My garage doors are MyQ enabled but I tossed that out a while ago due to similar frustrations.
Been utilizing this method to control the door and tilt sensors to report status of the door. All local.
Some are intimidated by the soldering part, but its a clean solution that sits inside the house. No need to keep it in the garage. Been running strong for over a year and hasn't missed a beat.
I know since I put this together though that there have been some out of box solutions that work with the myq openers but I haven't had any need to change over. This just works greate and controls multiple doors.
