myQ Garage Door, open with RATGDO via MQTT or ESPHome

Questions & Help
1

Has anyone had success using the RATGDO board to control your myQ (yellow learn button) garage door through Homey using MQTT or ESPHome apps? TYIA

Were you ever successful in this? I am trying to move over from HA to Homey Pro, and I have a RATGDO for my garage door opener.

I can’t seem to find a guide to get this working with either ESPHome apps or MQTT.

Odly enough homeassistant is WAY easier to add MQTT or ESP32 Devices. Been a realy struggle in Homey Pro

Hi Gregg sorry for the delay in reply. I have not been able to make this work. One of the people from Zooz hinted on a podcast that it can be done using a Zooz device (zwave) but I have not chased it down

Historically, Athom has never been interested in (or even understood) MQTT, and it also doesn’t match well with how Homey implements device support, where the user has to manually “pair” each device, which mostly rules out the ability to implement something similar to Home Assistant’s MQTT Discovery.
