Hi - my 31 year old garage door system is on its way out. Currently I have a GoControl GD00Z-2 (I have had that since I my original Wink controller) and I'm trying to figure of what will work with either that or something newer. The guy who came to service the door said they are Liftmaster dealer and all their products have MyQ tech (which I believe will not work with what I have?).
Any suggestions on what my options are would be appreciated.
RATGDO or Konnected's BlaQ are popular options for MyQ openers.
If you want to stick with the GoControl or any other basic relay, you'll likely need a Garadget.
zooz zen 16 or 17 relay if you want z-wave, or an mhcozy relay for zigbee. Security 2.0 to dry contact unit, optional garage mount keypad.
Thanks - I've been reading up on the Konnected solution but haven't found a lot of people using it on HE, so a little wary.
Thanks - I'm not necessarily hung up on GoControl but was looking to see if something like Genie would work with that.
I'm not sure what this means!! I know that the MyQ family uses Security 2.0 but what is the dry contact and where would it be on the GDO?
If you stay away from MyQ, you have a lot more options in terms of various basic relay solutions.
It goes between the relay and a garage door opener using security 2.0
Oh unlike myq the above is 100% local.
Yeah - not particularly hung up on MyQ but there were zero options presented by the service guy (he did say that they were LiftMaster resellers)
If you want to keep the GoControl, it should work with about anything that has a simple dry contact for inside control.
Some people like Linear/GoControl. Others don't. I've myself have had 5 of them, and they've all been reliable, so I'm one of the people who do like them. YMMV.
One thing though, if you want to stay with GoControl, I would recommend updating to a current S2 model (GoControl GD00Z-8).
Thanks - GoControl has worked for me as well and I know that it's time to upgrade. It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem - which piece to get first as that would drive the second one. If I stay with the GoControl then that locks me out of LiftMaster, Chamberlain etc. and if I get the Konnected or other solution then I am tied to the MyQ offerings 
Pretty nice. Not in the market, yet.
"Doesn't work with Elite".
What are the implications for that? Elite phasing out Security 2.0?
Are you saying you aren't looking to buy, or that the Garaget isn't available yet? If the latter, it's been out for years and many of us here use it.
Where did you read that? The only mention I saw of Elite was that one model doesn't need it, and another model is compatible.
I'm not in the market to purchase one at the moment.
I didn't get past the picture, lol.
I have a lift master and had the Garagadet button hooked up to a Zen16 for a while but replaced it with a RATGDO last year and have been very happy with that decision. RATGDO basically provides all the functionality of the wall button and exposes motion, beam sensor status, light status and control and you can also lock the GDO where remotes don’t open the GDO. I find the lock feature very useful at night and while on vacation because my kids cars are parked in the driveway and if someone were to break in and try to use their remotes the GDO will not open.
There is a community local integration as well using the esphome firmware on the RATGDO, HA isn’t required.
They've several ready to go solutions...nice.
I know someone with a MyQ, or cloud-based something or other, and I recall waiting in the driveway for the stupid garage door to close. Local is where it's at. Not sure of the make, but it was indeed very quiet, compared to mine at least.
I'm using a ZEN34 in the car as a garage door opener.
Regardless, you can have a hubitat rule to turn it off in the overnight.
Or have the opener plugged into a smart plug.
I personally feel, from what little I've read, that the RATGDO is complex and expensive.
Michael - it appears that the Konnected solution is based of the RATGDO. Have you (or anyone else in the community) tried that?
In your example sure you can disable but that’s not my point. I am referring to the ability to disable all wireless remotes that are connected to the GDO whether they are the keypads outside the garage, GDO button remotes, or the integrated car Homelink buttons that some car manufacturers include.
To each their own but $45 isn’t a lot especially when you need to buy a Zigbee/Zwave relay plus a Garagadet which will come close to that cost and provides less functionality. In terms of complexity it was super simple to setup with many YouTube videos walking you through it.
I was looking into the Konnected device but it wasn’t available yet when I bought the RATGDO. Plus I felt like supporting the original developer of the technology so I didn’t wait on Konnected. It has been a set it and forget it device with no issues. Know the Konnected device has a nicer case, etc but mine is inside a lunch container on top of my GDO out of site
I thought it was more.
Download the Hubitat app
