I bought a https://www.meross.com/en-gc/smart-garage-door-opener/garage...

Apparently you can hijack the mqtt setup and manage it locally (I mostly wanted to know if I forgot to close the door, so I'm pretty okay with the Meross app).

I guess it doesn't have the built in support for the obfuscated protocol, my opener is just a dry contact so I didn't need to look into it.

I also got a Meross garage door opener, primarily so the kids could get in and out of the house without having to shuffle our two physical clickers around every day (depending on who would be home first).

My wife commented that it's the only useful technology I've ever implemented.

Like you, and haven't yet done the "make it work locally" hijack thing yet - but I haven't needed to because it works well.

Knowing that the door has been left up has also come in handy a couple of times. Also been able to open the garage door to let people into the house to feed the pets while we're away.

Only issue I had is that the WiFi range on the single unit is woeful. I had to put a WiFi repeater within the garage for it to see the signal.

Yeah, the wifi connection on my setup is flaky. Not an attached garage though, a good distance from my router, with cinder block walls.
