Choose the path that matches your garage setup, then expand the guide below for compatibility details, local-control context, and next-step links.
If myQ cloud control broke your Home Assistant setup, start with the myQ Home Assistant replacement guide. It explains the local-control path and helps route most Chamberlain and LiftMaster users toward GDO blaQ instead of another cloud workaround.
If you are evaluating the DIY ratgdo route, read the ratgdo vs GDO blaQ comparison to see why GDO blaQ is the better finished product for most compatible Chamberlain and LiftMaster openers.
Local control keeps garage status and open/close commands inside your home automation system instead of depending on a cloud API. That is especially useful for Home Assistant users who want faster response times, fewer cloud dependencies, and automations that keep working when third-party integrations change.
Both Konnected GDO products are designed for local smart home integrations. If your main goal is Home Assistant, compare your opener type first, then use the myQ replacement guide to pick the cleanest local-control path.
