I am aware of those methods too, I’m just trying to use what I have for now though before i throw money at it for more sensors or relays.
The Zooz garage door opener app and a cheap mhcozy relay and tilt sensor (I was already using the ST multisensor with MyQ lite) are just SO much simpler, so much more reliable, and so much easier to setup to ask Alexa to open or close the door... It's worth the price of admission to not have to use a janky unreliable app.
Zooz App?
Redding, CA (second sunniest city in USA) gets up to 117 in summer (unofficially I saw 124 many years ago).
I found double sided Gorilla brand tape holds up well to the heat. My garage doors face west - so as hot as it gets. Just a thought.
Anyone else have a non responsive garage door with 403 errors in the log using HE but it works with the MyQ app? Unpluggling then repowering my MYQ 828LM device seems to fix it.
Update: repowering the 828LM does not fix it!
See this thread
403 error is also happening on other platforms
They changed the authentication.. it no longer works. Moved to local.
May I ask what you are using?
Ah great… So awesome when they do that…
Yeah, i gave up on the MyQ last week when I couldn't even get the MyQ app to talk to it, and the GDO wouldnt rejoin the Wifi when I reset. I'm using a garadget, a Zooz multi-relay and the Zooz GDO application. So far its been great!

Can you clarify?
Presumably you’re using the Zooz relay to control the door via a pre-wired Security+ 2.0 button sold by Garadget?
And not a Garadget opener itself?
I'm using a smart implant.
Exactly -- the garadget sold prewired Security+ 2.0 button, thus:
As recommended in this thread: Local Control Options for MyQ Garage Door Openers
Thanks Ashok.

I had spoken the company they will even set you up with a wire for turning the light on and off. You may need to ask them.
The light on mine is motion sensor connected. I also have 2 led bar lights on a Zooz switch which i could trigger on door activation or motion if necessary....

I removed power from my MyQ 828LM device and the Android MyQ app correctly shows the door status with a big qustion mark. However, the HE MyQ app and device continues throwing 403 errors when attempting to open the door with the HE device's Open command.
Kindly help me out here, I'm confused. Unless the HE MyQ app/device is not using the MyQ 828LM device's cloud connection, can anyone explain why or how it is possible to get a 403 error with the MyQ 828lm device disabled? I would expect a timeout or something similar.
Update: Answering my own question. It's not using the 828LM or builtin door opener cloud connection
Woohoo I think I fixed the HE Myq app 403 error! Following instructions in this Reddit thread, I changed the following MyQ Lite app version 3.1.3 statements at lines: 1035, 1068, 1122, and 1157. Seems to be working for me.
Lines 1035, 1122, and 1157 From:
headers: ["User-Agent": "null"],
To: (or whatever user agent string you want)
