Firstly, I completely agree with the sentiment in this post. I’m one of the many affected by this, and it’s annoying.
Secondly, I have a hunch that there is a lawyer on the MyQ side that said that allowing customers to control their doors via api will open MyQ to liability. It’s an absurd argument since, well, it is a door with a remote control, but I can easily picture someone making that argument.
I wish there was a way to ensure open compatibility of devices when they are sold, like an “open access” certification.
