage door opener app and a cheap mhcozy relay and tilt sensor (I was already using the ST multisensor with MyQ lite) are just SO much simpler, so much more reliable, and so much easier to setup to ask Alexa to open or close the door... It's worth the price of admission to not have to use a janky unreliable app.
Zooz App?
Redding, CA (second sunniest city in USA) gets up to 117 in summer (unofficially I saw 124 many years ago).
I found double sided Gorilla brand tape holds up well to the heat. My garage doors face west - so as hot as it gets. Just a thought.

Anyone else have a non responsive garage door with 403 errors in the log using HE but it works with the MyQ app? Unpluggling then repowering my MYQ 828LM device seems to fix it.
Update: repowering the 828LM does not fix it!
See this thread
403 error is also happening on other platforms
They changed the authentication.. it no longer works. Moved to local.

May I ask what you are using?
Get Help - HubitatAh great… So awesome when they do that…
Yeah, i gave up on the MyQ last week when I couldn't even get the MyQ app to talk to it, and the GDO wouldnt rejoin the Wifi when I reset. I'm using a garadget, a Zooz multi-relay and the Zooz GDO application. So far its been great!

Can you clarify?
Presumably you’re using the Zooz relay to control the door via a pre-wired Security+ 2.0 button sold by Garadget?
And not a Garadget opener itself?
I'm using a smart implant.

Exactly -- the garadget sold prewired Security+ 2.0 button, thus:

I had spoken the company they will even set you up with a wire for turning the light on and off. You may need to ask them.
The light on mine is motion sensor connected. I also have 2 led bar lights on a Zooz switch which i could trigger on door activation or motion if necessary....
