This whole myQ debacle has me thinking about possible solutions. I have my meross unit installed and sort of operational (alerts are working), just waiting on the accessory to actually open and close the door.
But I also started thinking how nice it would be if there were wifi (or zwave/zibee/matter) controlled wall switches and outdoor access keypads. This would eliminate the need to wire anything in and the solution would be super simple even for non technical people. If you can pair a garage remote, you could set something like this up. I’d love to be able to control my outdoor keypad and receive alerts all through Home Assistant, or whatever hub people use.
Seems like there’s a market here for smart wall switches and keypads, not just the smart addons as already done by meross, ratgdo and other similar solutions, they are close. Rather something non-wired and has physical buttons.,
I’ve searched but cannot find anything currently out there. Anyone know of existing products that fit this? Thoughts?
I have my meross account linked to smartthings. That’s literally all you have to do. I have a wireless zigbee up/down switch that let’s need open and close the garage door. Or link your meross account to Alexa and control it with your voice from anywhere. Or both! Loads of combinations.
