Best they can do is stop selling it. HomeKit is a local service, not cloud, so they'd have to specifically remove it by forcing an update. Given that when they started selling the Home Bridge the entire selling point was HomeKit, that seems like a great way to quickly lose a class action.

I ordered one of the ratgdo devices a couple weeks ago just in case. As long as HomeKit works I'm happy for the moment, but it's nice to have the backup option. I'm not too interested in replacing two perfectly functional garage door openers yet, or going with some tacked-on solution to determine if the door is up or down.

It'll definitely influence my decision, though, when it comes to replacing these openers in the future. I used to like Liftmaster.

They could also ship a firmware update which disables it, although I imagine there’d be some concern about a lawsuit.
