You can still add a MyQ Home Bridge to a compatible opener to get HomeKit integration. As mentioned, the Bridge is no longer in production, but they pop up on eBay regularly, albeit at a premium over the original price. To set it up, it's probably best to turn to Reddit for help:
I installed this system by Merros a few years ago, and it has worked great for my garage door.
I picked up one of these on eBay last year and installed it on my Chamberlain opener. Works great and integrates with CarPlay perfectly.
I have that app on my phone but in the car just use the buttons on the sun visor. Does the app in CarPlay have any advantages over those visor buttons or is this just personal preference for where to press—tapping screen vs pressing visor button?
You can open or close the door further away than the sun visor which is really the only thing. Some have issues with the HomeLink buttons where they have to get very close to the door before it opens. Not only that but you can use Siri to open or close also
Thanks @JoeyD. Sounds like Siri is the main advantage. My door opens up when I am several houses away so I’m ready to pull in once I get into the driveway. Only issue is that if it’s sunny out and I have brought the visor down, I need to flip it back up to access the button. Unrelated visor comment: I’m not particularly tall but find that the the shape of the roof makes it hard to push the visor further more forward when it’s down so my upper visibility isn’t great (my seat tends to be elevated which contributes). Not a big deal but a minor annoyance.
You are lucky to be able to open the door that far away, I have to be pulling in my driveway before it will open no matter what position the sun visor is in.
I’m not sure if that’s fixed or not, the way I worked around that issue was to cancel the prediction and tap the destination again. That way I get more route options to check traffic on and the jumping chevron doesn’t happen.
For what it’s worth, I have a Meross just sitting around since I switched to ratgdo. If anyone on the forum is interested, shoot me a DM and we can work a deal.
I wouldn't say perfectly.
Which ever door was last used with your phone, not the homelink buttons, that’s the one that is displayed in CarPlay.
In my case it always showed the right door. I park on the left. There was nothing I could do that made the left door appear on CarPlay. With the MyQ plugin and HomeBridge it was easy to set the config how I wanted but then MyQ blocked the API. So I gave up and use Homelink like a caveman.
They should support it when stopped, so you can watcH something while charging.I don't think Apple will ever support that because it's unsafe. There are HDMI workarounds, though.
