This does not bring me joy.

I got the Meross vs the ratgdo because it seemed the slightly less hacky solution (has a case and is HK certified) . This was before I realized I had the “Yellow" button and needed the extra remote. And also before I realized I'd need to wire a cable across the ceiling for the open/close sensor.

Mind you I had all this working just fine with Homebridge.

🤬 MyQ!

@paul I installed the Meross a few months ago and it was easy enough though the long cable is annoying. But very nice to be able to open the garage from down the street and bike directly into it coming home from work.

@chrisheinonen what’s your secret for pulling off the maneuver on a bicycle? My Apple Watch can’t hear me in the breeze. My AirPod can hear me, but won’t open without unlocking my phone (despite my watch being one me and unlocked). Pulling out my phone and making eye contact with the FaceID cam while riding seems… like a bad idea 😂

@kenny113 If I hold up my watch it will pick it up, but I also have my phone on a bike mount (Peak Design, it's very nice) and that can hear me as well and do it. Since I have the bike data displayed on the phone when I ride it seems to work fine for me.

@kenny113 Tested a bit more yesterday and my phone can hear me clearly on the Peak Design holder out front as well (just recently got it) and it was fairly windy yesterday which made the bike home harder than usual but it still picked me up and opened the door.
