Works great for left overs also.

I know I'm probably being dense, so apologies in advance. I too had my MyQ stop and decided to go local. I bought the Zigbee relay mentioned above, and have everything working after soldering onto a sacrificial spare door remote. But what's missing is the "garage door" app that pulls it together. Can I use the Zooz one, without the Zooz relay? Or is there another one that I should be using? Thanks.
If you use HPM, search for “garage” and you will find an app by Larry Kahn or here:

Thanks for the quick reply. Installing from HPM now.

OK. So I'm totally confused. I've tried everything I can think of, but it's not working. The zigbee relay itself reliably "pushes" the button of the door remote. But the Garage Door App does not work. Here's what I have:
Device: Virtual Garage Door which is of type "Simulated Garage Door Opener V2"
App: Local Garage Door which is an instance of "LGK Virtual Garage Door"
I've added a "Virtual Garage Door" to a dashboard and it visually goes through the motions, but does not actually control the door. Looks like this:
The App is configured like this:
What am I doing wrong? I have searched for a cogent configuration guide to set this up, but haven't been able to find it.
Thanks,
Jay
OK. Gave up on the LGK package and switched to the Zooz app/child app/driver. Works great. The instructions were clear. Now everything is good and I'm off of MyQ forever. At least as far as Hubitat is concerned.

I don't know why I waited so long to do this, but I just installed Kevin's Zooz GDO app for my Zen17 setup, and it works perfect! I had been using an ugly hodgepodge of various sensor and relay-related tiles on my dashboard, and now it's all in one nice tile 
Since I'm using 2 wired reed sensors on the Z17 to monitor my door position, I created a virtual contact sensor to combine those, and that works like a champ as the position sensor in Kevin's app.
Mad props to Kevin - this is really nice!
FYI.. I have been going back and forth the owner (I believe) about this light. If request he might do that for a small fee.
see where it says same as above device you did not follow that so it will not work

Just installed your app and it works great! Thank you.

Sorry. That didn't make sense to me and I tried many different configurations. Not sure how the Virtual Garage Door Device Sensor would be the same, but fair enough. My failure. Maybe reword this? Or if it really is the same as the virtual door just use that value in your code? Regardless, I appreciate your response. The Zooz code is working great for my purposes, and that's a happy ending for me. If I'm missing features, I'd be glad to entertain swapping. I uninstalled by the MyQ and LGK related apps/drivers.

Is anyone working to fix the MyQ app code for the new 0auth authorization? I can see Chamberlain as making 0auth the last major change since from a security perspective it makes sense. I can't see buying more hardware to solve this. I already have a Zwave tilt sensor. If I have to get a dry contact relay switch, it will be zwave or zigbee to just completely go around the Chamberlain methodology.
Folks are looking into it, but the prognosis doesn't sound very encouraging at this point.
I (and most folks here) would definitely recommend a solution like that over waiting to see if MyQ can be salvaged. Inevitably, this broken-cloud cycle will repeat with MyQ yet again. Having local control is always a solid win over the cloud.
I was just wondering how you figure out which terminals you hook the wires to inside the remote. I am not afraid to solder but need to know which terminals. I set my meter to ohms and checked the terminals but I get continuity in a couple of different ways. Do I just find 2 terminals that have no continuity until the switch is pressed? Any help will be appreciated.
Good words. I am a tremendous open source advocate. I have looked for a decent zwave or zigbee dry contact relay, but I haven't found one yet.
If local Wifi would be an option for you, I have been using the Shelli UNI and it has been working great. They might have other types as well…
These can do Dry Contact, Voltage Meter and many other things. The only “issue” is that even though they are made to be water proof, they don’t have a box.

Are they controllable from Hubitat? Many wifi devices lack Hubitat control.
There are built-in Shelly drivers. With local control.
