Haha, I did the same exact thing myself about a week ago.
Not completely done yet, but this should definitely be fixable once the new option I need is available. I have it about 80% coded

Got all the authentication figured out and working as well as pulling the list of devices. Now I just need to get commands fixed..

Thank you for your due delingence at getting this "reengineered".

I second the thank you for putting time into this to fix it. I really would like to move to a more on-prem option but I don't have the time to invest in that right now.
I have a bunch of code cleanup to do, but I'm able to get device commands to work so once the new feature is released that will let us do the authentication, this should be good to go.

Did Hubitat commit to delivering these changes you depend on? Any timeline on their part?
They don’t generally provide timelines but sounds like the next release. Guess it depends how long it takes to get that out the door.

I just received a new update for the mobile Hubitat client in anticipation of 2.2.9. I'm ONLY Guessing not too much longer.

The Hubitat team will not make any public commitments. I don’t blame them. Needs, markets, and other uncontrollable influences can affect any commitments they make publicly.

Bruce made a post yesterday saying 2.2.9 is in beta.

Pardon me for the dumb question, but how does this work, exactly, for those of us who have MyQ Garage Door openers? Is this something that replaces the MyQ door opener or something that can link it to the Hubitat? Sorry for the dumb question, I've been hearing about this but am not really sure what it does, exactly.
So older garage doors open by shorting two wires together via a switch on the wall. The opener just looks for the circuit to be completed to signal the door to open or close.
This Zooz device, called a relay, is controlled locally by Hubitat. When you activate it (turn the relay on) it completes a circuit which signals the door to open or close much like the old-fashion wall switch. It is just a remote control switch.
Newer Security 2.0 doors add some complexity to that process, the wires that were a simple signal are now a complex encoded signal. You can't just touch the wires together and make the door open. But the idea is the same, you have to tell the door what to do, and this Zooz relay becomes part of that process. So the relay turns on, you tell an in-between device what to do, and that in-between device sends the encoded signal to the door. That in-between device can be a wall switch, an extra car remote, or a dedicated device.
It can totally replace MyQ if you want, or it could supplement MyQ so you have multiple control methods. It depends if you want both local and cloud base control, or one or the other.
If @Hubitat_Staff would be so kind to move this and Krishna's post above to the following thread, I would appreciate it.

We are there. The update has been released.
Edit: Update for Hubitat has been released. Not MyQ Lite. Just for clarity

I published the new version. You will need to update and do two things:
- In the app, re-enter your MyQ username and password and login
- Go to the screen where you select your MyQ devices and go through that workflow (make sure to click Done at the end!)
Everything should work after that. There is no need to do a separate token generation like with SmartThings, everything is handled in the app automatically.

Confirmed! And thank you!!
Absolutely AWESOME! She's back working again!
@dman2306 ... I followed the steps in your post and it appeared my HE7 upgraded without any errors (see attached log file). When I added a Door control tile to my dashboard for my Gate, I get a ??? Unknown. Any idea how to resolve this?
What is a "??? Unknown" I don't know what that means? I don't use the dashboard so I'd probably need more information to help out. Can you share a screenshot?
