Meross dropping IFTTT support, alternatives?

[gordon.thelander]

Hi all,

In a move guaranteed to alienate customers, Meross has just announced that they will be dropping IFTTT support from 30 November, The informal Hubitat driver OAuth link does not work and the setup seems too complicated to operate. Any pointers for a habitat compatible garage opener besides Aeotec please?

(New Product) is this the new king of Garage Door openers?

So I just stumbled on this new device. It appears to be almost identical to the Mhcozy momentary switch but this also incorporates 433mhz RF. This would make an ideal garage door opener as the RF doesn't need to connect to any network, yet it still has ZigBee so it can be connected to HE. Thoughts?

Tuya Zigbee Garage Door Opener

On a whim I picked up this cute little Tuya Zigbee garage door opener for less than $30, hoping it would work with Hubitat. It looks like I should have done my research first. Is there any hope of getting this supported? What is the process for requesting support for new devices? I tried changing the device type, and I even added a driver code I found on another forum. No luck so far. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. [image]

There’s a Hubitat device driver for it by @kkossev. Pairs as a zigbee device to Hubitat, and eliminates the need for a separate door sensor to be purchased.

And then there's this, using a Shelly 1:

Cutting out MyQ cloud from Garage Door control

Sorry for the long post but for those of you that do not want cloud dependent control over your garage door opener (and have just miniscule soldering skills) may hopefully find this helpful. I have a MyQ compatible LiftMaster Security+ 2.0 garage door opener which I wanted to control through Hubitat so that I could open the garage door via a NFC tag in our cars. The purpose of converting to NFC tag control was to 1) prevent theft of the remote control from the car and 2) prevent accidental open…

Thanks - I'm pretty new to this, so excuse the noob question - my garage door just needs two contacts shorted to open - no current, just the closing of a circuit. I see a lot of switches that carry current, but none that just closes a circuit - is that what they mean by "dry contact" on the Shelly data sheet?

@gordon.thelander

dry contact

Yup, there is a dry contact output (relay) on the Shelly 1.
Connect it directly to your GDO instead of a Security 2.0 Pushbutton.

Yup.

The Tuya opener that I linked to also works the same way.

Thank you!

If you want to stick with Wi-Fi (but with built in drivers, local control) and already have a contact sensor installed for your Meross... take a look at this vid:
